      abu ess exactly. It's too bad they didn't run it around their test road course. Back then the handling blew the doors off of a lot of high end manufacturers. And it's even very competitive today on a road course with minimal upgrades.

Well, it worth it and it is a black with ivory and black trims interior, 6 speed manual, and hardtop with no wing. Took the car 3 days after I went to the insurance to buy my ride an full coverage insurance... Went to Fontana raceway 4 days after.. And I've ran 13.13 seconds at 109.08 mph... ? The car were bone stock!!! And took it to the truck scale to weight it with a full tank of gas.. For a bragging right to all of the supra forums who wanted to know what was the real weight of the car.. Mine was 3,416 pounds.. Wow!! And mine is a 1993 premium edition. I guess it is really worth it!!

    21 years later and that car is still sexy as hell and turns heads if you actually get to see one on the road! Toyota/Honda have fallen so short since their golden days in the 90's with so many fun sporty cars. The numbers this supra turns out for a car 21 years old is better than so many cars now a days! Sadly, those days are no more. I just with Toyota/Honda would try to make a strong comeback but we all know the investors run the company now, money is all that matters, not a icon for the company that draws buyers to their brand, and young people to dream of the day they could own a Toyota like the Supra here.....sad.

If that supra was made in '07 like your TL, it would have around 500hp. This car is 21 years old and still faster. Sorry, the TL is a nice car back then but its no super car like the Supra was in the 90s.

    This is the way to build a sports car! I've always said this; I'll say it again....give me a sports car with a *bulletproof well designed engine* (forged internals, iron block, etc), a *bulletproof drivetrain* (handles/transfers 1500+Hp if needed) and a *stiff well balanced chassis* from the FACTORY. If you have these three main areas strengthened, this will serve as a BASIC foundation for a strong tuner car!!
    And the Toyota Supra has shown that throughout its years!

It's one of the reasons I drive a 2001 Audi S4 B5 as a daily. The prospect of driving it never fails to excite me. There was something different with cars of these years, there was a connection.

    Anyone comparing this car to a Camry/Accord needs to do some research. First of all the 320/315 hp/tq Supra TT in almost all the actual road test and comparisons would hit 0-60 in 4.8 - 5.1 secs, 1/4 mile in 13.3 - 13.5 @ 106-108 mph. Not to mention the car had incredible grip .98gs and it's braking record was unmatched for years until Porsche finally beat it. So way back in 93-98 those were some of the best performance figures of any car in it's segment and even above it. The Getrag 6-Speed is as durable as all hell and the 2JZ-GTE engine is a proven tuner legend. I collected all the mags during that time and own a 95 Turbo model myself, so I know what I'm talking about. In stock form I think we all know that it's potential is not even scratching the surface. Because even 20+ years later no new re-badged Accord/Acura or Camry can match 90s model stock Supra performance specs or driving experience. Also one last thing, even stock the car is geared to hit 175-180 mph. Only thing stopping it was the built in speed limiter capping the fun at 155 or so.

      Hmmm, what method do you recommend? Is there an easy way to do this with Final Cut?

    • @A_SEGA_Dremcast
      @A_SEGA_Dremcast 9 лет назад +14

      Final Cut Studio's deinterlace filter is so-so, and I haven't tried Final Cut X's filter yet. However, my favorite method is to export the video as is from FCP as it is, to MPEG Streamclip. It's free and is really powerful for being so.
      www.squared5.com
      -Load up the exported FCP file
      -Set to h.264
      -Set bit-rate to between 8kbps and 10kbps
      -Set export size to 720x480
      -On the right, tell it to de-interace and turn multi-pass (slower) and b-frames on
      -Make sure to turn the "better re-size" on (right check box)
      -Click fast start (at bottom -- RUclips likes this)
      Then tell it to go. If you tell it to multi-pass, it will take a while, but the compression looks really good.
      I also suggest Handbrake if you don't like Streamclip. If you have compressor, the de-interlace under "frame controls" is pretty decent, but takes tweaking and can be really slow.
      Hope this helps!!

    My 1987 MKIII turbo has more room, a boost gauge, and oil pressure gauge, and a optional super monitor in place of a clock. I bought it in 1996 for $5K with 110K miles on it. Now I'm at 305K miles and still happy to drive it.

    25 years later it still looks stunning and performance numbers go along with performance oriented cars in todays age. Just amazing

    Sometimes I wish they never used the mk4 supra in F&F. Then they would be much less popular and much cheaper... Oh and probably easier to find. They could have used a Nissan 300zx TT or something else ugh..

    Love watching honest reviews of these hypebeast cars from back in the day. He nailed the gauges…. That was always one thing I said too

    Raced one in a 93 5.0 Stang in 93 and well he walked me bad. At that moment I knew I saw something from the FUTURE.
