So that’s what a stock Supra looks like
Most Supra's typically do look stock apart from aftermarket rims
@@RichRusso4218 Yeah, but came with one of the best engine in the World, and capable of putting out amazing power numbers and keep its reliability !
@@RichRusso4218 Really ?! Never heard of such a thing ! Any proofs ?
@@RichRusso4218 Keep it with respect pls, I don't remember insulting you. Just asking explanations and proofs !
@@RichRusso4218 I prove nothing about your point. Simply where I come from, and where I live now, that ford engine is not available ! So didn't knew it, and I never pretend I knew everything about mechanics ! Your over exaggerated behaviour, is just proving my point, that you got no respect and discipline when talking others !
Btw, you have proven nothing to me on the fact the barra is better than the 2JZ-GTE. So don't be pretentious like this without official sources and proofs ! Telling a ford engine is better than a JDM one, it's like telling Italian engines are more reliable than Japanese engines !
Supra, RX7, 300zx, Stealth R/T, Corvette... What good week to be a test driver.
Definitely i like all of them really want a 300zx but damn there expensive i got one but it's the z31 not a z32 all good cars ya know love my 160hp z31 but wouldn't mind getting the 300hp z32 tt engine for a swap but one step at a time
@@toxictophat4194 i completely forgot about the stealth haha
They are all amazing cars
@@basithph8958 The Porsche was kind of crap tho. But everyone else was cool.
toxic top hat YEAHHHH 160HP N/A Z31, I love mine
$69,276.17 for the Toyota
$75,585.25 for the Porsche
$63,833.04 for the Nissan
$55,948.75 for the Mazda
$57,487.67 for the Dodge
$62,411.23 for the Vette
in 2014 money.
Ouch
This is why if Toyota brought back the Supra it should not cost any more than 100k. $80,000 +/- 10k.
CTJacob Thats actually about what a new vette with options costs now.
You should do this for every retro review, much appreciated
Amazing anyone would consider a 300zx over a Supra.
These cars are impressive even by today's standards.
ladyvee7110 lol not not even close
craig howard Not in horsepower, but in style, character and pure amazement, yes they are.
The only one I would go for is the Supra. Every other one is utterly slow and quite ugly to look at. Lol. Especially the corvette. Forgot about that beautiful rx7 but yes. Those two I’d choose In a heartbeat over the competition of that era
They all needed V6's + twins to make the same power as a new naturally aspirated V6 Camaro. Supra, RX7 and 300ZX still look good though. None are on par with the handling of new cars either, though.
SP392 The more stressed an engine is, the less reliable it will be; hence the extreme stock tunability of these cars that new cars simply don't have. But for that sake, V6 Camaro is 3.6L and makes just 14hp more than the facelifted 3.2 E36 M3, which is now 20 years old.
That RX-7 is still beautiful today.
If you can find one that's still running
@31shaneD I saw an Rx-8 on the road the other day. I think I'd poop myself if I saw an FD.
Shut up dude
This was a golden age in the sports car category. One of the best eras ever with so many brands competing and pushing each other. There have been other great eras but rarely was there/has there been so much competition.
90s/early 00s was peak car for me
Japan had some great sports cars back in those days. Supra, RX7, Skyline, NSX, 3000GT, MR2, 300ZX, Silvia S14. Integra Type R and Eclipse GSX were also pretty good.
+Alex Leyva (WJawd) Yea so what happen to them Now day's lol
R35, NSX 370Z are still there
Kris Iwanowski The 370Z may not be around much longer, its sales are really bad. You can't buy a R35 in the U.S., not even sure you can buy on in Japan, and the NSX is a six figre car just came out after a 11 year hiatus, that may not be around much longer.
Alex Lopez I is because of THE dumb crossovers they should have never been made
Japan did not have Eclipse GSX, but America did. Japan did have the Mitsubishi FTO however.
The 968 had a 3.0 liter 4 cylinder!!!
How big were those pistons!
About the same size as a 6 litre v8 piston
Saw one for sale $900 WTF
Peter Fraser I love it when non-V8 “car enthusiasts” can’t do math or put things in relative perspective. Next he’ll be astonished that cars can have more than 16 valves or blown away that just the supercharger on modern V8 has as much displacement and a 4 cylinder engine.
@@JohannGambolputty22 I love that you think you need to be a v8 fanboy to be a car enthusiast 😂
battlehardened37 Thanks for proving my point. My current ride is a 2.0 turbo Audi making 407 at the wheels. My wife’s ride is a Tesla P85D, my fun car is a 2018 Jeep Trackhawk but nice try pigeon holing me into a specific demographic.
Wow that RX7 still looks great
Amen
Ahh the 90s, when Toyotas were cool...
+RocketRaspeed It was my "dream car" when I was in college, and still can't afford one after college. LMAO
+RocketRaspeed Agreed. Now the only good Toyota's are the Tacoma and 4Runner. All their other vehicles suck!
RocketRaspeed AKA the Supra
After 1998 they made the terrible PRIUS!!!!!!!
SPicy rEns I have a 2001 Prius. I love it, don't knock it until you've tried it.
The supra and rx7 are still wanted today. And command a price too
+B.A. Chan Man, that is so true. I'd like to have the 98 Supra turbo but can't justify paying that much when I can get a newer used MB SL550 or Porsche 911 turbo.
In New Zealand its a little more reasonable. occasionally you can get a tatty NA auto for under 10k and the manual mint turbos are usually around 50-60k. mind you a built turbo monster can be had for around 20k.
Wanted by fanboys *
3000gt vr4 spyders are still going for like 35k im pretty sure.
@@larrshinshin7606 wtf does your comment even mean? That the cars were discontinued? Vecause if thats the case, the nissans werent discontinued, they change the name every generation. Next were the 350, then the 370. And didnt the camaro get discontinued? Does that make it american trash?
Or are you not talking about being discontinued? Please elaborate
I forgot how much these cars cost back in the day...whoa
Fromthefuture the Supra is the only one even close to now exceeding it’s sticker price. Which is bullshit but not surprising
Now, they're all worth $3000
Captain FALKEN lmao I wish supras were only 3000
Captain FALKEN Loool where do you live ????
@@nazu5998 he must live in neverland, supra at 3000 😀😁😂
My wife and I owned a pair of 300ZX TT's, and they felt faster than the claimed 0-60 time. At times scary fast! Modern sports cars with 0-60 in the 3-4 second range must be an insane driving experience!
When I was in high school I owned a used Honda Prelude, I thought to myself "How could a car be any faster then this?" - It did 0-60mph in about 9s.. Now my daily driver does 0-60 in 3.7s LOL
Nice! I'll be getting either a TT or NA model this year. Originally was going for the new Z and Im sure it will be much faster but the 300zx was one of the cars that I admired growing up.
@@signalrr9138 These cars have a very tight engine bay making it very hard to work on. The TT's will be a labor of love, that's lots of labor! If you can do it yourself, then go for it. Otherwise it'll cost a bundle to get these old beauties running perfectly again.
@@brickwal92tt Oh yeah, was quite aware of the cramped engine bay as I knew a guy that owned one and told me about it. Also been doing a ton of research on these cars and fully accept the issues and will do most of the work myself.
the fd rx7 is in the running for most gorgeous car of all time
The Nissan 300zx still a good looking car.
if you like bars of soap. Z31 or get out
imo the front end and door mirrors are hideous, but apart from that it's got an excellent shape.
Miljörör för Språkpartiet what? Wow. First I have ever heard anyone call the front styling of the Z32 hideous. When that car debuted, it was like it had been transplanted from another realm. Absolutely mesmerizing.
@@clammaster4 trash. Z32 till i die.
I miss owning one
That Supra is sooooo hard to find stock without shit tuners and ricers getting a hold of the Turbo Manual ones in the early 2000s
You can actually demand more if your supra is modified with performance
@@rod253 yeah like high performance pedals and racing ashtrays.... watch auto auctions and see which cars actually go for more (hint: it's not the modified ones)
Burt Gummer
Exactly to modify yourself. LOL
Just buy the automatic even if its the NA Supra just add garrett tutbos yourself my boys! :D
@Burt Gummer because the modified ones were probably modified poorly, and were beat on for years.
Truly a great time for Japanese sports cars. I don't think anything today from the Japanese car market can match that era. The corvette looks the most dated out of the bunch, and I think the supra was a great value even then. I would love to own any one of those master pieces.
I agree, they are only barely starting to come back to those cars they were making in the 80s and 90s.
Let's not forget these are future classics as well.
I think all of these cars look rather crappy today. This Corvette looked dated 21 years ago. It was a decade old. It was already time to bring the C5 to showrooms. The Supra and RX-7 have that distinct 90's smooth bubble design. The Stealth reminds me of that cheap "futuristic" look they tried to implement into other cars, like the Probe(ugh). The Porsche and Nissan look almost like regular vehicles. The Fox body Mustang, which was downright archaic by 1993, looked more extreme than either of those in its GT form.
With that being said, I'd bet a metric ton of money that all of them are still a fucking blast to drive.
It made much more than 276, but they just said it made 276.
The 276hp thing didn't apply to US market cars; the Supra made 320hp here and the Z, 300hp.
So cool to see a group of legends and a Porsche 968 in one video!
The Supra was way ahead of its time. Ageless design and engineering. Much respect
+wtsig76 AMEN!
You mean the 3000GT
No, the 300 was. That design was the same since 1989
Good thing this wasn’t made in Japan. Coz that line “way ahead of its time”, was a common description of the motoring press with regards to a certain Nissan back in the day that they tagged as, Godzilla.
Supra has the 3000GT to thank. Nobody gave a shit about the Supra until the MK.IV
300zx still my favorite of the bunch
Love these old videos. Please keep them coming.
Lol I find it funny that Porsche and Dodge are in the same category
The 3000GT/Stealth outsold all their competition. The grand touring car that is the 3000gt/Stealth beat all these sports cars in sales. Much more sophisticated than porsche or chevy at the time with AWD, AWS, electronic suspension, tunable exhaust, and better interior than any car of that era.
The supra won based on desirability due to cult following and it having a detuned supercar powertrain. You'd actually come out ahead if you bought a ton of supras new off the lot @ $38k and stockpiled them until now.
xnitronx Lol, no, you misunderstood Tommy... he meant that any of those other cars were even mentioned in the same breath with the Porsche!
zestydude87 Today, that would be a "funny" comparison if comparing 2014 models. Although in this case, nearly every car from that era DESTROYS the porsche. This particular era for porsche is abysmal. That porsche costs the most and is not better than any car in this video in any aspect. This is coming from a Porsche fan too.
xnitronx The 968 wasn't bad, just not as fast. It was the end of the 944 era. I own a 944s2 with a 968 engine swap and its still a lot of fun. It outhandles the corvette of that era in spades. The Rx-7 is really the only car out of the others in this test that really beats the 968 at its game. Because lighter and turbo.
Shaun Martin The 968 is garbage porsche...kinda like early boxsters....i'd hands down take a supra over those two...any one who would pick the others know very little about cars...more into being "seen" than driving...
I'd still take the Supra and 300ZX in turbo forms.
Only the Corvette remains in continuous production from then to now. Just bought a C8. Love it.
This is when cars were cars, not mobile bedrooms
So true
Let me add to that........'This is when cars were cars, not rolling smart phones.'
Well said. ❤️👌
I love these old clips. There should be a video archive of all reviews.
Wow... I must say I am impressed by these amazing machines! Everything is turbo'd, defiantly was surprised that the RX-7 came turbo'd. Everything had a removable roofs, and Everything looked amazing.
+sead garanovic I love the 90's Japanese made cars, especially the 93-98 Supra twin turbo!
I love that removable roof is up there with all the other impressive things about these cars. I totally agree!
I was defiant too when I saw the RX-7.
Owned all 3 of these back in day 94’ Supra Turbo/93’ RX7/91’ 300ZX Turbo and my brother had a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 so I was fortunate enough to able to experience all of them and without a doubt my favorite to drive was RX-7.....so much lighter feeling and on edge than the others, it honestly made the Supra/300ZX seem more like really high performance but much heavier GT cars.
The Supra can still command its retail value or more if it's in good condition and unmodified. I guess that makes it a classic.
igotwhips So that car I have in my garage is worth money didn't even know always wonder why people always looked at it while I took it out.
Lol now it commands six figures if it's in great condition
Red Dave oh yea. It’s only gonna increase in value, people still get them to beat on em, those few stock Supra’s in manual with the GTE engine will be worth an insane amount in 20 years
@@tiko5876 car values for newer cars are gonna go way up I think. People who have been working from home during corona have nowhere to spend the money, and I think there's gonna be a lot of purchases after this virus is over.
Fanboys be like:
Supras have 1000hp stock
Well I could slam 1000 hp thru the stock internals if I wanted. Can't really say that about any other engine.

I might be in the minority but I always liked the C4's styling. It's strange how no one seems to remember the C4 fondly, unless it's the Grand Sport or the ZR1, but it's good to know that it really was competitive later in its lifespan. Maybe I'll find a good example before I hit 30.
Bc they were and are pos
mike88g1 Alright sure, whatever you say buddy.
mike88g1 how were they a POS? they outperformed cars costing plenty more
My problem with it was the bad build quality. After SIX months the ceiling cloth was hanging down, the door insides were lose . Until I got them fixed I had to hold the door itself when closing the driver side door otherwise I would rip off the door inside simply by closing the door. Basically a lot of stuff got lose or stop working (lights and so on). I checked with some other guys owning same model and many had the same sort of problems. If US auto makers would just make that little last bit of effort and implement better quality check they would be as good as any high end car company. OK, so they get a bit more expensive but it's worth it and sales would be higher. I never looked at another vette until C7. This one I think the engineers made the decisions and not the accountants. It looks great both inside and out, with high quality materials.
camaroman101 those lt1 and the more powerful lt4 engiens were nitemares, overheating gas guzzling pos!!! Now if u want to say something nice go a few years ahesd n talk about the ls1!! Corvette or the ss camaro then i will give u props!
Of all my life’s regrets. Selling my 1993 RX7 is near or at the top. The sellers remorse was instantaneous, and it still stings.... 20 some odd years later.
Everytime i think i find the best match up, i somehow find another.... i cant stop watching these vids....
Oh how I miss that last Supra and RX-7
+Brendan A. MacWade I'd love to have either one of those just for collection but preferably the Supra turbo.
Any of these would be great, tbh.
I had a 92 Dodge Stealth and of all the fast cars I have owned it was probably the best handling of the bunch. WAY ahead of its time in technology.
I owned a Supra twin turbo in 1995. Completely stock was still faster than a 911 or an M3 remaining very comfortable and silent.
+reyrob why do you not still own it?
Sold it in 1997 and bought a 911 Turbo
that supra was not faster than a 911 youre in a dream world if you think that. couldve been comparable 0-60 times but beyond that the cars are not similar
@@mikeholland6750 How fast do you think a non turbo 911 from that time was? A stock Supra could definitely live with a non turboed 911 and could exceed the 155 mph top speed without the electronic limiter.
Supra and rx7 still turning heads and giving the new school a run for their money
Yes sir , I have a 1993 Mazda rx-z
***** Thanks B. A. I'm' going to do some upgrades to it in 2015. No full body kit, just front and rear wheel flares and a racing hood or suicide hood. 700 hp twin turbo. That's the base.
Not stock they dont
Only if modded
Turning heads of vomit
That Supra. A true legend. It beats down cars today in a straight line, in the turns, and braking. Some mags got 0-60 in 4.6sec even stock. It's one of those cars that come along every 10 years or so. Another that comes to mind was the Evo 7/8/9.
Toyota is bringing back the Supra on a BMW platform and/or powertrain. It has a lot to live up to, and hopefully it hits that $45-55k mark. Toyota better not screw this one up like they did the 86.
***** It drives very good but it's underpowered. If Subaru made an STi version it would be one of the best sportscars in the market.
***** It is man. 200 hp in such a well-balanced car is too little. As a number it's OK but taking everything into context, it needs more power to really blow everyone's mind off. To get it to a new level.
ianiva exactly! with all the engines in the subie parts bins, why this one? =\
ianiva I think it was wise to leave room for tuners, which helps maintain interest while keeping development costs and base vehicle price low. It also leaves room for a future model which is more horsepower-oriented, so that they can do a mid-run refresh and improve the value of their development investment. All they need to do is insert a stronger motor, up the shocks and struts and put a new wheel/tire package and maybe make some more angry body work and they have a new model a few years on.
Martin Espinoza There's always room for tuners. Those guys even tune cars that don't really need to be tuned.
Regarding the faster model, I'm afraid they won't do that. There's no indication they will and that's what makes me sad. As I said, the BRZ with the STI's engine would be sublime!
Throwback Thursdays???? What a great idea! I used to watch Motortrend back in the "old days" on my local PBS station and would not miss a week. This is so fun seeing what was available then and to compare it to what we have today. It's like flipping through old car magazines and reminiscing.
That is a good blast from the past. When I used to drool over those cars because I was too young to afford one. I used to drool over the 3000GT the most.
But about 5 years ago I bought the Supra.
The Supra is the hands down winner in this group. Although I do kind of wish I had an RX7 also. The Supra has held its value the most though
Adding an Acura NSX, a Mustang 5.0 notchback, Camaro Iroc-Z , Trans-AM GTA and a Buick Grand National would round out the list... but then there is also the GMC Typhoon and GMC Syclone to deal with.
Yes because came 4 years later than 300ZX Z32TT, 3KGT VR4 and a year behind of the RX7.
Inside and out, the nissan 300zx turbo is timeless. It will still look good 50 years from now.
no way, porsche and vette aside, it is by far the most dated.
I think the design of the RX-7 have aged the best out of all the cars presented.
I think the Stealth aged a bit better.

@@CHEVYCAMARO4GEN I think you would really enjoy the C5 corvette. Its very nice and you can feel that it does have more power too.
C5 is the sweet spot right now. I love my C6 with the LS3 motor, but you can find some excellent bargains now for C5's.
I would love to add a Porsche 968 to my stable, very rare and underappreciated car.
The "Ulitmate" 944 variant !!
Those prices. 20 years later, my 2015 Mustang GT cost the same as the low end of those,or less, makes 2x the power, gets much better gas mileage, and outperforms them in just about every way imaginable. Seems like a great value and yet people complain they are getting too expensive
Matthew Hunter wow! And almost 3 decades have passed since then. Yes, a used mustang gt is a great bang for buck and are a lot of fun, girls like them, but man it’s the same as comparing your iPhone to an IBM desktop at the time and saying the IBM desktop sucks because it costed more and can’t hang with the iPhone in performance, of course it can’t, you are compared modern and outdated technology, of course modern is better. If they used a stock 93 mustang in this video it would have been destroyed by every car on the list, yet your 2015 gt prevails. Why? Because modernization

Absolutely.
I agree completely with this assessment. My 1994 25th Anniversary Trans-Am was a bad beast in 1996 (when I got her). Now, she would have trouble keeping up with a V6 anything. I love my 2012 SS Camaro and my new (too me) 2017 yellow and black Dodge Challenger RT+P that's pushing 440hp@425 ft. lb of torque because I wasn't having that 375 hp nonsense. I'm in love with this golden age of America performance we have been living in. It's like the limits haven't just been passed they've been destroyed.
I remember when the C5 Zo6 Corvette was first announced at 400 hp and people gasped. That's just too fast they said...I wonder what they think of the C6/C7's, Hellcat Redeye's, or Hell the Ford Coyote engines? 400 hp sounds like a daily driver.
To this day I still think my 300zx turbo is an amazing car
Olivier Bertrand because IT IS!!!
You should!
Fuck yea still is bro!!😎 👍
Hell yea
@@joshhall2323 ??
I bought the ‘93 RX-7 ‘cause I couldn’t quite afford to pay cash for the Supra. Once I bridge ported it and went to a single ball bearing turbo, it was very competitive with every Supra encountered. Even stock it out handled everything else I raced in Tampa during the mid 90s. I loved that car and should never have traded it.
This formed my love of cars. Watched since the first episode when I was a kid. Still stop what I'm doing to watch on Sundays.
Thanks for posting the video, fun to watch
The golden era for Japanese cars. A subtle nuclear-arms race.
This model Z car is my all-time favorite car.
Back when cars were turbocharged for performance.
I drove RX-7 in 1996 and it was a 1994 I think same as this either way. I was so surprised when the redline and fuel cut off were so high that as I left a stop sign turning right on to a 55mph st route I opened it up half way around the corner from an easy takeoff. It swung the ass to the left and stayed there, I shifted at 7k. It was linear power. It even had that low end torque I didn’t think it would have to step the ass out at that low speed and rpm. Pretty cool car.
Thanks for making this video available. I use to watch this show when I was a teenager dreaming of these cars!!!
I miss TTOP cars
I miss popups.
Until they start leaking like the firebirds, ta and Camaro
T tops and a mullet I missed that
You've clearly never owned one. PITA. ;) It's all about a moonroof - everything you need, but shaded and mostly automated.
@@danieldeaseweitzelwalker I've had a couple. The benefits outweigh the inconveniences for me bub
fast forward to 2019 a bmw supra a mid engine corvette and the others are in the grave
have you forgotten about the Z? (though it's a bit overpriced)
And on the bright side the US finally got the Type R
But the mid engine corvette is still a corvette
Great point!
Toyota A90 Mark5 STOCK, is better than the A80 Toyota Supra Mark4 STOCK.
Cool video.. ive had my 93 twin turbo stealth for 13 years.. still has under a 100k miles on it.. love that car...
RX7 FD is the most beautiful and one of the best handling cars ever made. It still makes my heart beat fast when I see one. You have to love every single one of these cars, though. So much win in this video, so much.
Its amazing the impression left from the Supra, everyone is talking about it on these comments. My heart goes to the Stealth. I had a R/T stealth in highschool, I was lucky enough to save up money and buy a used one.
I had a 93 VR4 for 5 years, you sit so low in those cars, it feels more of a supercar then an FD or Mk4, they are fast, barley push in corners, just hard to repair, complex, tour mode suspension was ok, sport mode was bloody firm, huge brakes (like the other cars) a great time in the world for cars
Maxwell Castro Those cars were boats that's why they were never popular.
Kingsoupturbo I agree I think that they are all supercars.
V-Way it was also faster than the others in a straight line depsite its weight, look it up. It was the only one to hit 60 in under 5 seconds and runs low to mid 13s stock. I own a 96 vr4, stock, i ran a 13.3@105mph. I also owned a stock 93 300zx tt, the vr4 stomped it from a dig and a roll.
Wow the Supra thrashed all of those 0-60 times. Bravo.
Nick DiNunzio And as we all now know.. It's engine wasn't even beginning to break a sweat while doing so!! Supra was such an underrated monster.
Nick DiNunzio 5.0 seconds to 5.4 and 5.3 is hardly " Thrashing" as you say.....lol
+tom11zz884 Also motortrend clocked a stock supra to 60 in 4.6 seconds. So yea STFU
Jayden Jones
Yeah. And the ZR1 also cost a lot more....
Jayden Jones
Yeah, the ZR1 cost DOUBLE what a standard Covette cost.. In an apples to apples comparison, Supra and Vette at similar price points, the Vette got stomped.
And lets not even get started on what would happen if you put the price difference it would take to step up to a ZR1 into mods for the Supra!
All these legends in one video.
If you had to buy and hold one from this bunch, it would be the Supra Turbo hands down!! Going for $60,000 plus as of 2019! Thanks Fast and Furious:-)
Bring back the supra and put twin turbos back on the Z and we're all good.
SVT MATT and while you're at it, keep the prices where they were in 1994... Pretty please
Well you got what you wanted lol but it was probably better to just let the Supra die off instead of BMW making ut
It*
Buy a GT-R if you want turbos.
Supra is back now what
The moment Motorweek doesn't have John is the moment the series dies in my mind
The Rx7 over here still being one of the most beautiful cars ever created.
RX-7, Supra, and MR2 Turbo, the best 3 JP sports cars all time.
NSX?
Supra wins hands down IMO!
Actually the Z beat them all watch?v=9oJHwyFoenc
Supra fanboy so much.
I was naively expecting for Best Motoring like comparison but nah.
the stealth is not only much more technologically advanced but cheaper and had a faster top speed than the supra. just look at the numbers the stealth outsold them all
I had a 94 Supra turbo. It was an amazing car back then.
The beauty of throwbacks. You either hate the things in them or love them. The content makes you feel like you're in a time machine. +Nostalgia points. And you really can't talk crap because why bother complaining about something that happened decades ago.
The memories. I used to watch this show regularly as a teenager and had the magazine subscription as well. It's great that the "show" is still going today.
PLEASE do this every week!
We shall continue till we run out. Check out the 84 Rabbit GTI and 93 Callaway Corvette we've already posted.
300z ftw
The motor trend host is the YES MAN of the auto-review industry. He seems like everything without critical thought. As for which Car I'd pick...man toss up between the Supra and the 300ZX.
Nobody’s talking about the Dodge??? The Stealth is so cool... I want one. I see them once in a while, amazing to look at! Can’t help myself but take a walk around one when I see one.
One pretty close to me in blue. Still gets my attention when I roll by.
300zx twin turbo is my choice.
Came here for all the 12 year olds screaming "SuPrA iS tHe BeSt CaR yOu DoNt KnOw WhAt YoUr TaLkInG aBoUt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1"

Supra still an amazing car today
The Dodge Stealth was my favorite sports car of the mid-90s. I still think it looks good today, but I think the Mazda rx-7 gives it a run for it's money.
Mike N my 1991 stealth was junk . First the engine ($6000) then the transmission ($5000) . It was a lemon 🍋
When you say Dodge Stealth, what you actually mean is Mitsubishi GTO with a Dodge badge stuck on.
If only I could travel back in time with the money I have now, to when I was a young man and these were new! Back then, I didn't have 2 nickels to rub together 😅and these may as well have been $500K instead of $40K. Thanks for the video!
The RX-7 is so damn pretty. They could sell a car with the exact same body today, all they'd have to do is update the headlights because flip-ups are no longer legal.
Love the supra and 300zx, I wish I was a teenager back then
43.000 Dollars for a Toyota in 1993,no wonder it was a failure...
You get what you pay for
@@cobrasvt3866 That's why nobody bought it
used to watch these videos as a kid w/ my dad, brings back great memories
I was a Valet at a 5 star hotel which was built into the side of a ski mountain when I was in highschool until I graduated college (1996-2004).. I drove all these cars and they were all a blast to drive the 1/3 mile from a hidden parking lot up a strait away into two S turns. The best thing was that nobody could see you until you rounded the last corner at the top of the hill and pulled up to the front of the Hotel. It was an amazing job and I can remember driving each and every one of these cars. But to tell the truth, out of all of them, the real beast and ultimate drivers car was the 3000GT VR4. With it's twin Turbo V6, Awd, and 4 wheel steering, that car would stick to the road, pin you to the seats and just outshine everything else. The Supra's, RX7's, Vette's and Porsche's were a blast but as soon as you got into the power band, the back end would kick out and unless you wanted to drift, you had to let off the gas. The Bishi was something that made it's animal powerplant useable in all conditions and on all roads. We had an owner who had a red one with tan interior and every Valet called it the king. the consensus was that it was the best of all the sport cars we got to drive. I'd say that the only thing that rivaled it was this one crazy guy's early 90's caged 911 Turbo which was TUNED beyond belief ( He once told us that the titanium exhaust cost him $30,000! ) When looking at it with it's wide body kit and it's 305 rear tires, you knew to be careful with it. The one time I got on it up the strait away, I broke both rear tires free on hot dry pavement and as I let off the gas and glanced at the gauges, the speedo needle was dropping quickly past 150 mph as I was still spinning.. and I that was in third gear! Later that day, the Hotel manager had a meeting with all of us asking who left 50 yards of THICK rubber on the hill lol. I piped up and said that I heard a loud rev earlier in the day and then the white Porsche pulled up to be parked. "It had to be that guy" I said, Haha! He bought it and nobody got in trouble.. BUT! The next day, as the owner brought the car in to get parked, he said to my buddy, "I told you guys to be careful with this thing. It looks like somebody got into boost on the hill! I have friends with Vipers, Lambo's and Ferrari's and they wont drive with me in this because it scares them." 100% I believed him! Ahh the good old days :)
Anyone watching in 2019???
Me 2020
Watching in 2020. Those cars still look incredible. Well except for the Dodge...lol.
What a collection! Those power figures and 0-60 time are still impressive. Oh to go back in time and buy a Turbo Supra...
Spoiled for choice but I’d still take the 3rd gen rx7 turbo over the rest.
Thank you for sharing!
This is more or less the collection of my favourite cars from my favourite era...the 90s. Throw in the NSX, 3000GT and the SVX and you got my dream 90s garage.
Every car so different and unique in terms of exterior/interior design, technological solutions, RWD, AWD, all wheel steering, unique engines, pop-up headlights, T-tops,... They are unlike anything you see on the road today. In fact most modern cars look quite boring in comparison.
👍👍👍
The 300ZX was as fast as today's 370Z!! What are you doing Nissan!?
Simple, they took out a pair of turbos. The New 370Z would be as faster if it had the same twin turbo setup. I gave up wondering why they never added the turbos.....
Well, they did bring the Skyline to America.. I know, different category, but still. Twin turbo 6 cylinder nonetheless
At least they made the 300zx look better, in my opinion.
Same goes to Supra. Meanwhile GT-R and NSX took a new level and RX-7 degraded themselves with RX-8.
Do you have a brain bro?
Ahh, good ol 1993. My favorite year of ALL TIME for cars and movies.
Also, what a WEAK launch @ 7:32. If they launched the Stealth like the Corvette @ 8:39, the Stealth would have gotten ~5 second 0-60. You have to do a fast slip of the clutch which will cause front tires to chirp a little, more difficult to do properly with AWD vs. RWD though.
My '91 Eagle Talon TsiAWD was difficult to launch properly but when I did, it would take off.
Right. The vr4 has a much better 0-60
I love the corvette, but the Stealth is the one to have in this bunch!
These cars are remarkable for their age. God I love these old MotorWeek car reviews.
Supra or Rx-7 hmmm would have been at tough one
Man, the Supra is a great car but that RX 7 is a dream. My humble opininon, the most beautiful car ever made...
Miss my 300zx. A little crazy in corners i remember
still faster than GTRs
Not quite, the Skyline GTS and GTRs all using the same chassis as the Altima and Maxima, the Z has its own chassis
Dont worry about it
Awesome! Keep the throwbacks coming!
This was great guys! It would be between the Supra and the RX-7 for me.
RX-7 and Supra 😍😍😍
The Supra was way ahead of all of these cars, only the RX7 came close. Both have styling that is timeless and the Supra's 2jz went on to be one of the most iconic and legendary engine platforms
Those are the only two I'd care for at all in this list, the styling of the rest just doesn't work at all for me.
and what killed the rotary was the lack of education/training to sales staff, mechanics, and the consumer; and a few cut corners on reliability parts.
The only thing I couldn't get used to on the Supra was the headlights. Love the rest of the styling but something about those huge rounded things threw the look off completely for me.
The supra and rx 7 did not make it to the highly respected Car and Driver top ten list six years in row like the z32 tt did from 1990 to 96. It also had the best accelration in this test. Its styling has aged better than the flabby supra and the others here.i am pretty sure it outsold them too.
@@jayman7037 agreed. Z32 tfw!
@@kuromurasaki5273 What killed this particular rotary were failed apex seals at 60k and an engine bay hotter than the sun. I would love to own one (that worked properly and you could buy parts for) but it's the year 2020 so that's not a very realistic option.
give this man a raise
honestly thank you
For some reason I thought they were going to line the cars all up on a runway and do a drag race test haha
