Was the supra 3l Turbo ?, what was it like to drive, not compared to the four wheel drives, just in its own right?

Heres my List
1. 89 AX 1.1
2. 02 Smart Pulse (Tuned it to 100bhp!) Mad
3. 03 Daihatsu Sirion Rally
4. 00 Saxo VTR
5. 98 Starlet SR (Castrol Rally Decals) Hence User name!
6. 93 Starlet GT (This was a little special! I tuned it and had it mapped and made 238BHP and 198lb ft. Guy who i sold it to tweaked it and had it rolling roaded at 292bhp unsure of torque!)
7. 91 S13 200SX! Drifty!
8. 90 Sierra XR4x4 2.9 V6 (Field Fun)
9. The joys of company cars!
The rolling road was around 10% down on the figures shown! The guy showed me figures to prove that as he also had an direct engine tester aswell!

my very 1st car was a yellow metro with the 6R4 kit.
2nd car was my xr3i, had an accident with a bus
then the cavi gsi 2000, best handling car ive had and spent best part of 2k,
throttle bodies, cams, pullies, fse boost valve, 60mm drop, 17" alloys, body parts etc etc. would get another tomorrow. But never sell to a m8 coz it ended up like this (back arches not finished)
then the bmw 325i, really enjoyed this car, lovely drive.
then prob one of the rarest cars, vectra st200 #0011 only 38 mad by MSD (motorsport developments) engine tuned by swindon race engines, 3l cam, revised ecu, lowered final drive, lsd, 17" speedline alloys, koni ajd suspension, 330mm ap discs with 4 pot ap calipers with braided hoses, lots of carbon fibre, full electric recaro seats.
then the bmw 328i sport i have at the moment.

50 odd cars in 15 years, some of my favourites:
Still own it after 12 years
One of the best cars ever made
Easily one of the best all round cars on the road
Fantastic!
Liked this too
***** magnet!
Bought this after the Top Gear item, regret selling it now
Unusual. But tremendous fun.

Not the biggest list of cars for me I'm afraid!
First car - Escort 1.8 Si... slightly modded lol
Second - BMW 318 Ci coupe, 2.0l manual. Not got many pics of this, only when its **** up or dark Un-modded
And now - Merc C class sport edition slightly modded. Also the only brand new car I've had and I wouldn't have another merc if you paid me! (Unless it was an SL or similar)

The car is the golden oldie, not the (then future) wife
had the RS2000 for 9 years
eventually ended up with this
which I kept for 11 years.
Then I moved onto this
for 5 years before I bought the current one
These are by no means all the cars I've - in 1975 alone I had 9 cars
