    • @datsoon9236
      @datsoon9236 4 роки тому

      I personally don't mind that much, but the reason is because it makes the car heavier and longer, therefor the handling is worse. Also, the seats in the back have pretty much no leg room, so they basically have no purpose and it makes you wonder why they are even there...

      The problem with building a Supra is the high cost to acquire them, unless you mean a MK2 or 3. A nice JDM MK3 would be gorgeous. I bought an MK3 about 2 weeks ago, needs work but wanted to get one before the prices started rising.

      The Z's in Japan came with a 4 cylinder motor & the inline 6 was actually their truck motor that was used only for the U.S. production of the Z's. Nissan corporate did not want the Z to succeed in America & repeatedly tried to sabotage it. Look up the history of the datsun 240z in america and see all the bullshit Mr. Z went through to bring that car to the states. (I've owned 4 Z's)
