looking at an NA one due to laws here in melbourne, was just wondering if its worth spending the extra for a series II with the 6spd box and VVT or just go a 5spd non VVT? thought i would ask some owners first hand welcome to all feedback!
thanks in advance
Honestly, it's only worth it if you get a TT. The n/a has the driveline of a Lexus SC300. Not absolutely useless, but nothing like the 'supercar'-like driveline you get in a TT. If what you really want is a Supra with superior performance, find a way to work through the Melbourne laws to get a TT. If all you want is looks with suboptimal performance, then feel free to get an n/a Supra or an Acura NSX...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
