Best supra YEAR ??

Reliability is irrelevant since they are 95% all the same...mechanically probably more like 99.5% the same

The only appreciable differences are cosmetic and thats way to subjective to give you a valid answer...the only right answer is "whatever one you like"

well i was reading some other forum, and this guy was saying how 86.5-88 supra has the least problems, and 89 was a transitional year and it had a tons of probs.

out of context. that's a completely wrong statement.
there is no "best" year. It's all a matter of preference.
86-early89 supras had a 6M crank, and spun higher from factory
89+ supras had a true 7M and while had a lower rev limit, they were more properly balanced throughout the rpm range.

take that for what you will. It's up to you as to which you prefer. They're all the same basic car.

I have an 87 mk111 turbo and I really do enjoy it, but I would prefer a mk 1V with the 320 hp and 6 speed tranny, but just wishing so long as we are only talking supras.
