Re: Few questions for the Supra converts

If you have never had a Supra and are thinking of getting a Viper then I suggest going straight to the Viper. Like Peter said there are some "shortcomings" to the Viper once you get used to the Lexus-like quality and refinement of the Supra, this is one reason I knew I would have to own both at the same time to be truly happy.

As far as engine sounds, I like the way my Viper sounds but Supras sound better (no it doesn't sound like a the typical ricer 4banger). Frankly exhaust sound is not one of the Viper's strength, especially when the cats are removed, the sound is too "blatty".

Bottom line? The Viper IS a badass machine and you will be happy with it, same applies to the Supra.

BTW Peter, I got you beat, I have had 13 Supras

Also, I know this is a really noob ass question but what improvements were made between 1999 and 2000 on the GTS? I'd really rather go 1999 GTS and have the forged pistons and stronger motor overall, but I was wondering what changes were made to the rest of the car.

Thanks guys.
