If not the New Supra, then what?

that'd really suck. I'm a Toyota and Mercedes fanboi, but honestly I can;t think of one manufacturer that doesn't have a vehicle I'd happily put in the garage.

As Moto-san put it, the more toys, the better - for all of us.

Yeah we get almost every euro car now. We're the third biggest market for AMG in the world, with a population of 25 million in the country the same size as USA lol

The GT86 was a huge hit here so I seriously doubt we'll miss out on the A90.... but if we do, that'd suck.

The things we miss out on include weird RWD sedans from Japan (but can import due to RHD) and all of the cool USA muscle cars (I'd love a Viper, but they're a $200,000 car once here and converted to RHD). Although apparently we may be getting the C7 corvette now they've killed the rear drive locally made Holden commodore (Chevy SS I think you guys called it?)

Shame you guys didn't get our Ford falcon. You'd have loved it. RWD sedan with 350kW supercharged 8 or 330kW turbo six. Cheap too

Oh.. there are some cool cars in the Aussie land I’d love to sink my teeth into. Why can’t everybody get everything!!! I don’t like politics .. at least when it comes to cars.

I never knew you could convert a Viper to RHD. Don’t even think the dash etc exists. But I’m very grateful it’s available here and I acquired one off the showroom floor. Imagine a slightly larger Miata with a ton more power and a very well balanced power delivery. Extremely well behaved 650hp car. You should drive one.. it’s not a muscle car in any fashion. It’s a proper circuit animal.

Yeah, one of the guys in the Supra club has a yellow second gen. Brought it to one of our meets - we had 30+ JZA80s, A70s, A61 (including a few 1000hp beasts) and everyone wanted to see the Viper. No-one cared about the Supras anymore. He said the Viper can be a pain on the road (our roads are often in crap condition)but was incredible on the track.

He has a dedicated 950whp track supra too. It's still i favourite. Has a pair of Saleen Mustangs as well!

I'd love to drive a Viper. I remember the very first one being unveiled and I loved them since... Especially the new ACR variant

Everything that anyone ever complained about in a Viper was fixed in the GenV variant. Gen2s are not the nicest to drive to be honest. Once you step into a GenV, it’s a sea of difference. Being an all out Supra fanatic, I feel as if the genV was a proper sequel to the MKIV Supra more than the Bimmer version.

I love the Gen V and wish Chrysler didn't kill it

My only real issue with the Viper is the displacement lol

 

[A70TTR]

you need more than 8.4L? You monster...

1 liter per cylinder sounds good to me.

Third gen Vipers are like 996 Turbo P cars.. not too desirable. It’s either a second gen or a fifth gen. Two most desired Viper generations.
