Supra or Type R

[WHITE-ITR]

Whats a better buy for a first car. A supra or an Integra Type R. Which is a better car overall.

[stevieo]

first car?

how about you don't buy either so you don't wrap those nice cars around a pole, tree, another car.

[JAYMEZ]

Ummm , apples to oranges , what are you looking to spend , and what years?

[EK 2.0]

what the...all the two cars have in common is a high spoiler...

how do you compare the two??

this is a classic case of being a 1. product of soceity and 2. being a slave to the label:dunno:

everyones first car should be a 85 hp wagon, and or sedan

[ga16i]

Given that it's your first car and the choices are Supra and Type R.... and you probably also want to drive this car in the winter... you better stick to the Type R and save the RWD for the big boys :D

mine was a 120BHP 86 Accord Ex-I :thumbsup:

[trikypenguin]

start off with a basic integra, especially since its your first car

[ashee]

93 Supra!

Chevette.

[gen2teggy]

bus, would save u alot of money

[k98303]

import a supra and own these guys :D































jk. basic interga would be gd. type R is hard to find

[tsi_neal]

wow... my first car was a $1400 beater. it treated me well and tought me a lot. I really think these kids that have a 15,000+ car handed to them miss out on the joys of financial responsibility...

[WHITE-ITR]

Its not handed too me. And I agree with you that you dont respect things when they are given to you as much when you buy it yourself. There are tons of jobs in Calgary that are paying good and if you are smart and know how to save then you can get a nice car for yourself.

[kdwebber]

If I had to choose between those two cars I would have to go with the supra hands down. Turbo and RWD will be a lot more fun than the teg.

[JAYMEZ]

I think you need to compare two different cars. ITR and Supra arent even close to each other...

Whats ur budget.

[nismodrifter]

it ain't a tight car if ain't a TYPE R

[blue Zed]

Your first car should be a propane fueled ford LTD 10$ to fill last you for 2 weeks.





j/k that was my first car.

[4doorj]

if its your first car....hmmmmmm... type r maybe
but i like the supra!
either way both cars are nice!
supra would be a crazy first car to have!!! props to u if you got one for your first car:bigpimp:
if your getting the supra... i think you would want a second car for winter..... you could probably drive it in winter but it would be incredibly hard im guessing... never drivin one before:(

[*prettyboy*]

Type r all the way !

I miss my 85 plymouth caravan..... no back seats, no carpet but I had power locks, power windows and no matter the condition, it always started.

oh yeah....I would not recommend either for a first car... but if you had to...
MK IV > Type R
MK III < Type R
but thats just me.

[thesmackdown]

It's ok when gas hits $2.00 per litre most of the people wont be able to afford to drive let alone go outside their house :)

[SilverBoost]

My first car was an 81 pontiac parisienne .... shit I was drifting before they had a name for it. Of course back then it as just called loosing control and making a great save. ;)

[Sprinter]

Supra FTW :drool:

[jcrules99]

man, my first car was an auto 1990 accord

i say go with type r, supra would be scary as a first car...

[bodaciousbob]

Ok.

1st question "what is a better buy, supra or type R"?



2nd question "which is a better car overall"?


Well, Honda's are usually reliable as all hell. Supra's are reliable as all hell too.

Define "Better" so we know how to answer this vauge question that you have asked.

Integra - FWD
Supra - RWD

Both are sports cars, and the previous owners have probably flogged the car on the street/track.

Both have a shitty rear seats, and both would be hell to drive in winter (specifically the Supra).

Pick your poison, but as Stevieo said, don't buy either of those so you don't wrap them around a pole.

It's not smart to buy a high horsepowered vehicle as your first vehicle.

I've owned quite a few high(er) HP vehicles, and I currently own a 90HP 1985 Corolla. With the suspension and diff, it's teaching me more about driving than any of the other cars I've owned (FWD, RWD, etc). To hone your skills, buy a LOW HP car, and learn to drive it fast. If you're a shitty driver, you're still going to be slow in a fast car. If you're a great driver, you're going to be damn fast in a slow car.

[core_upt]

two as stated two very different cars.

Which ever way you go, it'll be tough to move onto other cars and still get the same satisfaction/exhileration from driving.

by the sounds of this you are just a kid dreaming. if you can manage to save that much you should do yourself a favor and buy a normal integra at the most. start small :werd:

just make sure when you race the 1120 you remember to double clutch and not granny shift.:thumbsup:

Yup yup, next time people hit up the drag strip, they should try double clutching and see if that improves their ET :thumbsup:

[frostyda9]

5280 / 4 = 1320.

Get the Supra, we need to save all the ITR's we can

[doublepostwhore]

But your user name is white-ITR dont you already have an ITR?

usually i just step on the clutch shitf gears and let go of the clutch.

[doublepostwhore]

I used to be :dunno:
I was impatient and had ALOT of doubleposts, and used to answer every thread.

Now I barely answer any threads at all.

well double clutching is when your shifting, put it in neutral let go of the clutch, push it back in and shift to your desired gear.

but you should be looking else where, because both the itr and the supra will cost you a penny or 2. Unless you pick up a 87+ supra, anything over 92 (not to sure on the year) will cost you your wallet

[sh0ko]

by the sounds of this you are just a kid dreaming. if you can manage to save that much you should do yourself a favor and buy a normal integra at the most. start small :werd:

:werd: x2

haha start off with a van then to a 92 civic then to a ford stationwagon for a week! hahaha =) its fun that way...:banghead:

[sh0ko]

and someone plz correct me if im wrong.. dont supras and integras have extermely different costs..from what ive seen supras are like 30k +!!!! wow but i really dunno someone care to educate me?!

[Milk2%]

supras...well in the states you can pick one up for 25,000 ish.... but i have seen some in canada go for a little over 50K integras are below 20k but of course your going to want to go faster and its going to take that much more money. Get a van because i would rather see you smash that peice van then a supra/integra.

[canadianskyline]

How bout you get a JDM Supra Twin Turbo R.....close enough to type R......:rofl:

[frostyda9]

Nice, well cared for ITR's are still in the $20k+ range from what I've seen...

I could see 50, but 70 is over the top, unless it has 8000 original miles on it. :nut:

if you get a type r. you will have bad dreams.if you get a supra. in winter you will die. :Dgood luck.

[frostyda9]

By "nice" I was meaning excellent condition, low mileage stock cars. Most of those are heavily modded, save for the second one which only has 19,000 miles and is priced accordingly high. You could buy a $100k, non Type R Integra showcar if you wanted to, but that doesn't really have any bearing on what the average stock one is worth.

[bodaciousbob]

There are other kinds of Supra's too, rather than JUST the MK IV.

Get a smart car

my mark 3 which i currently own is my first car. makr 3 supras are fun but dont buy one if you are gonna be stupid. get a teg cause of your username i guess.

Oh and double clutching is useless on modern cars, you only use it when you have an old gearbox with no synchros.

And Jaymez knows his shit about supras. On supraforums well cared, lowmiles go for 80k+ easily.

And i do agree, the mark 4 overshadows his older brothers... Its a shame really because mark 3's get no respect as seen in the chart explaining
Mark 4>ITR
Mark 3<ITR
Well who cares, my mark 3 is gonna be viper hunting soon when its running again :D

I don't doubt that he does. This is what I'm talking about though:

1994 TOYOTA SUPRA, 62,000 km, mint, loaded. 6spd. Silver w/Dark Blue leather. Single turbo, intake, exhaust & electronics all upgraded + extras. Newer tires. TOO much to list! Never raced. Serious inquiries only, $45,000.

yeha but its modified to only a cetrtian extent... Full original ones and 1000hp range ones go for that price range.
