MkIV's make the front page of Grassroots Motorsports magazine ...hope it's not a repost or the repo po man will come get me

 

[SupraTuRD]

Awesome magazine... i better run out to my mailbox to see if mine is here.

I thought cars could only make that magazine if they cost less than the current year!

In all seriousness, I'm refering to their annual "$200x challenge". That is a cool magazine, and I assume the article was pretty good for those of you who read it? I'll be sure to pick this one up, and thanks for the heads up.

Shit man. And I got my free issue last month with the Viper on the cover. When does this mail out? Will there be a reprint in Classic Motorsports?

 

[mifesto]

actually i read the guide, tells u nutin more then wat u learn from this and mkiv.com

 

[Nick 95 6sp]

I'm sure you're right, mifesto. I didn't mean it would be useful to anyone who already knows much about a Supra, I didn't even read it yet and I expect there to be some "dumb" stuff in there. But I thought it's interesting enough to mention it anyway.

That is my favorite mag. I wonder where mine is. It speaks to what I am mostly interested or involved in. It is truly for the "grassroots" guy.

...... But I thought it's interesting enough to mention it anyway.

That is interesting - most mags only cover recent stuff and only a few mention 9-13 year-old cars!
Now I wonder where my copy is??

 

[nils]

only mag I have a subsciption to....

 

[rcsupra]

I just filled out the form to get a free trial issue just for this. I hear its an awesome magazine and I plan to get a subscription

 

[Nick 95 6sp]

In case you plan to track your Supra anyway, joining NASA includes a subscription to this mag ...like some of you already said, it's also my favorite mag so much so that instead of "subscription" they should call it a "prescription" ...helps cure what ails me

- AGREE! - Best Mag Ever!

 

[mr2jzgte]

Damn it hasn't made it to the local Barnes & Noble Bookstore down here. How long is the article?

 

[prsrcokr]

Man Nick, you beat me to this one I didn't get mine until Sat. Pretty cool to see that on the cover of a mag that usually features Hondas, Miatas or 200x challengers. Now if only I could find a good moderately priced mk4 to use for some auto-x/track days.....I think it'd be much more competitive than my mk3 but either is a lot of fun.

 

[Nick 95 6sp]

I don't have the issue with me now, but I remember one "big" mistake jumping out at me ...but now I just can't remember what it was about. Maybe '96 only avail w/6sp? Not sure. I'll look it up unless somebody comes up with it before tonight. Otherwise, I thought it was fair and accurate.

 

[flash_e_gt]

read it last night - good article, nothing new for anyone that is seriously contemplating buying an MKIV but fun non-the-less. A few months ago they did a similar MR2 MKII & Viper Article. Both were damn good.

 

[Nick 95 6sp]

They said something like ...if you don't have the bucks for a TT, go for the NA with a 6sp since that was one of our favorite cars anyway... or something to that effect. I'm thinking factory NA 6sp's are very rare


Btw, anybody know whose silver Supra is in the one pic, looks like it's driving in an HPDE with an instructor onboard? Lar, that's not you is it?

 

[prsrcokr]

They did say STU class will place you against 350Z's, I beleive thats incorrect due to their not having a rear seat (not STU eligible)

That looks like my car, but I don't normally drive with the radio on!! Can't place the tracks either - I've only been to Road Atlanta and Barber since I got the FMIC and didn't have an instructor at Barber.
Besides, it's hard to get a pic of me on the track - most of the shutter speeds are too slow............

 

[Rolla97]

Good article, but I remember it saying something along the lines of the 6-speed only being able to hold 700HP? I understand wanting to be conservative, but that is way off.
