Rarer than other Japanese cars
Cons:
Quite a few cheap parts used in it
Small interior
Some angles it doesn't look nice
Overall a nice car, should substitute until I can drive an Evo

Re: FTO
fto engines have 147kw and also have 200nm's of torque
3sge engine has 132kw and 186nm's of torque
their both 2l engines so it dosent really matter about how many cylinders are in the engines heaps as the 4cyl engine has bigger cylinders.
taillights may look better in the supra but i much rather the headlights in the fto over the supra.
the honda 4 cylinders Eventually matched the power and torque of the 6a12

Re: FTO
The Supras weigh soooo much, i think they're over 1.6 tonne standard.. not exactly a handling beast.
You can only really compare a FTO to an integgy/civic/lancer performance wise, theyre fantastic against anything heavier....

Re: FTO
Doesnt matter really, when you take the weight into account, FTO wins hands down with any of those figures (non turbo of course).

Re: FTO
Why do people bitch about there car or even wanna have a stupid ass debate that no one will ever win over what car is best?
If you think a supra or a honda is better, great, go fkn buy one.
If your mates give you sh*t about the car you choose, either challenge them to a track day or cop sh*t like the little bitch you are.
FFS, all cars have good and bad points. Have you ever watch Top gear? They give sh*t to cars that cost more than we will earn in 10 years. That's cars for you. Different things appeal to different people. But I know one thing if I didnt like a car, i would sell it FULL STOP.
Now either enjoy your fto for what it is or GTFO and sell it.

Re: FTO
bah ... dont worry man, in the end, you chose the fto for what it is right ? and not a supra/more powerful car for a reason ?
Just appreciate the uniqueness of the car, good or bad, especially the sexyness of the car.

Re: FTO
Ok look at the supra it looks it's age inside and out, now look at the FTO it still looks like they are coming out of the factory. The shape of them keeps with the times.
For a light N/A car they are great.

Re: FTO
we were compairing the 3sge engine with the 6a12 not the cars and the reason the supra is so heavy is cause it has to be that engine is half the weight so they have to even it out some how
I never said I didn't like my fto just like how you put in bigger engines or turbo or change front bumpers spoilers ect u wish things were diff
Gess you have to put it back to stock if u want to like your car as is

Re: FTO
no no, its not like that, its more on, get the best fto(desired specs, options, condition, etc) you can afford to start with, then modding it to make it better and better to your liking..bduffman wrote:

Some people might look like they dont like the fto because for example, they do an engine swap... but keep in mind, they still kept the fto body, now that was done for a reason, and not just pick another car. The engine mod would more likely be perceived to be an upgrade replacement, or a big mod.
hopefully i made sense.

Re: FTO
A few reasons why I didn't get a Supra:
- No tiptronic
- Looks hideous stock
- Engine ages
- Less reliable
- Interior is hideous also
- It's a Toyota
- Feels too fat not tuned up
A few reasons why I didn't get a Skyline:
- Also looks rubbish stock
- Interior isn't as nice also
- Hard to find decent bodykit parts
And that's pretty much the reason I'm sticking with the FTO for now, even if it does have it's flaws
