pros and cons

[SAV_117]

hey fellas im just trying to come up with the pros and cons of both a Toyota Supra around a 93 model NA and a VT or VX calais. personally i dont know enough about either so i was just wondering if someone could give me a hand thanks

[nemesis_adrasteia]

commodores going to be bigger, 4 doors calais will have all the nice features. are you looking at a V8 or V6?

also i think that the calais from vt onward only had the super charged 6 not NA, could be wrong tho

[CANYONERO]

like i said to you on facebookchat daniel, if you sit to pee...... get the supra

The VT, VX and VY calais had the option of either the V8, Supercharged 6 or standard Ecotec 6 Cyl.

I don't know much about Supra's I would say the cost of parts will be much cheaper for the Calais. Also parts for Holden are always readily available at any auto parts store or wreckers. You might have some trouble sourcing parts for what was essentially an import.

[SAV_117]

nah my mate has an na vt calais

lol and i know will lol

[DARK SIDE]

the difference is, people that drive the supra are compensating for something lol

Think about how much it will cost you in the future. Parts for a Supra are "exotic" and expensive. Commodore parts are cheap and plentiful, and much easier to work on yourself.

[Philthy]

Well what do you want the car for?

The supra is a light, 2 door import. It will probably be more fun to drive (not knowing a lot about them), but as has been said parts will be more expensive, the car itself will probably be more expensive, the calais will probably have more features, space etc.

Supra vs Calais is pretty much chalk and cheese

[MikesCalais]

Calais. Pro - sexy. Pro - all the bits and bobs you could ever want/need/use as standard. Pro - luxury. Pro - ALLLL CLASSS

Supra. con - its a supra... :| also a much older (6 years odd) car with alot less features

[MikesCalais]

ahh yes. chalk vs cheese... good annalogy... which would you rather eat? the supra being the chalk, and the calais being the cheese. the choice is clear

[SAV_117]

hahah mmm cheese its looking calais i reackon

oh god ive been living a lie

[nemesis_adrasteia]

what are YOU looking for in a car? i think both cars would be nice to drive, but it depends what you like, for example general cruising day to day stuff the calais is going to be more practical and IMO more comfortable having driven a commodore for the vast majority of my driving time then getting into my mates fully sick turbo import its nice but kinda squishy no head room so if your tall you might have problems supras probably differnt my mate has some calibra thing. enough of my rambling.

oh oh also supra will have lots more bolt on go fast parts

[al_hen]

As most people have already said, the calais is more spacious and comfortable but thats about all its got going for it. A supra will handle better, looks better, every other **** doesnt own one, they have a better/ stronger engine.
A commodore handles like a ***in boat and is slow (v6).

[SAV_117]

see my problem is i want the space but i want the handeling as well

[S2_VR_]

lol you cant ask this question and get serious answers on a commodore website... hahaha

go for a VX!! Calais.... much nicer looking IMO.. (mainly just the rear garnish)lol
get it converted to 5 speed if it's a V6, or 6 Speed if it's an 8...... (*runs out door with wallet)..lol... good luck, just DONT buy the supra....lol

no way .mcomodore doesnt handle like a boat... maybe compared to the supra... but you wack some bigger sway bars in, Lowered HD suspension, and all new bushes in the front and rear end, wack some wider wheels on.... and it'll stick to the road like shit to a blanket...

There are masses of economical upgrades to almost every area of teh VT/VX. You can make them go, stop, turn, jump, sit up and beg and if you like, look good.

The Supra probably looks better, but the upgrades are fewer, and more expensive.

I think I would go for the commodore, simply because I can make it do what I want, and not have to bolt together what is available to make something that is only close to what I want.

Can none of you fags read? He said the supra is NA. It would be a slow heap of shit. I dont who said that Toyota engines are more reliable than holden. I dont see to many Supras with 330,000km's going down the quater mile pulling constant low 14's near stock. I dont think i have seen any import with over 200,000ks on it. Most of them blow up and then get sent to the scrap heap or sold to the most recent fag who saw fast and the furious tokoyo drift and wants to race paul walker some day. Another engine is most likly dropped in and the clock rolled back. I mean cmon, How many cars can be from 1980 and still have 70,000 GENUINE k's on the clock. Esp some ****ing skyline that is going on "cruises" every day.

The VX would be the best option as parts are cheap, most performance places, more support here etc. If you were over in Japan and 4'5" i would say go the supra for the same reasons.

compairing two diffrent class cars here

a family sedan with features
a sports coupe

booth have pros and cons, but you need to think what you want Daniel

a car that 4 pissed mate can jump in and play with power windows
or a car one mate can join you on a drive, which will will be more refined and smooth

as for performance, the supra if 2jz is the apple on the table here i say
it may not be a v8 ls1 5.7 chev pontic and is half the capacity almost

but this would be the best straight 6 in the world, the refinement in it far over looks the ls1 and the potential is crazy

that post above should be surrounded in a black boarder and put in a fail thread

obviously you have not though about the vl much
they are a import motor, most vl odo's these days are over the 200,000km mark
go figger

[pedrotski]
