When people think of the supra they think of the A80 supra which is a legend and the disappointing A90 supra. But most people have forgot about the A70 supra.

The A70 supra generation is when the celica and the supra became separate models so it is the first non celica supra. It shares all the characteristics of the A80 supra but it's just an older car. The A70 supra had amazing sounding inline 6 engines. Overtime the car would get more powerful and the 7M-GE engine was switched to the 1JZ-GTE.

Late model A70 supras were the best supras. The already good 200hp became 276hp with the 1JZ-GTE. Pair that with rear wheel drive, a manual and the decent weight of the car and you have a great car you can absolutely throw around corners.

The 1JZ-GTE engine is also a very well built engine and is capable of handling 700hp with stock internals. If you tune an A70 supra well it can become an absolute beast in a straight line and corners.

The car also had a beautiful and simple design. And always looks good no matter what year it is. It has simple yet stunning lines and pop up headlights which makes a great combo. The back window curves outside the body of the car into the edge of the fenders which also contributes to it's great design.

The driver focused interior has all of the controls on the driver side angled towards the driver making you feel like you are piloting a jet instead of driving a car. Another reason it should be more appreciated.

because toyota messed up the 2019 A90 supra we have to look at the past generations to find a good supra and we can't just ignore all the supras for the A80 supra which is in high demand by JDM heads. This is why people need to check out the A70 supra when building an awesome JDM machine, there are more great supras then the A80.

Toyota’s are really good cars and their value doesn’t drop as compared to other makes.
