For some reason, I hate the false assumption that a "Supra" has to be always a "Mark Four"...

Ah.

Yes.

Obviously.

Honestly, I don't suck this much at math in real life.

When I say "for some reason," it means I can't quite pinpoint it.

I would venture that, when you say "for some reason," it is equivalent to "because you own a Mark Three."

For example:

Yep. Six cylinder Celica.


BTW, the new Scion BRZ thingie should have been called Toyota Celica instead of random letters with no real interest value or historical context.

This is my buddy's car. It makes WHP in the four digits and has run over 200 MPH in the standing mile.








It's still a Mark Three.

When I was in grade school, my best friend's older brother drove a black Celica Supra. Then for his 18th birthday his parents bought him a used Firebird and he sold the Supra.

there are some ********* on FB talking about supercharging a car (centrifugally) and why it's so much better than a turbocharging because it won't have lag. this **** is making my head hurt and I really want to drop a knowledge bomb on their domes.
