Fast & Furious: Toyota Supra Mark IV in N. Austin

Written by Ken Altes

Frightening to think what this Toyota Supra can do. I was not able to find any others with these widened and vented fenders.  Maybe at this garage to get the front fixed. Stock, this car used a DOHC 3 liter straight six with sequential turbochargers making 321 hp that propelled it to 177 mph and 0-60 in 4.6 seconds.  That’s stock. It is an under-appreciated super car built from 1993 to 2002.  Very impressive car.  Here is another Supra I found at Custom Car Crafters last year.Modified Toyota Supra in Austin Texas Modified Toyota Supra in Austin TX Modified Toyota Supra with large wing in Austin TX

This BMW Z3 Roadster is cute but I prefer the coupe. First ones had weak four cylinder engines but later sixes were pretty hot. Made from 1995 to 2002.BMW Z3 Roadster Austin TexasBMW Z3 Roadster Austin Texas frontBMW Z3 Roadster Austin TX

Mazda RX-7 in Pflugerville

The third generation of the RX-7 FD, available from 1991 to 2002. is a very capable sports car, superior handling resulting in part from its light Wankle twin rotary engine located just behind the front axle, making this a mid-engined car. Could get, for the first time, sequential twin turbocharged system where one turbo ran at low RPM, and the second one came in at about 4800 RPM, delivering smooth power in a light car. Very desirable.

Great looking cars, built from 1989 to 2000.  Most had 222 hp V6, but a few had double turbo making 300 hp.
