Thinking of getting a MKIII,some Qustions,and how dose it compare to a 300zxturbo?

I bought my 86.5 for 2k and it had very few issues at all. Mostly just cleaning, tuning, tires, stuff like that.

I also owned a 25th anniversary 300ZX Turbo. From memory since I didnt own the cars back to back, I would have to say the Z handled better. More than just being lighter, it felt lighter. But I have aged some since then and I prefer the Toyota ride now. Of course I lowered my Supra, added slotted rotors, and front middle floor and rear Strut bars, so it handles much better now.

The one thing about the Z was it was more prone to engine problems than my toyotas have ever been. Sure the 7M motors blwo head gaskets if you boost em too much or dont take care of em, but my Z was forever having issues. Fuel injector problems, ECU failure, and oil leaks were just some of the issues I had. This could have just been a bad car, or poorly maintained by the previous owner, but I finally had enough of it.

My only other comment is I just think the Supra looks sexier. My anniversary edition looked nice in silver/black/gold, but my plain white Supra still looks better

I have heard that the 300s have massive rust problems, adn the engines are bad too. I dont think the supra handles crappy...it does body roll a lot, buy it is very stable on the highway and through turns, It is hard to get out of shape and its easy to drive for beginners, and like any car in the hands of an expert, well handle its ass off. My supra, with crappy 215 tires out handles my aunts 98 trans am. I can go around a local jug handle at 45-50, she can do it at 40. And thats saying a lot, becuase those trans ams are sticky. The supra did .87Gs out of the box in 1987.
