Default Should I buy a Non Turbo Toyota Supra?

Im saving up to get my first car and I have always been a Supra fan. Should I buy a Non Turbo Supra. And are they pretty fast? Im not gonna race or anything like that. Im just wondering if buying a non turbo supra is worth it. Thanks.

Not if u r looking to turbo it. Yes the NA's r still pretty fast and more reliable then the twin turbos. But if ur going to get a na to turn it in to a twinturbo then u should just buy a Tt. Cost to make a na into a tt is more then the retail price of a tt

I don't want to put a turbo in it. If anything just put an exhaust and a CAI in it. Any other suggestions?

No, they're slow and not worth it.

Fast? Faster than what? A Civic? A mini-van? How on earth could you call a 16+ second quarter mile "fast"?

Also, the TT reliability is no worse than the n/a, as long as the TT has not been modified

I say don't go for it unless all you want to do is drive slow and turn heads (because you can only try to pretend you have a fast car with it)
