People please help me reasure myself that i didnt make a wrong decision by getting the SS/TC instead of the Supra single turbo. I mean i LOVE the SS/TC but theres always that though in the back of my head saying, you could have bought the supra for cheaper and its faster stock... i just wanna kick myself. but i really just wanted a bran new car so that i didnt run into issues like i did with my other used cars... wiring all messed up, front end damage that i had to get fixed cuz it was considered "unsafe to drive"... and theres others. so please please please help me reasure myself!

 

Well, at least you have peace of mind with the Cobalt.
And from what I understand, well kept Supra's are not only very hard to come by, but when you DO find one, they arent that cheap.

And unless you plan on making a Monster, I would say you made the right choice.
Particularly if this car is a daily driver.

 

supra probbly has been driven the living **** out of....

 

What year supra

 

you can make around 300 hp with just a tune on your car, if that helps at all lol

 

Unless you have a mechanical background, I think you made the better choice. I love supras as much as the next guy, but I like the warranty as well with new cars.

 

yea it is a daily driver. and it has to go thru snow too... even tho id rather it not. lmao! but yeah i found a 95 white one single turbo for $14,000. and i almost went to get it. but decided on the Cobalt instead.

 

your balt has warranty, powerful, piece of mind, its a sleeper, more refined, if something breaks GM will fix it (hopefully), and parts wont be hard to find or expensive.

keep your lnf, when u reach your midlife crisis, then go get the supra.

my 2 cents

 

im pretty sure it was a 95.

yeah it looked nice, it had like 400+ horse on it, but also had like 120,000 miles...

lmao!!! thats a great idea! but i think when i hit midlife crisis im goin for a Vette. lol!!

Yeah thats true!!! and theyre almost getting 400 with the synapse kit too... thats not far off from the supra. and the TC hasnt even been out for a year. hopefully it will get alot more aftermarket support, and then ill feel alot better about not getting the supra!

 

Mistake. Cobalts are cookie cutter cars (yes, even your allmighty SC's and TC's) and seem to be put together by a 2 year old on drugs. That Supra is probably more reliable than the Cobalt even with 120,000 miles, oh and it's RWD

 

lmao!!! thats a great idea! but i think when i hit midlife crisis im goin for a Vette. lol!!


yeah me 2, my midlife will be a supercharged z06.

i think you made a wise decision bro...

 

haha!! thanks man!! well hey maybe when were old and have nothing to look forward to but the next bowl movement we can cruise around in our vettes 2gether. hahaha!!! lmfao!

 

just gotta worry about wearing the rear brakes out with no replacements. ss/tc fail.

 

they dont have replacements 4 them??

 

Definitely should have gone with the supra.. MKIV Supras around me go for $30,000 with 140,000+ miles. Unmolested ones are $45,000+

 

nope. lulz

 

KBB for that year with most options and excellent condition is 19-20k. They were asking 14k? Musta been a black friday deal. But seriously, somethings not right with it. A modded car with 120,000 miles and cheap? I think you saved yourself a MAJOR headache. Those cars have their own religion. If someone wants to part cheap and you think you just passed on a deal. . well I'm here to help you.

Must sell buying house! = I just blew another head gasket and I think I might have done a bit more damage this time.
Baby on the way= Im on my second tranny and I think this ones about to go.

Selling off ex's car= If we don't get rid of this moneypit, divorce papers will most certainly be in our future.

 

GM might not but other brake companies already have replacements, just need to do a search. I love how your still bashing the same car as your though.

 

OP, your comparing apples to oranges. A bad/good decision depends on what it was you were going for.

If you wanted a good daily driven street "beast" that is still practical. Then yes, you made the right decision. It won't be the fastest car on the road. But it has good modding potential and it's FWD set up and good MPG lend it to practicallity.

If you wanted a good project car, wanted something unique to stand out, wanted to make high horsepower on a car with the potential to do it easily, and an aftermarket to do it...........then you should face-palm yourself because the Supra is as close to an exotic as you'll get for under 30grand. Not to mention the potential of pushing 6-900horsepower with not a whole lot invested.

 

yeah my car deff. had to be a good daily driver. and i really do like the Cobalt. i think once springs rolls back around and i get my tune and exhaust and other crap ill be more @ peace over my choice.

 

Btw you can replace your rear brakes despite what some negative nancy's like to say.

 

Supras are almost all automatic

I pity da foo' that buys an automatic supra

 

Of course they can be replaced, but there have been problems with them being in stock.

 

You'll be happy with the balt. True Supras can be made MUCH faster but these really are fun little cheap cars. You can make 350whp with bolt ons and a tune no problem which is more than enough to beat up on 99% of the stuff on the road. Plus, no one expects a balt to be fast, everyone expects a Supra to be fast.

 

you shoulda got the supa for 14, put a little love in it and sold it for 25
