dont dis the auto's! even lots of import racing magazines are picking up on the growing trend of automatic / big power / fast 1/4 cars out there nowadays... after '88 most supra's were auto
most draggers use auto trannys becuase they shift a hell of a lot faster than any human can with a 5spd. now for me, its just a matter of finding a tranny that can keep up with boost...
if i could have found a supra in as mint condition as mine when i was lookin' in a 5spd, i would have gotten that for sure, but goddamn. you know how many junker supra's are on this island?? too many. i must have been looking at supra's off and on for 3 years before i got mine, the only nice ones were never for sale
im still tempted to do a 5spd swap, but its not really worth it if the R154 cant handle anymore power either, i might aswell just get a high stall torque converter and rebuild the auto i have to a much higher spec, it just makes sense.
i will however say that a 5spd is a hell of a lot more fun to drive
