REVIEW
This was my first car in GT. It has given me many
a victory & will always
be one of my favorites. I also love the way it looks
in its full race
paint!
This single turbo inline 6-cylinder car gives good
straight line
acceleration & decent handling. Its fairly easy
to drive fast. For me to
say that this car should be driven by the experienced
driver would not be
an accurate statement, although, moderate care should
be taken when
entering a corner to avoid the sudden "turbo-hello"
from early throttle
application.
Handling is nothing like the new Supra, but neither
is it dreadful. I had
the suspension set up so it would bounce over any
little thing & the
downforce adjusted so I could keep the thing from
getting airborne (too
much). You may like it softer.
Gearing didn't need too much attention for my driving
style. I slightly
adjusted the 5th & final ratios to keep the engine
turning in its
powerband & to gain a slight amount of top speed,
respectively.
With only a slight amount of tweaking, the MA70 Supra
will win it all &
make you look fairly impressive doing so.
I've always held a certain amount of admiration for
the Toyota Supra in
general (having owned a first model year example
and many Celicas) and
will always include this car as one of my favorites...real
or otherwise.
US Version, Manual Trans, Dual-Shock, Analog Controller
& some ice cream
as a reward for winning.
