- Underpowered? Hmmmm, I don't notice that in my 86.5 Supra. I drive on
- I-80 a lot, and every time I hit those 40 degree climbs up the mountain
- sides, I can fly up the mountain at about 85 miles an hour with ease
- (rpm at about 3500 - 4000). It feels very solid and not at all like I'm
- pushing it to it's limit. Though you're right, it is kind of heavy for
- a car. But I think it makes up for it with the 6 cylinder 200 hp engine.
