2008 Toyota Supra Rumors: The 350Z’s days may be numbered
Rumor or not, there is definitely something in the works for a new model Toyota Supra. One of the most powerful and impressive Japanese sports cars in history going back on the assembly line is not exactly nuclear science to understand the reasoning behind it.
The 350Z has had its time in the sun, as thousands of testosterone pumped males can be seen cruising the roads in what has become one of the most impressive 6 cylinder sports cars since the Buick Grand National. Although I am just saying that hoping for a Nissan payout, as I still actually think the Grand National runs circles around the 350Z.

Any-who… the new Toyota Supra would come standard with a 6 cylinder 350hp 3.5 liter and the optional (necessity if you ask me) 5.0 liter 450 horsepower V-8. This Supra would bring back the old tune of Vanilla Ice’s “Rollin’ in my 5.0” God help us, but once again us fans of true meat will have something to dig our teeth into.
Interestingly, the Supra is rumored to have been staged for a meager 4.3 liter V-8 due to a problem with the rigidity vs. power in the convertible… but rather than take the road most traveled by other car manufacturers, the Supra chose to ditch the convertible Supra V-8 all together and roll with a solid top race ready version. At last somebody is thinking with their head, err, foot!
You still can grab the convert V-6 model however, so all you mid-life crisis’ing males can simmer down… but cover those bald spots, this bad boy is too beautiful to be tarnished with a shabby driver!
