When I was sixteen my first car was a 87 n/a and well I wasn't lucky enough to salvage the car after the wreck (not my fault) when i was seventeen I used the money to invest in a turbo model (bad mistake) sadly I wrecked the car (my fault) I could have easily been killed.

Take it from me and just be smart and careful don't take life for granted.

im glad 4 the input cuz i just drove my dads 96 galant gtz and i cant even control a 190hp galant so no supra turbo Lol so what about this guys my dad said this car is on its last leg so im thinking this
i take tht 4 free but i want to convert it to manual and 1 of the pistons r going out so i need to fix tht either way im paying the same price so im thinking of just buying a mk3 na 5 speed 4 about 2k and just save money and put it into the supra wat u guys think

This hands down. Yea its a good first car. Just a NA...My 87 was an original NA 5 speed. As RazoE has said you need to earn your power.
Also, please use proper grammar. It is difficult to read your post. Yes we are old crotchety old people...Ian and Mike especially.

I'm glad you viewed my videos they weren't meant to discourage you.
The supra is amazing as long as you can respect it.

It's not a great first car if it's turbo , unless it has low miles and it's immaculate. The N/A supra is a "Chill"(im still hip with the youngsters) first car, meaning that it's fun and they don't really have many problems. If you are really set on a supra , always do compression check, combustion leak test and the usual basic visual before you purchase. GL
Just becareful of that boost. Im 16 and just got my license about 4 days ago. for crusing around ive been driving my dads 1jz since im currently building my 2jz mk3 and man ill tell you its tempting. but what always keeps me from goin on it is the fact that i could lose my license just like that. But in the long run if you can control the urge its a beautiful car, with the targa top off and the music blasting its a nice car to drive around especially now that its the summer
A stock non-turbo Supra would be a good option. They are reliable, the insurance isn't bad for a sixteen year old, and they look good too. My Supra is my first car, it's an 87 N/A 5spd, and I love it. As long as you get one in good condition, and you are willing to fix the small things that will break on any 24 year old car, then you'll enjoy it.
Good Luck.:icon_bigg

no no people said that the 400 horsepower was to much so im just gonna get the 5 speed n/a supra
would a n/a mk3 beat a mustang gt?

^ hope ur doing this at a track lol. its not worth risking your life and others on a the street. im mean i have no place to talk but if your gunna race your buddy with the mustang suck up the 30$ and do it at a strip instead of risking alot of bad shit happening
duh just kidding i live about 10 miles away from a dragstrip so ill be cruising downtown in the city

i have a quick question my dad owns a galant gtz should i get that
1 piston is going out so i need to fix that and replace the tranny with a 5 speed and some minor body work

Thats like total rebuild. The 5 speed parts.
Might be better to have a 4 door, but the cost to fix that is going to be a lot. And then you need all the 5 speed parts so your looking at about another grand plus labor for that.

i personally do not know anything about galants. I think , you should wait and leave your options open. Do not shop on impulse.
I dont think even a stock turbo would beat a Mustang GT well i guess it depends on the year.
But with very light mods it will destroy a mustang

It also bugs 20-year-olds like me.
I like that you're asking though, I respect that. My first car was a '91 turbo auto. I was 16, and um, yea I don't recommend it either.
Edit: After posting I remembered what my sig says lol the other driver was at fault. I'm just saying that the car surprised me a few times.
