So that’s what a stock Supra looks like

Supra, RX7, 300zx, Stealth R/T, Corvette... What good week to be a test driver.

That RX-7 is still beautiful today.

These cars are impressive even by today's standards.

$69,276.17 for the Toyota $75,585.25 for the Porsche $63,833.04 for the Nissan $55,948.75 for the Mazda $57,487.67 for the Dodge $62,411.23 for the Vette in 2014 money.

Japan had some great sports cars back in those days. Supra, RX7, Skyline, NSX, 3000GT, MR2, 300ZX, Silvia S14. Integra Type R and Eclipse GSX were also pretty good.

This was a golden age in the sports car category. One of the best eras ever with so many brands competing and pushing each other. There have been other great eras but rarely was there/has there been so much competition.

Ahh the 90s, when Toyotas were cool...

Wow that RX7 still looks great

The 968 had a 3.0 liter 4 cylinder!!! How big were those pistons!

The supra and rx7 are still wanted today. And command a price too

The Nissan 300zx still a good looking car.

My wife and I owned a pair of 300ZX TT's, and they felt faster than the claimed 0-60 time. At times scary fast! Modern sports cars with 0-60 in the 3-4 second range must be an insane driving experience!

I forgot how much these cars cost back in the day...whoa

The Supra was way ahead of its time. Ageless design and engineering. Much respect

That Supra is sooooo hard to find stock without shit tuners and ricers getting a hold of the Turbo Manual ones in the early 2000s

300zx still my favorite of the bunch

So cool to see a group of legends and a Porsche 968 in one video!

I'd still take the Supra and 300ZX in turbo forms.

Truly a great time for Japanese sports cars. I don't think anything today from the Japanese car market can match that era. The corvette looks the most dated out of the bunch, and I think the supra was a great value even then. I would love to own any one of those master pieces.

Lol I find it funny that Porsche and Dodge are in the same category

Only the Corvette remains in continuous production from then to now. Just bought a C8. Love it.

the fd rx7 is in the running for most gorgeous car of all time

Love these old videos. Please keep them coming.

I love these old clips. There should be a video archive of all reviews.

Wow... I must say I am impressed by these amazing machines! Everything is turbo'd, defiantly was surprised that the RX-7 came turbo'd. Everything had a removable roofs, and Everything looked amazing.

Owned all 3 of these back in day 94’ Supra Turbo/93’ RX7/91’ 300ZX Turbo and my brother had a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 so I was fortunate enough to able to experience all of them and without a doubt my favorite to drive was RX-7.....so much lighter feeling and on edge than the others, it honestly made the Supra/300ZX seem more like really high performance but much heavier GT cars.

The Supra can still command its retail value or more if it's in good condition and unmodified. I guess that makes it a classic.

This is when cars were cars, not mobile bedrooms

I might be in the minority but I always liked the C4's styling. It's strange how no one seems to remember the C4 fondly, unless it's the Grand Sport or the ZR1, but it's good to know that it really was competitive later in its lifespan. Maybe I'll find a good example before I hit 30.

Fanboys be like: Supras have 1000hp stock

Of all my life’s regrets. Selling my 1993 RX7 is near or at the top. The sellers remorse was instantaneous, and it still stings.... 20 some odd years later.

Oh how I miss that last Supra and RX-7

Supra and rx7 still turning heads and giving the new school a run for their money

That Supra. A true legend. It beats down cars today in a straight line, in the turns, and braking. Some mags got 0-60 in 4.6sec even stock. It's one of those cars that come along every 10 years or so. Another that comes to mind was the Evo 7/8/9. Toyota is bringing back the Supra on a BMW platform and/or powertrain. It has a lot to live up to, and hopefully it hits that $45-55k mark. Toyota better not screw this one up like they did the 86.

I owned a Supra twin turbo in 1995. Completely stock was still faster than a 911 or an M3 remaining very comfortable and silent.

Everytime i think i find the best match up, i somehow find another.... i cant stop watching these vids....

That is a good blast from the past. When I used to drool over those cars because I was too young to afford one. I used to drool over the 3000GT the most. But about 5 years ago I bought the Supra. The Supra is the hands down winner in this group. Although I do kind of wish I had an RX7 also. The Supra has held its value the most though Adding an Acura NSX, a Mustang 5.0 notchback, Camaro Iroc-Z , Trans-AM GTA and a Buick Grand National would round out the list... but then there is also the GMC Typhoon and GMC Syclone to deal with.

I would love to add a Porsche 968 to my stable, very rare and underappreciated car.

I love the C4 corvette. Owned one and now I have a 50th anniversary C5.

Thanks for posting the video, fun to watch

Inside and out, the nissan 300zx turbo is timeless. It will still look good 50 years from now.

I had a 92 Dodge Stealth and of all the fast cars I have owned it was probably the best handling of the bunch. WAY ahead of its time in technology.

Throwback Thursdays???? What a great idea! I used to watch Motortrend back in the "old days" on my local PBS station and would not miss a week. This is so fun seeing what was available then and to compare it to what we have today. It's like flipping through old car magazines and reminiscing.

The golden era for Japanese cars. A subtle nuclear-arms race. This model Z car is my all-time favorite car. Back when cars were turbocharged for performance.

To this day I still think my 300zx turbo is an amazing car

This formed my love of cars. Watched since the first episode when I was a kid. Still stop what I'm doing to watch on Sundays.

I think the design of the RX-7 have aged the best out of all the cars presented.

Those prices. 20 years later, my 2015 Mustang GT cost the same as the low end of those,or less, makes 2x the power, gets much better gas mileage, and outperforms them in just about every way imaginable. Seems like a great value and yet people complain they are getting too expensive

Thanks for making this video available. I use to watch this show when I was a teenager dreaming of these cars!!!

I bought the ‘93 RX-7 ‘cause I couldn’t quite afford to pay cash for the Supra. Once I bridge ported it and went to a single ball bearing turbo, it was very competitive with every Supra encountered. Even stock it out handled everything else I raced in Tampa during the mid 90s. I loved that car and should never have traded it.

Wow the Supra thrashed all of those 0-60 times. Bravo.

43.000 Dollars for a Toyota in 1993,no wonder it was a failure...

Cool video.. ive had my 93 twin turbo stealth for 13 years.. still has under a 100k miles on it.. love that car...

Nobody’s talking about the Dodge??? The Stealth is so cool... I want one. I see them once in a while, amazing to look at! Can’t help myself but take a walk around one when I see one.

I miss TTOP cars

PLEASE do this every week!

RX7 FD is the most beautiful and one of the best handling cars ever made. It still makes my heart beat fast when I see one. You have to love every single one of these cars, though. So much win in this video, so much.

The memories. I used to watch this show regularly as a teenager and had the magazine subscription as well. It's great that the "show" is still going today.

Its amazing the impression left from the Supra, everyone is talking about it on these comments. My heart goes to the Stealth. I had a R/T stealth in highschool, I was lucky enough to save up money and buy a used one.

fast forward to 2019 a bmw supra a mid engine corvette and the others are in the grave

All these legends in one video.

The Rx7 over here still being one of the most beautiful cars ever created.

RX-7, Supra, and MR2 Turbo, the best 3 JP sports cars all time.

Bring back the supra and put twin turbos back on the Z and we're all good.

If you had to buy and hold one from this bunch, it would be the Supra Turbo hands down!! Going for $60,000 plus as of 2019! Thanks Fast and Furious:-)

Great segment. Makes me miss my ‘90 300ZXTT - one of the best cars I’ve ever owned.

The Dodge Stealth was my favorite sports car of the mid-90s. I still think it looks good today, but I think the Mazda rx-7 gives it a run for it's money.

Love the supra and 300zx, I wish I was a teenager back then

The beauty of throwbacks. You either hate the things in them or love them. The content makes you feel like you're in a time machine. +Nostalgia points. And you really can't talk crap because why bother complaining about something that happened decades ago.

used to watch these videos as a kid w/ my dad, brings back great memories

300zx twin turbo is my choice.

300z ftw

give this man a raise honestly thank you

These cars are remarkable for their age. God I love these old MotorWeek car reviews.

Supra still an amazing car today

The 300ZX was as fast as today's 370Z!! What are you doing Nissan!?

I drove RX-7 in 1996 and it was a 1994 I think same as this either way. I was so surprised when the redline and fuel cut off were so high that as I left a stop sign turning right on to a 55mph st route I opened it up half way around the corner from an easy takeoff. It swung the ass to the left and stayed there, I shifted at 7k. It was linear power. It even had that low end torque I didn’t think it would have to step the ass out at that low speed and rpm. Pretty cool car.

Awesome! Keep the throwbacks coming!

Supra or Rx-7 hmmm would have been at tough one

Miss my 300zx. A little crazy in corners i remember

The RX-7 is so damn pretty. They could sell a car with the exact same body today, all they'd have to do is update the headlights because flip-ups are no longer legal.

This was great guys! It would be between the Supra and the RX-7 for me.

Anyone watching in 2019???

Supra wins hands down IMO!

I love this video. It’s like goin’ back in time.

The motor trend host is the YES MAN of the auto-review industry. He seems like everything without critical thought. As for which Car I'd pick...man toss up between the Supra and the 300ZX.

RX-7 and Supra 😍😍😍

C4 Corvette, Supra and 300ZX All The Way!

I was in love with the STEALTH RT back then. So cool and a 300 horse all wheel drive!

The moment Motorweek doesn't have John is the moment the series dies in my mind

The Supra was way ahead of all of these cars, only the RX7 came close. Both have styling that is timeless and the Supra's 2jz went on to be one of the most iconic and legendary engine platforms

Ahh, good ol 1993. My favorite year of ALL TIME for cars and movies. Also, what a WEAK launch @ 7:32. If they launched the Stealth like the Corvette @ 8:39, the Stealth would have gotten ~5 second 0-60. You have to do a fast slip of the clutch which will cause front tires to chirp a little, more difficult to do properly with AWD vs. RWD though.

I was a Valet at a 5 star hotel which was built into the side of a ski mountain when I was in highschool until I graduated college (1996-2004).. I drove all these cars and they were all a blast to drive the 1/3 mile from a hidden parking lot up a strait away into two S turns. The best thing was that nobody could see you until you rounded the last corner at the top of the hill and pulled up to the front of the Hotel. It was an amazing job and I can remember driving each and every one of these cars. But to tell the truth, out of all of them, the real beast and ultimate drivers car was the 3000GT VR4. With it's twin Turbo V6, Awd, and 4 wheel steering, that car would stick to the road, pin you to the seats and just outshine everything else. The Supra's, RX7's, Vette's and Porsche's were a blast but as soon as you got into the power band, the back end would kick out and unless you wanted to drift, you had to let off the gas. The Bishi was something that made it's animal powerplant useable in all conditions and on all roads. We had an owner who had a red one with tan interior and every Valet called it the king. the consensus was that it was the best of all the sport cars we got to drive. I'd say that the only thing that rivaled it was this one crazy guy's early 90's caged 911 Turbo which was TUNED beyond belief ( He once told us that the titanium exhaust cost him $30,000! ) When looking at it with it's wide body kit and it's 305 rear tires, you knew to be careful with it. The one time I got on it up the strait away, I broke both rear tires free on hot dry pavement and as I let off the gas and glanced at the gauges, the speedo needle was dropping quickly past 150 mph as I was still spinning.. and I that was in third gear! Later that day, the Hotel manager had a meeting with all of us asking who left 50 yards of THICK rubber on the hill lol. I piped up and said that I heard a loud rev earlier in the day and then the white Porsche pulled up to be parked. "It had to be that guy" I said, Haha! He bought it and nobody got in trouble.. BUT! The next day, as the owner brought the car in to get parked, he said to my buddy, "I told you guys to be careful with this thing. It looks like somebody got into boost on the hill! I have friends with Vipers, Lambo's and Ferrari's and they wont drive with me in this because it scares them." 100% I believed him! Ahh the good old days :)

The classics 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 back in the 90’s everything revolves around the sports car. Now you don’t see as much of them anymore but SUV’s.

Came here for all the 12 year olds screaming "SuPrA iS tHe BeSt CaR yOu DoNt KnOw WhAt YoUr TaLkInG aBoUt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1"

You can barely find a nice LHD MKIV Supra for those prices today! Talk about an investment.

5:14 F-86L "Dog Sabre" sweet! The '94 Supra with the big wing spoiler is every ricer's wet dream

This is more or less the collection of my favourite cars from my favourite era...the 90s. Throw in the NSX, 3000GT and the SVX and you got my dream 90s garage. Every car so different and unique in terms of exterior/interior design, technological solutions, RWD, AWD, all wheel steering, unique engines, pop-up headlights, T-tops,... They are unlike anything you see on the road today. In fact most modern cars look quite boring in comparison.
