" I want a car that is exciting before it is dangerous." What an amazing quote from James and I totally agree
Agreed. I think that car is the GR86.
Which is what i think civics do really well, everybody keeps saying they aren't fast but that's not the point, it's fun to drive.
@kartikaysingh1667 if you enjoy how civics feel, I'd like to introduce you to the fiesta st. Not fast but insanely fun lol. Picked it over a civic si because the handling is amazing
For me it's the miata just I can pound that car and squeeze all of the fun no matter I'd I'm on track or going to the grocery store
@randomvids277 miata is always the answer. Until you have multiple kids, anyways 😅😭
Day 392 of asking James to do and Up to Speed on his Dad
I remember people saying that since 2017
Dudes quick
Lol
I agree
Legend
I'm in love with the MK2 Supra. Congratulations to the owner and good job on keeping the car pristine. You have a literal gem in your hands!
me too MKII for me all the way as a former owner I loved mine!
16:45 Can you imagine driving to work through the canyons one day and doing a double take like, "DID I JUST PASS EVERY SUPRA EVER??"
Lmao
LOL that is what i thought. hahaha for real
Can you image someone knowing what every supra before the MRK4 looks like?

Biased as I own a MKIII Supra, but I would say it's the second best looking model behind the MKII. The 80s wedge looks so good in person, especially with some TE37s! Mine is an import from Japan, so no targa top and a 1JZ which I imagine makes it handle a bit better, and the engine a bit more 'supra-y'. Might have bumped it a tiny bit higher on the list. What a dream video to shoot though, great stuff as always ✌
OMG IT'S YOU , I USED TO WATCH YOU THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY CHILDHOOD A BIT BETTER !!!!
I love a good ol MKIII, really underratted and the 1jz does sound good
Its fun to drive, right? Also im the first comment ,i guess nobody cares...
realistic redstone:
80s-90s was the best era of cars designs
The MK IV will always be my favorite, but definitely love the Mk II. I love watching Sarah, from the Sarah-n- tuned youtube channel doing a restore on the 82' Supra for a viewer giveaway. What a sweet car!!
You know how many tee shirts I have because of that giveaway?
Bought a 1982 supra at 16 years old. I had no idea what it was. I'm 42 know and it was hands down the funnest most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. In the rain you could get sideways around every corner with so much control. I drove it to 475000 k with only changing the windshield wiper motor. Ugh good memories
This is unexpected. This is gonna be a hard one. Please do driving all generations of Lancer Evo from oldest to newest (if possible). I'd really watch.
Probably couldn’t get a VI since they’re no legal yet
My second favorite car! Please do the Evos!!
@@Alice-ki7osshut
This!!
yeah, evo and STI would be dope but sad :( 55 amg would be dope also
Been trying to explain that feeling for the longest time. “It’s not that they’re too fast, it’s that they’re too comfortable while they’re going fast.” Thanks James!
Exactly, that's why the average speed on the freeway has gotten so high these days. Traffic in my area generally flows at 80+ when traffic isn't heavy.
I while back, I believe it was Car and Driver, built up a Ford Fiesta. This was in the 90s. They said one of the things they liked was that you could keep your foot in it. In a Corvette you'd be going way too fast, way to quickly so you could never feel like you are tapping into the car's ability.
That's true indeed!
Followed by "I want a car that's exciting before its dangerous" Perfectly said
Maybe the GR86 is the modern car that could give you the feeling of an old Supra.
Owned two MK2's over the years (84 & 85). Both P-type, 5spd manuals. Glad to see the MK2 rank well, it was a blast driving that car. Not fast for today's standards but it was fast enough to be fun. I miss my '85. Great video guys!!!
Why not get another 85
That way you feel the energy you did when driving the other 85 supra
Love the step up in camera work and animated bits! Feels like a proper car show with the fact dropping. Good chemistry between yall too.

The Mark 2 is so beautiful. It actually got good reviews on the supercar level of the day.
I’m more of a 2019 supra kind of guy but I like the 2nd gen as well as the 1st and 3rd
@@DanielHuggett-ob9hofunny how I don’t. The mk5 supra is what the c8 vette is to the corvette history. It’s completely different than the previous models.
As a kid, I knew right away that the Supra MK4 was THAT car from playing the very first need for speed by Road&Track.. You had all these famous super cars to pick from but here came the Supra.. And the RX-7 come to think of it! I'll never forget whopping my cousins as they always picked the DiabloVT or the Viper. THATS when I fell for the legendary MK4. Gran turismo further confirmed my love for it as well lol
I never realized how different and unique each generation of Supra is from each other. If you took off the Toyota badges you’d think they’re all completely separate models.
And yet every single example will rust into oblivion in 2 weeks because nothing says tin can like Japanese
sounds like the salty roads got you salty. My 83 has minor surface rust but survived the desert perfectly.
@@Welcometofacsistubeand yet... most of the construction is aluminum. Which last I checked, doesn't rust into oblivion.
Everyone of them has their on story
Looks like toyota was at a loss, trying to confront nissan
Honestly with how different each gen feels I was really curious about this one. Great work guys!
It was a really good comparison but I don't think the BMW should be in the list. BTW I love your channel also. Both this channel and yours are on another level.
Very much agree, Ive driven all but the new supra. Hated the mk3 supra, it left a lot to be desired over the mk2.
@@arrivendrive6831i mean you wanted a new supra, you got one. Take it or leave it

mee too.
Great video! I hope you do more in the series. And as a long time Supra owner I think you did the cars justice.
The Mark 2 holds a special place in my heart and will forever be the best Supra created in my eyes. Back in 2014, a famous Florida baseball player (can’t remember his name for the life of me) went to our church in South Florida. My dad has always been a huge and respected leader of our church, and many loved him for his undying energy to serve others. This baseball player took a liking to my dad, and eventually gave us his 1985 Mark 2 Supra just for being such a great guy. This Supra was CLEAN. And I mean, carpets untouched, shift knob free of oil, original paint shining. On top of that, the engine was pristine and came with a 5 speed manual. As a kid growing up on Gran Turismo 4 and the original Forza Horizon, I was ASTONISHED at the fact my dad had such a cool sports car to our name. My dad noticed my enthusiasm, and one day offered to let me drive it when I was 13. I have an old video of me, not knowing shit about how to start from a stopped position, chirping the clutch in every gear while me and my dad had a blast trying to get me to understand the concept of “give it gas while you take off the clutch”. Sadly, we had to sell the beautiful beast that brought my car enthusiasm to life. But the memories I hold with that Supra will always be burned in my heart. Now, I’ve had cars ranging from a simple Honda Accord, to a Mustang GT and even an NB Miata. That car was more than just a generation of the legendary Supra line, it was the love that opened my small eyes to the amazing world of cars and my love for these mechanical horses of speed. I hope one day to find an unmolested Mark 2, so I can relive me and my dad’s cherished memories of our youth when we had no cares in the world but our smiling faces, and that damn weird steering wheel
Owning an mk3 is such a pleasure man. Glad to see it get even a little bit of love.
MK3 was my first car I owned back in 1999. I still think about it every now and then.
I agree I always love the MK3. I remember my dad my brother and I(I was 4) my dad and my brother was getting a E100 Corolla at a Toyota dealership and I was wondering around the pre-owned section and I was looking at the MK3 and I did sit in it (no key was in it) and I was just pretending to drive. Let's just say I got in trouble for wondering too fair but I never forget it.
Mk3 has the cool factor to me. Always looked way cooler than the blown up blob that is the mk4
Donut inspires me.. My parents said if i get 50K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging...
saved my mk3 from probably going to a junkyard, and despite all the problems ive had (mostly electrical) i wouldnt trade it for the world. there hasn't been a car thats given me a similar feeling since.
I think you are onto something with this "every generation" - format. While it is probably a huge pain to organise and, depending on the car model, very hard to pull off, it is really great to see the different generations back to back. Would love to see more of this. "We Drove EVERY Miata" or "We Drove EVERY Evo" (or eclipse, cuz there are so many evos lol) would be amazing!
Try corvettes, mustangs, Zs(240z, 300zx, etc) and others too
Every miata would be great, but it's a very intriguing series, and with a lot of cars to pick from, they can be tacomas, lamborghinis, land cruisers, q5, etc.
WRX
loved this video, would love to see more like it! love to see a Evo 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9, and 10 comparison!
Would be cool if Jeremiah did an episode where he drove every Camaro.
I'd like them to do Firebirds at the same time. Maybe even compare the Camaros and Firebirds of the same generation

As a former owner of a MK2 Surpa I am really glad to hear your verdict, it was such a special car, I even engine swapped it to a JDM 6mge. The suspension tune was outsourced to Lotus BTW. I am surprised there aren't more of them in the JDM scene that seems to be obsessed with S chassis. One reason could be that most of them rusted away LOL
16:14 James put it so well, yea in the new cars you're really too comfortable for these kinda speeds which is dangerous. You actually can't feel that you're driving over the speed limit because the suspension and everything is so soft. Whereas in my old Mitsubishi Galant VR4 it definitely FEELS real when you accelerate.
I feel so privileged to have owned and driven a Mk2 at such a young age. Great car!
I had an opportunity to buy one when I was 20 for like 5k or something . I kick myself. It would have been my only car and the north east during the winter would have sucked. So I made the right decision but regret it now because it’s probably worth way more. This was like 2004 at the time and didn’t really have a huge following so it just was an old car at the time.
mk.3 here, loved it, plus pop up headlights!
I feel privileged to just have ridden in one, and it was auto! haha. But its a very special experience, car has a ton of character, especially the motor

@@Alex-nf3mn Why should the MK5 A90/J29 Supra look like the MK4? There's literally last generations (before the MK4) that are different. And the MK4 A80 Supra should thank the Lexus SC400/300 for its style. Otherwise, without the Lexus SC400/300(and by the way the 300 had the 2JZ series B4 the MK4 existence. While 400 had the V8 1UZ as the top engine choice over the 2JZ) the MK4 wouldn't exist. And even since its debut the MK4 A80 Supra was poor in sales for almost a decade (1993 to 1998 in the USA. 2002 in Japan). The MK5 A90/J29 is actually trying to be the 2000GT which is like the Great Grandparent of the Supra/Celica

Gen4 supras* specially, hell I’d just be as concise as possible and say “fast and the furious” fanboys
Damn. People cant love a car nowadays
Man I hate how gatekeepy car guys are. Never watched F&F, I just think the A80 looks incredible and has incalculable tuning potential. I’m not 12, I’m not a fanboy, I just like the car, but everyone has to be so toxic toward anything popular. Whatever makes you feel special
My first car was a 1987 supra turbo, 5spd. I still have it after almost 14 years. Its a serious love/hate relationship i have with it.. Over the years ive upgraded almost the entire suspension and freshened up the steering a bit and after 4 blown head gaskets on the stock engine, i threw in the towel and pulled it out. Its now sporting a 6.0 from a silverado mated to the factory 5spd. It still brings me the same smile i got when i first brought it home, just a couple weeks before my 17th birthday. Shes well settled in as part of the family now and i wouldnt have it any other way.
Sweet mk3 was my first car in 07 always had at leason one
I owned the A60 Celica Supra. It blew up. I was a teenager and I bought it for 600 bucks like 13 years ago. For the time that i had it, i truly loved it. I miss it every day. The temperature sensor didnt work and i didnt notice it was overheating one day. Its a shame you guys couldnt get your hands on a 1jz powered mk3 to compare to the 7m. It was definitely a turning point for it.
James crying tears of joy to drive his dream car is the most wholesome thing ever
Really surprised and pleased to see the MKII getting so much love. Mine is the best car I've ever driven, so much character and such distinctive looks.
I agree, I absolutely adored my '85. Easily one of the best cars I've ever had
@@supraguy8792 sworn to never, ever get rid of my '85. Has cost me a lot to keep running but it's my ideal car.
As always an awesome video from these two donut legends!
I'll always love the gen 2. I've never owned one, but I did have the 83 Celica GTS Coupe. Great car (even when it was worn out) in the corners and for what it was, it was fairly quick too.
gen 3 is my favorite, my neighbors have one and that caused me to fall in love with it, before i even really knew what a supra was. a dream car of mine
Had one in the 90s. It was a car you kinda wore instead of sat in! The 7m GTE was a phenomenal motor when paired with the manual.
The MkIII was my starter car in Gran Turismo, so I have a soft spot for it.
Got a 7M GTE version MK3 and love it to death It‘s not an MK4 definitely and needs some learning to drive (it‘s heavy asf) but so fun once you can deal with it
Same
I got a project mk3 for $500, rust free and decent condition, considering its age. This was in 2021 when car prices were insane too lol, there's still good deals to be had! Get on it before you regret not getting one 🤘

In 1982, my dad was looking into buy a new car after he sold his Thunderbird. Went to a local Chevy dealership and wanted to buy a brand new 82 Corvette. They told him it'd be about 3 weeks to get a new one delivered. Being in his early 20s, he was impatient (aren't we all) and told them he didn't want to wait that long. Well down the road was the Toyota dealership, and in it sat a brand new Terracotta Red Supra with a digital dash and all the options that was offered. With 10 miles on it. Having never driven anything other than American cars, that man drove his new Supra off the showroom floor. And to this day, he says that was the best car he's ever owned
100% agree. Great vid
Always loved your guys content. Keep up the great work!

Bear witness to sanity and banish all religious nonsense@@Alice-ki7os
I think you nailed the order. The gen 4 and gen 2 are just cool cars.
I am super glad to see the A60 (Mk2) getting some love. Bought mine six years ago and I wouldn't ever dream of selling her. Such an overlooked and underrated car. Pure driving experience as well as the retro 80's look that arguably everyone loves! I previously had a Mk4 and sold it before prices went sky high, now it's back in the realm of a dream car. One of the worst decisions I have made. :(
Can we get a “we drove every Z car ever made” video, The Nissan/Datsun Z is my favorite line of cars, and they’re extremely influential vehicles
"We raised the price of every supra model on one video!!" Haha love y'all!
I LOVE THE SUPRA MK4 WITH TURBOS, when you shift gears it sounds so good

I was born in 80, so I remember seeing the mk2 alot as a kid. I always thought it was an awesome car, and the mk2 wheels look sooo good on so many other cars. Mk2 is def my favorite 💙
My grandmother had an 85 mk2 black with gold lettering and louvres . I remember her picking me up and doing 100+ down I4 on our way to disney. That car got me into loving everything mechanical
Love this video. Supra will be always my dream car.
I love my 89 mk3. The facelift they gave it halfway through was great and while it suffers from a lot of 80’s things with plastics and vacuums it’s a great touring car and daily
This is the first one of these where the list is 100% spot on with my own feelings, which is awesome! I absolutely love the Mk2...to be honest, I want one more than a Mk4 but I think that comes down to price more than anything.
Absolutely love this as a owner of Mk2 this warms my heart love ya guys 💯
Whole time he was in the mk4 I had a big ol smile. My all time fav car too ❤🔥
I loved seeing James' reaction to the MK4. I love seeing someone's dreams come true. It was just such a wholesome moment
This is the We Drove Every video I was waiting for! Ideally, the MKIV should have been a stock example. But I know those are rare and expensive.
They should have hit up Sam from Cleetus s crew! Although his never leaves the garage haha
That car is pretty damn close to being completely stock.
It actually wasn't too far off from being stock. The engine was still the original TT set up
can yall please do a series like this for every vw R car so i can hear yall rave abt the mk4 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
absolutely surprised with this. I do lots of HPDE and see gen 4's from time to time and see gen 5's regularly and they are insanely fast on a track. i wish you would have had a stock gen 4, but i realize that's probably very hard to find.

I have a similar story to James with mk4 Supra. Little did I now, that car is going to be a legend. Beautiful landscape, anyway! I really apreciate the shooting location.
I can say that I am very fortunate to be able to own multiple MKII and MKIII Supras, from 1999 to 2016. I also have a privilege on working on countless MKII, MKIII and MKIV Supras, during that time period as well. these cars helped me start my career in automotive repair and performance and also taught me a lot in high performance tuning and motorsports. I first started drag racing in a Mercedes 190E in 1998 and then a MKII Supra in 1999. and also learned how to drift in a MKII Supra, back in 2002. the MKII is definitely a much lighter and agile car. its a “drivers car”. almost like an AE86. the MKIII is more like a GT car. it can handle high speeds very well and can accept a lot of mods and engine swaps. the MKIV is more sleek and sporty and can handle treating amounts of power on the mighty 2JZGTE. although I never owned a MKIV, I am lucky enough to be able to work on a lot of them back at my old shop at KBR Performance. lots of fun times and learning experiences from working and driving those 3 generations of Toyota Supra and now, I also have the opportunity to work on a couple of MKV’s. its a great car, but nothing beats the OLD SCHOOL!
The MKII was my first car I purchased when I was 18. It's nice to see the Donut crew have an appreciation for such an underrated generation, especially ranking it 2nd between all generations. 10 years later, my MKII is still a blast to drive around. I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world. Thank you Donut for showing us the evolution of this icon, the legendary Supra!
My first car too, but I sold it :(
I'd love to see "we Drove every Generation Corvette" might be tricky to pull off but very rewarding
They could do a "Drove Every Version of the C4 Corvette" and it would be longer than this comparison.
This is the most conflicted video i watched from you guys, specially when Nolan said that quote about MK5 Supra or "Cooler BMW Z4" that applies for most modern sport cars
yeah. the omission that the newest supra has a bmw engine, bmw platform, and is built at the same factory as the bmw z4 in Austria while calling it "just as much a supra as any other supra" is disingenuous... they're in it for the thrills not the facts.
Interesting. Insightful. I like it. Well done guys.
Yall should rank every Mazda Rotary 👀

Great episode! Got linked to it by some fellow MK2 Supra Guys and stoked james liked it so much. USA people, you don't know how lucky you are for availability of Cheap MK2's and parts! Most of them were sold in the USA and are really rare elsewhere in the world. I have seen rust free cars that need a bit of work selling for $3000, tonnes of good shells being broken for parts in junkyards and i weep. Living in the UK, they only ever imported 100 cars a month, so there are barely any left now. Buy these up now and save them because they are going the same way AE86 prices did. And then you'll all moan that you should have bought one when they were cheap. That time is NOW! Mitsubishi/ Chrysler/ Dodge Starion/Conquests too. they al need saving and buying up. Too cool to all get scrapped.
Yeah, I almost bought a MK2 with very high mileage for only $500. many years ago but I already had MK2 wheels, seats and rear wing for my better looking MK1. Kinda glad I didn't buy the MK2 'cause I planned to pull the motor and maybe the rear independent suspension to hopefully install in my classic MK1( is rear possible?) I would have ruined the love it or hate it boxy robot body MK2.
1 of my first cars was an 83’ celica GT with a 5 speed and a R22 motor probably hands down 1 of my favorite cars i ever had
When I sat down to eat lunch today and I pulled up KZhead to watch something, I did not expect to be hit in the feels like this. I'm in my late 30s now and I sold off my last Supra about 9 years ago when family and kids became more important than the toys of youth. But I've owned an 82 MkII (twice), 83, 85, 86.5 MkIII, and an 87. For me, no car will ever compare to the MkII Supra. The 5MGE engine that came stock in the MkII from 82-86 changed in power from ~140hp to eventually ~160hp, but I had a 6MGE engine from Japan that made ~190hp. And let me tell you, if you guys enjoyed the MkII with the stock 5MGE, you would've had an absolute blast with a 6MGE (or even 7MGE) swap in it, no turbo needed. Even now, if I had $20k to spend on a "fun car", I still think I'd go back to MkII Supras. Thank you for making my day.
I just bought a MK3 about a year ago and finally have it back on the road after pulling the 7m and doing a full rebuild on it with a fully forged bottom end. So ready to break it in and start throwing some big power at it
I owned two Mark 1 Celica Supras. They still have a special place in my heart just because they were my first cars. To be fair, the automatic transmission made it feel gutless. When the motor blew, we crammed in a 22R with a 5 spd out of a Toyota truck. Sad to say, it improved the car. So glad Toyota didn't give up on the idea after the Mark 1.
I had an 81 mark 1 with the 5 speed. Pulled like a mule from zero even in 3rd gear. I even redlined it in 5th and wrapped the speedo around back to 20kmh (no pin) I understand the auto's were gutless turds tho. lol
This needs to become a semi regular channel feature. Especially if you guys venture to Europe or Japan so you can cover things you don't get in the US, obviously logistics means that'd be the exception rather than the normal (unless you have access to the cars imported already). Something like this on things like cosworth or lotus could be rather cool.
Well done. On the point.
this series is way better than i ever expected it to be and I cannot wait to see more legendary cars like the Evo and M3. Hell, I'd be interested in the Camaro, Mustang, and even Charger.
feels like a SUPER up to speed episode. love these! more we drove every!
Learned to drive manual in my family's '79. So it's got that going for it which is nice.
I like these kind of video comparison. You should also do the Toyota tacoma, tundra, and 4runner. Great job guys.
I feel the Mk 3 is very underappreciated. I owned one when I used to live in Japan with the 1Jz amazing car!
My 1st car was a 3rd gen 1986 Supra. 3200$ I took my road test in that car. It was so frickin SWEET
That has to be one of the coolest first cars ever.
