87 Targa Turbo, yes quite fast, but CHRONIC problems. The head is prone to warping. Toyota did not do a very good job in the thermal dynamics department here; the head is long and not cooled very evenly. The car in reference here had the head replaced twice. The front crank seal is also notoriously bad, two of those also and it still leaked. Labor is astronomical as well, as the engine compartment is very densely packed, many things (intake manifold, etc.) have to be removed to do simple jobs. Roomate sold the car and bought a 92 civic HB after a neon wasted the supra.
A lot of car for the money, but make sure you have lots more to put into it (i.e. mark IV engine swap, single turbo conv, etc.)
