Are all Supra TT's automatics?

Actually, shoemanfoo is right. And CROM. In 1996, the Supra Turbo only came with an automatic- 5spds only came w/ the N/A version. Like CROM said, a lot of people prefer automatics, but also like shoemanfoo said, it was because of emissions. 1996 was the year OBD-II went into effect and Toyota couldn't bring the 6spd version up to regulation in time for the model year. Also, the auto has a manual override switch that let you shift and hold the gears like a stick. With that, the autos are only a couple tenths slower than the 6spds. But they're weak and can't hold much power. People pushing a lot of power were busting the planetaries and replacing the trans on a regular basis. I know a person running 600 hp who has that Level 10 auto trans, and it can't hold the power. I mean, think about it. 600 lb-ft and 3800 lbs w/ driver would be pretty hard on any drivetrain.

Also, there's a guy in my area (Baltimore, Maryland) selling a 93 turbo auto with 60K miles for only $19K. If someone really wants one, make the drive here and pick it up! If I wasn't in college, I'd probably have bought it already. hehe.

Subject says it all.

No way man.
I wouldn't have one without the six-speed manual.

That's good to hear. Edmunds' doesn't list a 6speed option and the five or six internet classifieds I checked out were all AT.

Those puppies are still pretty pricey! I was seeing $25-$30K for ones with reasonable (<60k ) mileage.

Is it in good condition? Has it been raced alot?

The fastest Supras all run Powerglide transmissions... I believe. Just like most domestics in the 8's.
