It is obvious you like your Supra. Supra's are great for speed, but that's about it.

Where do you live? Here in Dallas Supras are not exclusive AT ALL. Used Supra TT's sell for $18-24k. I see more high school kids driving Supra TT's than anything else, and I see 8-10 of them a day....that's not my idea of exclusive. Of course I also see a lot of kids driving M3's, and I see even more of those.

BTW a WRX STI VI or Lancer Evo VI with BPU will smoke a Supra with BPU in every regard. A Stock WRX or Evo VI will also smoke a stock Supra in every regard....If you ever watch Best Motoring, a Japanese video magazine, Supras are always getting spanked by S-Zero NSX's, Skylines, New RX-7's, and ESPECIALLY Evo's, and WRX's...

There are also a LOT of riced out Supra's. I would by a Supra over an E36 M3, but I wouldn't consider it over the E46. Supra's will look very very dated in 5 years...just like the Supras before them.

Skyline is and always will be the king of Japan. I've been to Tokyo. You see 10-15 Skylines for every one Supra. The top 2-3 modded Skylines are now putting out over 1400hp, and running 0-300km/h (0-183mph) in under 12 seconds ON STREET TIRES. That's while running mid 8's in the 1/4. Supra's are many steps behind.
