I don't have a Supra at this time. I haven't seen one worth buying at the price point. The new ones interest me, 'cause they're a BMW with a Toyota skin on 'em. I'd be unlikely too boost one to the point of 1000 hp... I prefer most of my cars to be stock, unmodified. I like their unique characteristics and appreciate the differences.
I did buy a pair of RX7 - one of which is a true JDM.
I love everything about the Pierce-Arrow, including the awesome hood ornament. The flying B is also pretty sexy, I think.
He says you need a Supra
Those RX7s are really cool cars
If I were to get the Supra, I might go all the way back to the Celica days and start at the beginning. I already have stuff that puts 1000 hp to the wheel, and I don't have to risk blowing up 2JZ or worry about N2O. If I want to roast tires, I have a hundred cars that'll do it without breaking a sweat - and without over-boosting an engine to the point where it lunches itself on the pavement.
That said...
If I found one at a reasonable price, done with reasonable quality.... I'd definitely buy it. The 2JZ is legendary for a reason.
I'd also consider getting the new Supra and letting my guys go to town on it. They're very, very capable of being modified and the engine in them is at least as good as the 2JZ.
I wouldn't know how hard they are to find
