I bought a Supra.
These are incredible cars and at the time they were being compared to 911 Turbos and Ferraris..and the Supra was frequently beating them in track tests. The specs and features back then are still incredible now: .96-.98G on the skidpad, 68-69MPH in the slalom, 109 ft braking (320mm brakes with 4 pot calipers. The car held the absolute braking record at one magazine until 2002 when a Viper finally bested it), aluminum roof and hood, hollow sway bars, rear wing that makes real downforce, etc.
The engine and mechnaical bits are as over engineered as any ever made. My car with a teeny single turbo (and minimal cash outlay) made 550HP to the wheels and would run away and hide from my buddy's 911 TT with Gemballa 550 kit on it. On 94 octane, I could run 10.8s@138 in the 1/4 mile. This isn't an imaginary or magazine test 10.8..this is real over-and-over at the track 10.8s on street tires. When I really wanted to go fast I put drag radials on with some VP Import and ran 10.30s. These times are still quite impressive and just a hand full of cars on the street can better this.
And it was just as incredible in the twistes. Because of the Fast and Furious, most people thought the Supra was only good for straight lines. Not so. The Supra is an impressive track car too.
Without a doubt the Supra is the most impressive car I've owned and would take one over a 911 TT.
