if you want a bunch of attention on the cheap, buy yourself a 40k exige. I literally get my picture taken nearly everytime I drive it. I try to get gas when it is "quite" so I dont have to answer "how much does it cost". I think it might be my last look at me type car. Cant pick my nose because it might go viral

I think a 996tt and supra are more or less comparable cars. It shows how the supra was a bit ahead of its time

One counter point though. Remember that the supra nationals or whatever they are called is in houston. I was at a local track day when 100 supras showed up. I was working a corner wo I watched a lot of the action. I recall a 996 gt2 and a supra chasing eachother for a whole session. They both apeared to be decent but not great drivers. They seemed neck and neck on the straights.

After the session I enquired to the drivers: the gt2 was bone stock, and the supra driver claimed 700-800 hp as he had the boost turned down for the track.

Anyways sometimes those german horses are quite strong, and cars with impressive dynos cant really use the powerband
