You're right, no comparison, Supra TT spanks a Porsche with a lot of cash left over.

Nonsense.
It wasn't very popular at all when it was released. Consumers simply weren't interested in a $45k+(plenty of 50-55k+) turbocharged Japanese vehicles. By '97, Toyota was having a hard time giving them away, and dropped the MSRP by over $10k...

The movie is the main reason these are popular and have extraordinarily high resale. These joints were gathering dust until 2001

I wouldnt say its the main reason. But yes it did educate people what the Supra was. The Supra was still very popular along with the rx7 and skyline being the elite of *** imports, and they mainly collected dust do to the SUV craze. What I meant was the movie showed the ricey side and how you can make the car look like a trapper keeper, and even though it was a trend (which I never got into) I never cared for it. I just hated the flamboyant colors, underbody lights, altezza lights, NOS.

Sweet Ride. It's going to be somewhat of a pain to maintain that 15 years old car though. My nextdoor neighbor used to own a 96 Supras twin turbo. Head breaker though nonetheless

Very nice man! Growing up it was either the Supra TT, GTR, or M3 as my dream car. I took the cop out road with the M3.
