Hm, now that I think about it, I'm pretty fortunate. I've owned the Supra Turbo (MKIV), MR2 turbo, NSX, and now the S2000. Have yet to own an FD RX7 though, and probably never will, now that I'm married. The wife says keep the S2000, I say no problem

My 91 MR2 Turbo is my favorite car that I have owned. LOVE that car even though it was much slower than my S2000 in current form. I sold it to someone, bought it back a year later when they had a baby and then ended up selling it when weekend wrenching became too commmon. But I kept it in like new condition and that was tough to do.

I've got two of my dream cars from that era (S2k & FD). I would love to have a Mark IV Supra turbo & an MR2 turbo as well someday...... someday.

MR2 turbos can be had for relatively cheap these days. MKIV Supra turbos are just ridiculously overpriced. I owned mine pre-Fast & Furious when they were still reasonable. I wouldn't consider one now, it just doesn't seem worth it for the money.

Agreed. My Z06 kicks the Supra's ass in almost every performance measure unless you want to easily make crazy hp #'s that are often barely usable in reality.
