Except your 951 looks better and less transformer-like.

I thought he meant he had found a supra twin turbo. It is a good match, though. My friend has a MkIII like that in the same white outside/blue inside color scheme as my car. Honestly, the inline 6 is in my opinion a superior engine design to the 4 cylinder because of its inherent balance. The MkIII's had that adjustable air suspension, too. If I was going to drive that kind of "import" car, it would be a supra over anything else.

Hmm - let's see what is similar:

Same color.
Four wheels.
Front after-market spoiler.
I believe both have a steering wheel on the left side.

Let's see what's different:
One's a Porsche, the other is a Toyota
Body is different - 951 has a smooth body, the Supra has more edges.
The 951 has a vented nose, the Supra doesn't
Wheels are different
Headlights and front nose are different.
Interior is different
The 951 has a sunroof the Supra doesn't.
The 951 has a 4cyl turbo, the Supra a straight six.
Overall dimensions are different.
One was manufactured in Germany, the other in Japan.
The 951 is pretty, the Supra - not so much.
... and the list goes on...

I suppose if you squint really hard, you can see the resemblence. Just like a Ford Tarus and a 911 look alike!

Sorry, couldn't resist...

What you can't see is the cool emblem on the front of that supra. I used photoshop to blow it up so that you can see it.

You might want to find one of those late 80s RX7s as they were a true wanna be of the 944

I don't really like that generation of Supras. But I do like the generation after that with the rounded body and 600 hp+ capabilities.
