I owned a '87 944 Turbo back in the day and remember lusting after the '88 Turbo S and the mechanically identical '89 Turbo. I'd love to pick up a Silver Rose Metallic Turbo S with the plaid interior.
Is that a Sammy in your profile pic? How do you like the breed? We have a deposit down for a litter
944 Turbo could be really interesting too - how do they drive?
When I was 18 I had a beat up well used GSR that I loved and dreamt about that $9k spoon motor - think it would be cool to own one. Somewhat worried it'll be tremendously underwhelming but the dream certainly feels good
I've been in a JDM mode as of late, maybe it's form watching too much Initial D but, FC or FD RX7, AE86, NSX,
Owned S2000 and ITR before and the S2000 was/is a great car, especially in California where you can put the top down, one of the few cars designed as a roadster. ITR stock like the E30 M3 is okay but nothing spectacular or if anything bleh by todays standards.
I sort of like idea of building a spoon itr

I think you'll be underwhelmed. I think once you go 'up' market, refinement, feel, performance... going back is tough. I think S2K is good, I had one for 6 years, great car, but compared to any 911? Meh. That shifter tho.... If you want JDM, NSX or import a GTR. Built Supra are cool, but good luck finding one done to the standard you would and isn't beat to hell. Another option is an old skool JDM like a Celica. My buddy builds these and well, they are seriously cool.

You're just an a-hole drug dealer. First sniff is free! And yes, Matt is definitely smarter than I am, not hard! Remember I got you hooked on that G series
I've owned three Supra's in my lifetime and I hope to find a bone stock Supra for the future. These cars in stock form are commanding some good prices.
I had a "bone stock" 92? time capsule Supra for a few months that I flipped to buy my 993.
Good looking car, and i loved the driver focused cockpit, but I'm not a turbocharged car fan.
A friend that had a few P cars drove it and said, what is wrong with your steering, it has no feel.
i don't remember that being an issue, but just letting ya know.
Ps, regarding the muscle car suggestion.
Drive before you get too far down the mental process. I have a 69 'Cuda and recently drove an improved 69 Firebird, both ar distressingly bad handlers compared with what we have grown accustomed too.

There is truth to this, finding a stock Supra is like finding a unicorn.
Type R go 98, less of them, face lifted and importantly Championship White.
Ironically on the MKIV Supra, this year I have seen more unicorns come through the door in bone stock form than any year prior (5-6 completely bone stock cars..... all of which are now modified even though I've actually tried to convince the owners to leave stock).

I had the pleasure of driving a last year model supra, w/ 18,000 miles a few years back. 100% Stock form. Horrendous driving experience, to me. Therefore i'm completely perplexed how a lot are supporting the supra. I was (still not) not a supra fan before i drove the car( i grew up streaming Leh Kings Road Atlanta in car video of the supra drifting w/ a 56k modem too). A close friend once drove his "dream car", a 993 - and he called me right afterwards saying it was the MOST underwhelming experience of his life. He's a huge Porsche guy. He couldn't believe and i quote "such heap of **** has been my dream car for over a decade". I had a similar experience with a R34 i drove in Japan 5 months ago. In conclusion, be careful in making your dreams a "reality".
