I'm the second Supra voter, and the only reason is because this was a very common video game racing car, a big part of the whole fast Japanese fast car/VTEC/dropped Civic/Acura Integra automotive subculture.
Which I'm not really into, but for what it's worth, always thought the Japanese character on the Hayabusa (bike) was damn cool. It means "Peregrine Falcon".

IMO, the MKIV Supra photographs better than it looks in person.  I've found them kind of bloated-looking in person as well.

All the 90s Japanese legends look dumpy as hell in person now.  Time and ricers have ravaged them all.

It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

I saw a pristine MkIV a couple of months ago.  With stock wheels and stock ride height, they look a little like a clown shoe.  FD3 RX-7s still look great today.  I think the 3KGT still looks good.  Z32 300ZX still looks good, though definitely getting a little dated.

NSX is probably the only one that's escaped the rot.

FD too. You're not wrong about the 3000GT/Stealth, and the R32 looks old but not dumpy imo. Supra still looks good IMO

I'm not saying the cars look dumpy in the abstract.  Just that whenever you actually see one on the road, they're generally in shit condition and look out of place.

True, but that's the owners, not the cars.

NSXs + Supras have high costs of entry and you have to be OCD to keep an FD running

3000GT/300ZX do generally look like shit though as do most modified ~$5K cars

No love for this one? I saw one the other day and was reminded how small they are compared to normal modern cars
