Did Toyota run the Supra in the IMSA series. NO!!!! Super car. LOL, No where close. The Supra didn't become popular until Fast and Furious. I like Supra's, they were just not all that back in the day.

This.

When they were in showrooms, they were cool but not the world-beaters people think they were. It took the aftermarket a few years to catch up and make them the Supra we think of today. Plus, they were expensive as hell new.

They did get the hardcore domestic guys to start considering imports, though.

Not true, when I had my FD3S in the mid-late 90's going to NJ Englishtown Racway the Supra was already dominating import drag 3/4 mile drag racing pushing over 800hp. Then again you were probably drinking from a baby bottle and craping in diapers in the late to mid 1990's Lol

Ah, Nope. I was in the USAF in the early 90's. Just deal with it. Not everybody is a Supra lover.

In my neighborhood. Supra and Celica were super popular since they were the hatchbacks. I would call them the 2nd most popular car to Puerto Ricans before the KING of imports to our people. As were the rwd corolla, when they were boxy. 240z, starion conquest, and then to the average Puerto Rican. The KING of all these cars is the Mazda Rx7. They've been popular on the island and in NYC as long as I can remember. Way before F&F. But different cultures respect different things at different intervals.
