And yes, the economy killed a bunch of those cars. I looked it up the other day, I believe, inflation adjusted a '96 Supra Turbo would be approaching $80k in today's dollars.

So in '96 for half the cost of Supra, you could buy a 310hp V8 Camaro. I realize it's not a good comparison on fit/finish/etc, but just on PPOOOWWAAAHHHH.
That's been highly debated, even had a thread over on Supraforums on that matter.

Right, it was a pretty expensive car, even the NA turd. I believe the Japanese NA base version was around $6.5k cheaper than the U.S. or $11.7k in todays money.
