My brother and I got together and took some pics of our cars. His is a '98 Supra Twin Turbo. He is the original owner and it has 32k miles on it. He has done a myriad of mods over the years, 3 turbo systems, 2 sets of wheels, 3 exhaust systems, 3 engine management systems, etc.... Currently it's running HKS twins, Motec management with flex fuel E85. Makes 750whp on E85. It's a huge head turner wherever it goes with very subtle mods (until you open the hood). Me, I'm running ECS SC Kit with mild blower cam making 633whp on pump gas. Believe it or not, the Vette is lighter than the Supra even though it's bigger and since I have more torque we've never had enough room for him to run me down even though he has 100 more HP. ;-)
Seriously badass, that's awesome! Your bother doesn't look old enough to be the original owner of a '98 Supra, but that's so cool!
Also, need video of him trying to run you down.
Way cool and both are nice cars. My son, now 17 wants either a pre 2000 Supra or GTR. Neither a great 1st car IMO, but good taste at least. It's funny he doesn't really like my 02Z, but really likes pre 75 Vettes. Damn teenagers.
Great looking cars with some sweet mods! The picture of the C5 that is a side view near eye level gives a good perspective of the visibility with the tint. Do you know what % level it is?
Also good job with the pictures and background choices it worked great with the color of the cars.

I agree! Unfortunately the market says otherwise. He has been offered $75k for his. I probably couldn't get 25.
Too many of them hacked about or crashed. All that drifting. When I bought my C5, it was a toss up - the Supra turbo or the C5 - and the Mitsu VR-4 was also in the mix. But then the yen/dollar rates moved to the point that the Japanese cars were quite a lot more. The car they had stopped making by then which I also really liked was the FD series RX7 - a gorgeous looking car, fast and a lot of fun to drive.
As you say, financially, the Supra would have been the better bet, but I am not at all sure I would have hung on to it like the C5. And I suspect all the VR4's have gone to rust heaven.

Glad you clarified about the picture of the two young men with the cars. I know I'm getting old, but I'm looking at the picture and going "original owner" of a 20 year old car?! Your answer helped save my sanity (at least a little)
