Well some may like it, but I prefer to fly under the radar, which just isn't possible in a G!

Still working on some final details such as finishing the blacking out on the G and actually considering tinting the front windshield 50%. May do the same blacking out to the Supra and trying to get the front lip right on the Supra. Then the photo shoot will come... In the meantime you've got my cell no.

Decision has FINALLY been made - going to sell the H/T Supra and the TTZ and fill the two spots with the TT P-car (if timing of sale allows) and a built GTR over this winter/spring.

I see this question as a highly personal one.
My instinct was to say Supra, BUT... reading your commentary... I say unload the Supra.
I think most of the respondents are putting themselves into your position and then coveting what is without a doubt a pretty rare thing (an unmolested MK4)
BUT... I think in a case like this better advice is trying to help someone figure out what *they* want to do.
What *I* would do with your money is pretty irrelevant. What *you* want to do is what matters and, to me, it sounds like you'd prefer to let the Supra go. I think you're a mod minded guy and a bone stock car that is just kind of languishing isnt your thing.
Sell Supra, keep Z06, get 996, have fully modded stable, drive all of them as much as you can (prob not much
)

)Personally, if you're not a collector... The fact that a Z06 is a dime a dozen and a virgin Supra is rare really doesn't matter. The point the OP was making was that he doesnt use the Supra at all and doesnt feel any satisfaction from a car that sits doing nothing (I do "get" that). And "collectors cars" really are just losing money non-stop, so if you dont get pleasure out of owning it, it is pretty pointless to preserve a museum piece for someone else.
All of that said, he made a (surprising, IMO) decision and the 1000HP Z06 is going bye bye.
With that stable, I'd have unloaded the virgin Supra, the more I think about it. I like modded cars and putting a personal touch on cars. I also don't like feeling that if I drive the thing, it is somehow going to ruin it since the *only* real value the thing has is that it is a pristine original. There is already a beast Supra in that stable, and now there is a heavily modded 911 coming too. The little virgin Supra really stands out in that collection, IMO. Everything is a fire breathing monster heavily modded with time slips getting posted and then there is a Supra sitting doing pretty much nothing.
It isnt that far from Ferris Bueller (Cameron's dad with his Ferrari museum in the house) which sounded like it rubs the OP the wrong way. Maybe he'll change his mind
If u have a ttG why do u need a tt z06 haha, in all honestly that low mile supra will sell for more then that z06 down the road and even more that its stock! To me a corvette is for wealthy people who want a fast car but doesnt have any car education(thats why they are all over). How many supras do u actually see on the road compared to z06s. Dont get me wrong the z06 is a beautiful,amazing car! But your supra is one of a kind!! Sell the z06 and if u ever are sad and miss it just go for a ride in the lambo lol
