man, theres not many NICE supras, IE Ray’s. Yes, THOSE ones are tough to come by. Supras in general are around. Hell, I see more supras than, say Gremlins, Sunnys, GT-R(skylines), Zondas. You know what? Technically the R32 dub is more rare than Supras. Cuz im sure as hell more than 5000 Supras were produced. You can find a Supra thats all uglified because some kid with a rich daddy has one, but I still cant call it a rare car. Obviously, theres less of them than Camrys, Civics and the like. But rare? :nono no, sir.

I’ve seen more lambos in the area than supras, does that mean that lambos are not rare? NO! And I’ve never personally seen a riced out supra. People that have enough cash to get a supra are usually not complete idiots and do them up right.

Are you seriously telling me you see more supras driving around than R32s?? I see an R32 maybe twice a month (maybe even more since I dont really look for them). Supra, maybe once or twice a year. Dont start comparing production numbers between two cars that are 10+ years apart. You justification is insane.

Wait, “R32 dub” as in VW R32?  
I have to agree, those are not rare cars at all.

But I do see quite a few Supras around here also.  
Or probably more accurate, the same few repeatedly.

ive never seen a skyline in the area. i see a red supra with an older guy driving here on state st and pearl st, pretty often. maybe comparing production numbers for different cars like that is not a good plan, but how many supras are there left vs how many R32’s? more people are driving R32’s because theyre not as posh as supras for maintenance and people arent trying to save the miles on them because of this supra hype in the air.

so, ones you dont see on roads a lot, right? well, even if that is, supras are around, people just dont drive them that much, but it doesnt mean “rare”. rare is low production numbers on regular cars, right? driven or not, if theres only 5000 produced(R32 as an example), to me thats rare. I think theres been a lot more than 5000 Supras produced.

stop looking at production numbers for cars that are 10+ years apart!!! No one cares about NA supras. there were only 6977 turbo supras sold. I’ll put any amount of money down saying that there are more R32s on the road then turbo supras.
