IMO, it depends on the color. . .
A close friend has a '94 in White. It looks nice but I wouldn't break my neck trying to get a glimpse of it. . . However, the same car in the metallic silver or that electic blue is absolutely stunning
. . .
Incidentally, a few years ago I thought about getting a new one in silver metallic (it reminded me of a much sportier version of my Prelude) but I opted against it because I didn't like the way the targa top was bolted on and I couldn't really see over the hood (high belt line). . .
However, you don't buy a Supra TT for its paint color!!!! And you definitely don't walk away from buying one because of a few (very) minor quirks!!!
Supras are meant for SPEED!!!
An example, my same friend is able to do the 1/4 mile in 11.25-11.5 @ 119-121mph at ease with the stock turbos!!! In addition, while we were racing on the Garden State Parkway, he was able to pull away from me as if I had my Prelude in neutral (I was going 120mph at the time)!!!
Something to think about. . .

I'm looking at a blue one, very nice, a lot of miles (they insist they're pure highway miles). But if I got the engine rebuilt and new turbos, I'd break less than even with a S2000 (price-wise). Tough decision. But I'll probably just stick with the yellow s2k because it's more rare and stunning (plus it's new). Just getting some input. Thanks. If i got the supercharger it could take the twin turbos i'm pretty sure

I raced a slightly modded Supra TT a couple of weeks ago. I think they are awesome cars as well. They carry a whole lot of potential for mods.
So going back to the race, The Supra never got ahead of me, simply because of the aggressive driving I was doing, but I know if we had a two lanes open and we were side by side, the Supra would have taken the S2000.
They are monsters....IMO
