But, so what? It's still a Supra. And the Ferrari is still a Ferrari.

What a snob.

You think that just because it's made in Italy, it's red, and it is (oooohhh... let's all be appropriately reverent here) a F e r r a r i (oh, be still, my beating heart!) then it automatically is to be placed on some God-like pedestal and is incontrovertibly superior to any other form of mechanized transport ever conceived by man?

You remind me of the lady in my office who upon discovering the plans for the new line of very high end Volkswagens (with the W-12 engine, $85K price tags) said "That's ridiculuous. Who'd pay that kind of money for a Volkswagen!" like anything that says VW on it can only be a clone of a 1970's era Beetle.

So you take a Supra, spend enough money on it that you have maybe 20% of the price of the Ferrari it in... and all it does is look better, go faster, stop faster, corner better, operate much more reliably for a small fraction of the cost of upkeep, be more comfortable and fun to drive... but "So what? It's still a Supra. And the Ferrari is still a Ferrari."

Right.
