If you guys had to choose, which car would you keep if you had to get rid of one? The Supra or the IS-F?

If I could only keep one, it would be the IS-F but my case is a little different than most. I have a spinal cord injury which makes two footed driving at the track next to impossible. Right foot is fine, left foot is sketchy, so paddle shifters make all the difference for me.

I seriously thought about putting a cage in the Supra and turning it into a track car before my injury.

Wow, this thread brings back memories. Those photos are of my IS-F brand spanking new, just a couple hours after I bought it. In regards to which car would I keep, I would have to go with the Supra. I love the timeless looks and the incredible potential, (even though I have barely tapped into it...currently putting down about 457 RWHP where as some are well over 1000 RWHP), and sentimental value to me. I love the ease of the IS-F but I know one day I'll let it go and upgrade to a different daily driver. The Supra, no matter how obsolete it maybe, it'll always be in my garage...Darshana S...

Strange I know you've had your IS-F longer than mine but this is the first time I saw this thread....love the Supra. It's one of Japan's few timeless sport cars. I would love to have a white Supra to complete my Japanese powerhouse collection but my wife won't allow it for sure...haha

The Supra is among a select few elites that I consider along with the RX7, NSX, s2000 and 3000GT VR4

I might as well join in on the fun. I just purchased a couple of weekends ago a 2010 IS-F to go along with my 97' Supra. Below are a few pics but taken with my iPhone. I have pics from my regular camera that I haven't uploaded yet...

That is a hard question to answer...I've had 14 Supra's and 2 ISF's and I love them both for VERY different reasons.

Supra - I love the fact that I can have 1,000 rwhp and it's reliable (relatively speaking)...I love the way it looks...I love the way it sounds...I love having something that has such extreme potential that I know I can wrench on myself if needed.

ISF - the ultimate daily IMO...she is a bit stiff to drive 20k miles/year but she looks damn good, has great power/torque and is Toyota reliable.

I couldn't choose just one...but I will tell you that I'm looking to sell the Supra and get into a Gallardo and do a TT kit...
