If you sell that Supra, PLEASE make sure it goes to a very loving home. No Craigslist bullshit.

Otherwise, the decision is all yours and I don't think you can go wrong either way.

A virgin Supra is an investment. A modded Supra was a great investment and probably will sell better now rather than later because of newer aftermarket parts availability and pricing. Just my 2 cents.

I'd so keep it.
It's a gorgeous car, and while the FRS have similarities, I know I would regret it if I let it go.
I had an '88 Celica and although Supra deserves it's own LEAGUE, I regret it.

You can go have fun on the twisties in the FRS and come home to a Supra there? Yes,please.

I don't usually go crazy over Supras, but that one looks gorgeous. Keep it!

I think you just need another 2JZ engine swap in the near future. Turns out, you already have a donor car.

My point is, if it's just sitting around currently, and will most likely sit around even more once you get the FR-S, there's not much point in keeping. I mean, sure sentimental value, pride, love. But if you've had it a while it's all become fairly familiar, I'd think. It's not 'new' anymore. If it's been sitting around a lot more than normal lately, and you can ask this question then I think the answer is pretty obvious. You probably should sell it. You might miss it, but the money you'd get from the sale would be quite useful. Maybe for the FR-S, maybe for something else. Maybe you can be boring and invest for retirement. Who knows.
he hasn't drove it in 4 months because
1) hes in canada
2) 10ft of snow during the winters there
3) salty roads

he hasn't driven it because he doesn't want to, its because he cant...

would you drive around on icy roads in -20 degree weather in a supra? especially 1 that nice? comon

If you don't think the price of insurance and garage space is worth it, then may as well sell it off now. Just a warning that it won't be worth however much the mods cost.

Do you go to track days often? If not, then it may just make sense to keep the FRS as your track car too.

Keep the Supra. You will regret it later if you sell it (financial status withstanding). Gives me joy just walking into the garage and seeing it.....

To keep your passion going, here are my babies from the 90's.
