FRS with 15th Anniversary 97 Supra
Thought you might like to see some side by sides. Sorry these are iPhone shots. This is a 1997 15th Anniversary Supra. The stripes are aftermarket.

It really gives a sense of how cars have grown over the years (physically). The Supra was a big car back then (and a bit heavy) but it's close in size to the FR-S. Modern car building tech is impressive.

It's so funny, I always think of the MKIV Supra as being an absolute pig of a car, but it doesn't seem that much larger dimensionally than the FR-S. I can tell it's been lowered so that might skew it a little, but damn why does it have to be 3,400lbs? The sad thing is that 3,400lbs is hardly even that heavy anymore by today's standards. It does drive like a big car, though. Oh well, too rich for my blood anyways.

Well they are huge when you compare them to other sports cars from that era. The SW20 MR2 and FD3S RX-7 are dwarfed by the Supra, Z32 300ZX, or 3000GT. Yet if you park any one of those beasts next to a new Camaro or Challenger, they look tiny themselves! Cars just get bigger and bigger. One memory that really sticks in my mind was when I saw a 1989 Maxima parked next to a 1995 Maxima, parked next to a 2006 Altima. The Altima was bigger than the Maximas! The '89 Maxima is the same size as the modern Sentra, for cryin' out loud.
