A vid of Orido in his old RS-R Mk4:



This FR-S may be less happy in a drift with a shorter wheelbase and more centralized mass.
Yes, that's Orido's #2 Supra (technically 3rd one, if you count his personal Supra). Orido used Supra from '05 D1GP. He wreck that car (#2) & made 3rd Supra, but while delivering that car to one of the event, the truck got into the wreck and never seen Orido w Supra in 2005. He came back to D1GP in '08 & '09 w IS250 & Aristo (once w Supra)... but never enter all the events, so was pretty much below 16 ranking.


but this year want to win the D1GP, so he bought another Supra again (4th one) and colored it Adavan Black & Red (like below).


Currently he's in 6th place overall... That's not bad for missing one event due to big wreck in practice run (@ Autopolis).

Anyways, back to your Q, cuz Supra is getting old & hard to come by now. Some of Supras are now in junk yard (you could say 1/3 of em). I have been to few junk yard and I've seen several Skyline, Silvia, Supra, Z, Evo, STI & all other sports car getting crushed into hunk of metal.

I think, I have show this pic here, but here's R32 (technically GTS-t) in junk yard.


That Skyline was my cousin's w swapped RB26 engine and fairly a lot of mods done to it... but after got in the wreck, it went to junk yard and left it there (prob crushed by now). All the JDM sports car is in junk yard waiting to be crushed.
