The Supra is the highest build quality, most reliable, tuning friendly car ever made. Add in low production #s for the TT/6sp combination and the movie fame and there isn't much else to 'get'. There were better track cars (RX7, NSX) but for the non-track enthusiast the Supra dominated the hearts and minds in the turn of the century tuning phase for pretty simple reasons. Pick a car from that time that isn't an NSX and do a 1v1 comparo and its virtues become apparent.
Also they didn't randomly choose the Supra for F&F 1 -- 90s tuners figured out pretty quickly that it was significantly faster than any other attainable car with minor upgrades. That's why the Ferrari scene in the first one had so much impact.
