I think people want the 86/BRZ to be the Supra because it looks better lol. I was asked the same thing by an older woman, but she flat out asked if it was the new Supra and that she loved it as she flamboyantly flailed her hand.

Should've bought a Muslcetang 392 Challenger Z06 Scatpack Mach Bullitt 1.

No one would laugh at you again as you drink your monster energy, wear snowboarding shades in the summer and drive with one hand, your left hand, at 2 o'clock while your right hand rests on the CVT gear selector pretending you have gears. For added effect, your car is now RHD.

Problem. Solved.
