A Supra brand new cost a lot more than a comparable year Mustang, the earlier Supras being cushy dogs and if you were shopping in the 80's and you had to choose a used Supra or a new Mustang you would choose a 4-5 year old Supra?
I don't think so.

Who was picking a CRX or Accord? I said Prelude.
And I said used Supra, not new. The Mustang didn't become a legitimate performance car until 1985, and by that point there were 3-yr old Supras on the market. Were they slower, sure, but they were better-looking and better-handling. And a Prelude was even better-handling.
Whatever...... There were a lot of other cars I would have rather spent the same $11,000 on than a Mustang. Are you saying that EVERYONE back in 1985 should have bought a Mustang, or else they weren't a true performance enthusiast? Why is speed alone the measure of performance? What about handling?
I guess speed isn't my biggest criteria.
Guess I'm not a true performance enthusiast.
