I've owned 3 MR2 Turbos highly modded, and an MKIV Supra with a T-88. What an amazing car that was, spinning the wheels in high third gear and hanging with 1000cc bikes at the 1/4 track was a blast. Never had a single issue either with it, an absolute tank.

Toyota just fell off in 1998 with the death of the Supra in NA, they haven't made a fun car for our market since. I've been looking into the idea of getting a RH drive import, but need to do more research. I guess there's a certain time limit which must pass before the cars can be imported to the USA. I'd love to get a late generation All-Trac or Supra MKIV. Newer cars, especially BMWs, don't interest me. I'll keep my Z4M until the wheels fall off, then that's it for me and BMWs. The new ones are pigs and piles of garbage. BMW engineers can't seem to make a water pump/oil pump/turbos/bearings/anything last longer than 50k miles anymore.

The only thing which has saved me from massive BMW repair bills (blown S54 motors for instance) has been the warranty. I had to have been out of my mind to mod out my last 135i as much as I did, but it wound up being a great car for the 55k miles for which I owned it. I won't be touching anything motor wise in my latest Z4M, except for probably replacing the rod bearings out of precaution at 60k miles(!!!). What a joke.
