No unfortunately not TT, Im very happy with it love the looks and it sounds gorgeous,

Its not as powerful as the skyline but after driving both i prefer the na engine. It just feels more rewarding to drive. TBH I would be quicker driving a manual Gpx down a wet/bumpy road than the supra.

The only problem ive had was the front is way too low, Ive raised it slightly on the coilovers but its a little high on the front so i need to either raise the back a bit and look slightly jeepish or modify/change the front bumber.

I always imagined non turbo supras to be a bit of a cop out over the "real thing" a TT but its not at all.

I was never a fan of the interiors but its soo driver centered its grown on me quite a lot

Love Supras! So nice to drive! Quite similar to FTO. Love that feeling of the centre console surrounding you! Like you're in your own private jet! 8)
