for example, an E30 M3 is much slower and handles worse and brakes worse than your F80 M3.......but is and will always be far, far, far, FAR more desirable than your F80 M3. If you both in front of me i wouldn't even look at the F80 M3 and i'd drive the E30 M3.
Statistics and specs and on-paper performance are not reasons to love cars. It's their imagination, their feel, the way they look, the personality and character they have.
Unfortunately most modern cars lack anything remotely resembling character, hence comments like yours that negate people preferring older cars.
A Lamborghini Hurrican Performante may run rings around a Lancia Stratos, but NOBODY CARES because the Stratos is an all time classic and way beyond anything any modern supercar could ever be. It's called being timeless. Not to be evaluated as apples to apples.
So back to the point, the last gen Supra captured people's imaginations. In a way this current fast appliance could never.
