Well, as a believer in the Supra, I don´t think they thrashed my car just by driving a little bit too fast where they shouldn´t. Done it myself, so I don´t hink it should make any differense to the car.
What I do know is that lots of cars couldn´t keep up with the Supra, among them, the Escort Cosworth in the movie. It´s engine broke down right after the movie, and it hasn´t been on the road since. Lots of money where put in that car I might add.
What I had to do, was to change the clutch, witch was stock when they shot the movie. I had some small trouble with the stock clutch before the movie, and by the time they were finished it was totally useless. Naturally, I bought the TRD Twin disc
I got what I demanded from them to have my car in the movie, but that is classified (not that much, but what mattered to me was a little bit of fame and a lot of apreciation from other car enthusiasts and especially Supra owners) That is worth alot IMHO.
In Sweden, there aren´t alot of money in the "car show" industri and one should be glad for any kind of apreciation anyway.
It hope I have contributed something for the Supra community, and made people realise what the Toyota Supra can do.
I have not been stoped by the cops due to the movie, but I´ve got quite many angry looks from them after the movie was shot
I´m sorry for any miss spellings in the text above.
