I guess I'm only going of TRD's train of thought. The 3000GT which is basically a Supra with a TRD kit takes it name from the 2000GT. The 2000GT was Toyota's first supercar and I highly DOUBT anyone would call the Celica a supercar. Most think of the Supra as Toyota's second supercar. Furthermore it was the ENGINE that set the Supra and the Celica apart. One could argue that the Supra was just an offshoot of the Celica however many still think of the Supra as the second coming of the 2000GT.

Furthermore the 2000GT has an admirable racing history. As does the Supra. The 2000GT is a VERY treasured classic. It has limited production numbers and sells at auctions for over $100,000. Sounds like a Supra of the past to me.
