If it's not a the TT Supra then don't bother. The Camaro would be just as fast as a stock TT Supra, maybe even slightly faster.

graduation from high school??
well i assume your parents are buying it and you dont have your own insurance policy, must be nice. correct me if i am wrong.
easiest to afford, cost and insurance wise, would be the IS. throw in a 2JZ-GTE and supra six speed. that would be a pretty sweet car.
i would personally want the anniversary camaro, but finding one for less then new car price will prove to be a mission in itself.
in a perfect world, with money being no object of course, 93+ supra tt. but you can thank Universal Pictures for the hefty price tag. i wish you the best of luck finding a turbo thats in good shape for under 30k.
the lightning would be a fun truck for sure. but the insurance on those particular trucks, especially the 01-04 is really high. only plus to that choice, relatively cheap, and easy to find low mileage.

but IMHO, what you will pay for last three, you could easily get a new car. plus new car benefits, warranty, finance incentives, knowing that the only beating on the car is from you.

Supra.....

But good luck finding a halfway decent, non-ragged out, even remotely stock 93+ Supra TT. And if you do find one that's not beat to hell and somewhat stock, it'll be a gem, and the owner will know that.....and it'll be expensive as hell.

why not just get a new car, i think it's stupid to get an older car like the ones you mentioned, theyre almost guaranteed to be beat on.

Why are these your choices? if you are gonna spend the money to get any of these vehicles why not spend it on somethin you know has not been beaten on such as a new SS/TC i mean the money you will spend on any of these vehicles will be comparable to the pricetag on a TC. JMO

Camaro... Really easy to make power with a Chevy V8... Huge aftermarket, lots of mods, relatively cheap, RWD, Many power adders available... But I guess it just comes down to what you like... Thats my .02

I dunno.

All the cars you listed have probably been beat on and more. If you're getting the car as a grad present I would find something new.
