I've owned:

85 Supra Black Sun Roof

83 Supra Blue Sun roof

87 White Mkiii Hard top blown motor, put motor in it, sold it, doubled my money.

88 Marron Mkiii turbo automatic

"90" Mkiii Black with grey leather, targa top, almost done, just waiting for wheels and paint , Can wait to drive it with top off, wind in hair, tunes, fine fox in front and three more in the back and a good buzz.

Same, I have an early 89 with the 88 cross member/mounts, but the 6500 redline, ftw..!

I predict victory for the 88's. We're just that awesome.

88 is definitely the best year. People can argue but I will always think this.

...is 1988. This is why:
☼: Earlier Supras are lighter than later ones
☼: They are also more common (or rather, more were made)
☼: 6M crank
☼: Best pre89 spoiler. 86.5, 87, and N/A 89s had square third brake lights instead of trapezoidal badass ones
☼: Pre89 spoiler also gives the car a .32 drag coefficient; .33 for no spoiler, .34 for 89+
☼: Power steering isnt progressive
☼: Coolant temperature has dashes on the gauge. 89+ is all like "wat."
☼: Front end looks better. The grille looks far better, the turn signals, and just everything together makes it look better. I used to like the 89+ grill; when I was 15.
☼: Also the newest car with the above features
☼: Pre89 had prettier side mirrors
☼: Year of the Turbo A

However there are negatives:
☼: Taillights are ugly and require 89+ conversion immediately
☼: 6M crank
☼: 89+ 3 piece looks a bit better
☼: Not as new as 89+ (age, wear and tear, etc.)
☼: 91/92 wheels look a bit better I guess, but sawblades have grown on me. They look better in person and even more better (lol) when black
☼: Steering wheel is hideous but at least there arent airbags. 89+ 3 spoke is HOT. I wish I wouldve kept mine before I sold it.

* can't argue there, although 89+'s had more power/torque (not a giant amount, but it's there)..
☼: They are also more common (or rather, more were made)
* More 86.5's sold though, wooo
☼: 6M crank
* Damn straight!
☼: Best pre89 spoiler. 86.5, 87, and N/A 89s had square third brake lights instead of trapezoidal badass ones
* Spoiler would be nicer if it weren't the EXACT SAME one on my girlfriend's Corolla coupe. My 86.5 has an 89+ wing
☼: Pre89 spoiler also gives the car a .32 drag coefficient; .33 for no spoiler, .34 for 89+
* Yeah but it's oogglllyyy..
☼: Power steering isnt progressive
* Different strokes.......
☼: Coolant temperature has dashes on the gauge. 89+ is all like "wat."
* Anything above halfway and you better pull over anyway...
☼: Front end looks better. The grille looks far better, the turn signals, and just everything together makes it look better. I used to like the 89+ grill; when I was 15.
* Says you, Mr.! I like both...
☼: Also the newest car with the above features
* Que?
☼: Pre89 had prettier side mirrors
* In Japan and Europe, American pre 89 mirrors are the ugliest things ever conceived...
☼: Year of the Turbo A
*Yeah, but it was 89+ styled..:D

However there are negatives:
☼: Taillights are ugly and require 89+ conversion immediately
* Definitely, I swapped out the blue car's taillights less than 24 hours after buying the car..
☼: 6M crank
* It would be nice to have, I don't even redline, anyway..:D
☼: 89+ 3 piece looks a bit better
* Way better..
☼: Not as new as 89+ (age, wear and tear, etc.)
I've seen crappy examples of even 1991's, so it's not really an issue with the vehicle, it's an owner issue..
☼: 91/92 wheels look a bit better I guess, but sawblades have grown on me. They look better in person and even more better (lol) when black
* My 89 white package looks like a 91+, without the hideous airbag wheels!
☼: Steering wheel is hideous but at least there arent airbags. 89+ 3 spoke is HOT. I wish I wouldve kept mine before I sold it.
* I love my 89 wheel, I bought a TT-R momo wheel only to put it on the blue car because I love my 89 wheel that much..
