I'd probably get it for the engine, seats, wing, wheels, and other accessories.

I wasn't going to either but I am just too Fast and Curious, so I went and got one. After all the negative press here, including mine, I must say I'm pleasantly surprised! Even if they didn't nail the body mods, and it is of course 1/25, which makes it fit in nicely with Revell's offerings. The engraving and detail are quite nice, the wheels are even an acceptable diameter. The shape of the body is way better than I expected, the pics don't do it justice. The tires have V groove tread as the modern ones have from Aosh and Fuj, the dash has a cross hatch carbon pattern in the binnacle area. 4 bucket seats are seperate with seatbelts molded in, two NOS tanks, roll bar, amps and a big gauge for the dash are seperate pieces, subs are molded in a box behind rear seats. The engine is complete with snorkle tube and twin turbo's, a good start for a detailed engine bay. The chassis has plenty of parts for detail and front wheels will steer. The cooling holes in the hood are molded shut but the hood is thin, the rear wing uprights are nice but the wing is weak eventhough it isn't thick and bulky.
Pics when I get home, by then someone else will prolly beat me to it.

AMT Supra compared to the almighty Tamiya which is only 1/8" wider than the AMT! Fitment of the parts appears to kick Revell's ass, and Fujimi aren't even close. AMT wheel is compared to an XS Tuning wheel. One pic shows the AMT hood on the Tamiya Supra.

For the seats, wheels, engine, nitrous, and other stuff... it's worth it. Seeing as how 'Detal Masters' sells nitrous bottles for about $10, this kit comes with the bottles and alot of other stuff and it'll cost maybe $15 so I guess it's a good buy. I'll get one.
