I'm lucky, I can drive both. My dad owns a '98 TT Supra and if I want to drive it I just give him my Evo. He gets a kick out of driving it as well. They are def different cars but $25,000 is probably not enough to get a real good Supra. My dad had to pay almost $40K for ours back in Oct. '07 and it has 43,000 original miles. It is super clean but it was still abused a bit and needs a new clutch, but no big deal. For your money I would get a good used Evo and save up and get a Supra later on. Unless you have your heart set on a Supra. Both of them are amazingly capable and you can't go wrong with either one. Just keep an eye on mods and mileage. Good luck. 
There is NO saving money when you buy an EVO lol... saved money does not exsist. $25,000 can get you a nice well taken care of TT, it may not have LOW miles but oh well. I'll never sell it anyways so the mileage won't be getting any lower on either.

Oh yeah I agree with you. Its even worse when you have two toys to spend money on. Actually in my case I'll have three as soon as I buy the Supra from my dad. I would imagine you could get a nice Supra for that amount but my dad insisted on as low a mileage one as he could find. The price def skyrockets if you want low mileage and all original.

Let's throw this thread onto the Supra forums and see what they say.
I'd say Evo, but I mean c'mon...we're on the Evo forums. We're pretty much all going to say that.

Since I sold my Evo, I dearly miss it. I would prefer to have a nicely modified 350hp daily driver Evo than any other car except a new Z06 or GTR. Lambo's, Ferrari's are cool but are more luxury sports cars rather than raw beasts.
Supra- straight line fast, big HP on stock block, expensive to modify, holding value well.
Evo- cheaper to modify, better DD, handles better, cheaper interior pieces
Both are nice cars and rare to see where I live.
