It was the time period when they had relatively serious street/mountain racing issues. The manufacturers had their "gentleman's agreement". Now the great thing about Japan is that there is the "appearance of things" and "the way they are." I don't know about the Supra specifically, but the Evo you could buy, just about literally drive around the corner and pop in the big boy tune and you were literally off to the races.
Now though, at least on the GT-R they integrate GPS into the ECM. There's a top speed governor (like 100 or so) when outside of race tracks. Drive onto a racetrack and poof, limiter automatically removed.
