The Supra is hands down a better performance vehicle. To begin with, it is RWD, vs FWD for the Celica. Also if you compare the top of the line Supra vs. the top of hte line Celica, it would be like comparing a Corvette to a Cavalier, they are just not in the same league. The Celica is a sporty looking, peppy, economical FWD car. I like the looks of the Celica, and it is a pretty good car, but performance-wise the Supra is in a whole other class.
The fastest Celica in straightline performance would be the 2000-2005 GTS model, which travels from 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds in manual form. This is much slower than both the turbo (6.9 seconds)and twin turbocharged Supra (5.1 seconds) , but slightly faster than the older naturally aspirated Supra (the 86 does it in 8.8 seconds).
But even the slower Supra will still handle better than the faster Celica due to its RWD setup.
PS- The 1st person to answer said that the SUpra is just a souped up version of the Celica.. Although it was originally based on the Celica, by 86 it became its own class of car, and is totally different.
And to answer your question as to what year to get, the late 90's twin turbo version is the most highyl sought after version because of the twin turbo motor, and more sporty look, but you will pay a premium for this car. To find one in good condition expect to pay around $20,000. Modified versions are even more, some selling upwards of $100,000!!
Hope this helps.

first off let me say the supra is made for power. The 2jz engine is capable of 1000hp easily if tuned correctly. Their are so many aftermarket parts for the supra. Its a very rare and aggresive car. The celica on the other hand is not great. My opinion it puts toyota to shame. Defenitely buy the supra. You will be much happier. Supras are very reliable supercars.
good luck

well a supra is a supped up version of a celica, kinda like a trans am and firebird, but they stopped making supra's in 2002. the 99 supra looks better than the celica, and its faster, but the 200 celica is a different body style much cooler and faster. for the same year and same price i'd go with the supra. but personally, there are much better cars for the same price out there. i like the eclipse better.
