240z, 260z, 280zx are also hard to pass up in the "bang for the buck" category... heck you could even go imported/domestic and swap a V8 into one of those bodies...

These guys have no imagination. How about this...
http://www.fallaclassics.co.uk/project_cosworth.htm
It's a 1978 MGB with the following specs:
2 litre RS Cosworth turbo injection
Garrett turbocharger with Escort Cosworth compressor housing and impellor
18psi wastegate actuator
ECU managed
803 Green injectors
3 bar map sensor
330 bhp ‘BSW’ chip
MGB V8 dense core radiator
Twin Kenlowe heavy duty cooling fans
MGB 13 row oil cooler mounted in front valance
Estimated 0-60 sub 5.5 seconds
Top speed capability 150 mph
Check the link and pics. Nice car. If MG had built cars like this, they would still be in business.

you don't need to built a supra, just keep the stock 2jz-gte motor which has proven many times that the stock bottom end can handle power of up to 700+RWHP bone stock... with stock twins @ 20 psi, intake and exhaust is almost more than enough for someone who wants to experience what a supra can do.
Couple of guys (joe and chris locally that I know of) have gotten low to mid 11 second passes on stock twin turbos... but it depends on what you like - i like the idea of the 240 although nobody has given me a ride in an SR swapped 240 yet!!
