i went back to the MK3 toyota supra because it is an economical, RWD, powerful platform to build from..proper exhaust upgrades and a filter will yeild 80rwhp over stock, and the stock turbo is upgradeable to be good to around 425 rwhp, the other supporting mods arent expensive at all either, a fuel pump, regulator, injectors, mass air, intake/exhaust, a tuning apparatus, and a couple other little knick knacks, all in all, i can do those mods, put some MK4 wheels with 275 50 17 nitto's and be able to rip off low 12 second, high 11 second slips with 115-118 mph trap speeds, with a total investment of about $4000, including the cost of my vehicle ....whether or not i do the mods is a different story, i like supra's cause they are a nice cruiser that does'nt have the severe lack of torque a 4 cyl suffers from, although not as ballsy as a V8, a turbo 6 is an excellent comprimise
