Now take this supra, put under one grand into it, and it will pull mid to low 13's, all with very simple bolt-ons. Now for a 20 year old car, you've got to admit, thats kickin'. Now take a '04 SRT-4 and but under one grand into it, and your still in the mid to high 13's (providing you buy the right parts, it's possible for lower). This is on an average of my little research binge this whole thread.

I could be wrong on one or two things, but I should have majority in line.

And I'll admit, I probably shot off without good standing ground to, and yeah, I probably looked like an idiot. Regardless, given the proper parts, my N/A Supra could still clock mid 13's.

I smell bullshit and a lot of hopes and dreams. Not saying it can't be done, but it can't be done with just under $1k put into it. Secondly the turbo option on that I believe went for a little more than 300-400. Don't mean to keep bustin your balls, but when you make a statement leave yourself a way out, with words like "I Hope to run 13's" or "I think it was only 300 - 400 not really sure".
