in 2007/2008, 14's are a joke. In a few years, 4 door family cars will be running 13's, while getting 27.5mpg.
The only difference between the twin turbo and the "twin turbo R" is that the R stands for Recaros
. Also, 7M version of the same car usually ran a 15 flat. Aaaandd one more thing...the fastest Japanese car of 1988 is the MkIII Turbo A, completely different car though. Also, not very impressive at all by todays standards
You're right though, 268 HP is a shitload for a basic car like that, and I think its great. However, the more power these new cars make and the more electronics and restrictions they run in to, the harder they will be to mod and such.
Throw a cam and the holy trinity at the Camaro and see what it runs then. Hell a full turbo back exhaust and intake on a MkIII Supra is 100 crank HP.
