I dont seem to see alot of mention towards the king of japan, the 4th generation supra. I know alot of you guys now they are fast, but I dont think you really know how god awfully fast they can be with minimal amounts (or if you're crazy) huge amounts of money. 320hp 315lbs tq inline six twin sequential turbos 6 speed 0-60 4.8-5.3 1/4th 13.1-13.4 lateral G's on a skidpad .98 . The motor is capable of making sickening amounts of HP on a stock motor (camshafts being the only addition), so far the top "dawg" is making 851Rwhp which translates to over 1000hp @ flywheel on a stock bottom end. I know it isnt only about speed in a straight line, but for a road course this car is an animal. The car is discountinued , but there are alot of low mileage 98's that deserve a chance. The only other car I can think of is a GS300 or SC400 with a 2Jzgte motor swap from the supra and BPU (basic performance upgrade 400-430rwhp) the motor which would be a true performer. Mr Jza80
P.S. A supra out performs a skyline in every aspect, and the only thing a skyline has on a supra is AWD and alot of hype from people who havent driven it. Stock numbers say the supra abuses it.
