Default Help me decide!

Ok so lately I've been looking around for a faster car to fix up. So far I've come down to a 89-91 toyota supra turbo or a 89-91 honda crx si. I want to list some pros and cons of each and just wanted to know If I'm on target.

89-91 Toyota Supra Turbo:

-Stock turbo (so fast stock)
-More stock luxery items (P/W, P/L, etc.)
-more bang for the buck speed wise. (About 2-4k for a decent supra, but also seems a lot easier to tune and make faster since it comes with a turbo)
-RWD

89-91 Honda Crx Si

-Seems like more options for customization.
-Lighter
-Better on gas (Is this true even if I turbo it as long as I baby it?)

Those seem to be the pros of both. It seems like the only thing a crx has over a supra would be it's weight and gas mileage, which I'm not sure would be worth it after all the money I'd want to put into it to get it up to my hp goals.

anything helps. Thanks!

is this a trick question?
if your going for fast a honda should be the last thing on your minda, honda not being set up for a turbo would probably take more to make it faster never tried it though so cant say for sure.

supra or turbo.....hmmm


supra of course. your question should be, Do i wanna be a ricer, who in my opinion gives the car world a bad name, or a own a car that lives up to its name. You decide.

but you forgot the main con of the supra......BHG
