The supras are built to drive at high speeds for long periods of time, the reason they weigh so damn much is to increase handling at high speeds amongst other reasons relating to the performance of the car combined with it's ability to be TOTALLY AWESOMLY FAST!!! if the car was light it would get to a high speed and do what alot of drag cars do and poof! it's in the air, lol...

i bought my 87 turbo last thursday in Edmonton. drove it back to Vancouver (12+hours). I made it in exactly 10 hours to the ferry to Vancouver Island. these cars are FAST stock. well I do have a 3" stainless exhaust and K&N filter.

I had the speedo buried at 155mph.. 245km/h. it wanted to go faster, but since I had only been driving it for an hour or so at this point, I figured that was fast enough for the first day. I dont trust the tires on it much anyways. when I get the new ones mounted Ill take it back up there. 8 )

nope. wouldnt lessen the rigidity, thats what the strut bar is for. carbon fiber is to be a strong lightweight material. why bother, when you can just go fiberglass for less. it might not be as strong, but why would you be putting stress on the hood anyway??
