Given that you will have then removed 90% of what makes it a MKIII (unreliable, fat cow) yes, it'll probably rock!

A mk3 supra isn't that heavy. You just need to find the right car to compare to like a 2012 Fisker Karma weighing in at 5300lbs.

According to MotorTrend it's only 4100lbs; Car and Driver estimates 4300lbs.... BUT with over 400whp electric.... keep looking.
