I say, if you all are car enthusiats, Dont argue about so and so's opinion, because its just that, a matter of opinion. But what you should try to do is help each other...

Spend the time and money on a good MKIII and develope it for more HP if you must OR put an MKIV twin turbo motor in it. Probably less trouble and a 10 times better piece of machinery.

OR...put the GM in it, paint the car with some nice NASCAR colors and sponsers, crack yourself a budweiser, grow a mullet, and admire the nicest car in the trailer park.

First off some people dont have the means or the money to buy japanesse parts. im in the prosess of dropping a ford twin turbo 427 stroker motor in an 86 supra. mainly because i dont understand japs engines. i love the body of the supras, it is a good looking car but it will be a lot easier for me to understand how to work on an american made motor. so u have no right to be calling americans motors pieces of crap. maybe we are rednecks but we are rednecks that will walk all over your ass. so my point is that ur opinion means what to who?

i went on to read the rest of the post and cooled myself down about what u said but if u are going to make fun of someones idea make sure people dont take it the wrong way.

Sorry...I'll be more careful next time so as not to hurt anyones feelings.

I guess I'm just a purist. I also don't think if you put a Toyota engine in a Mustang it is a Mustang anymore.

who said anything about a supra motor in a mustang, u may be right if it was a turbo supra and a stock mustang. most people such as myself put american motors in foreign cars because of price to horsepower ratio. i think american motors are easier to work on.

ask yourself this: how much does a 600 horse supra motor cost over a american v-8?

Does any one know where i can find a supra hybrid forum becasue i could use useful information about how to do a supra engine swap?

Good luck finding a supra hybrid forum. It's probably not something to many people do.

My guess is if you try a Mustang or Cobra site they will tend to be a bunch of meanies like us and use insults like 'rice burners suck' and get all pissed of 'cause Toyota is in NASCAR.

Toyota is in NASCAR? Didn't know that. But then really don't follow it either. How are they doing against the USA big 3?

I don't follow NASCAR either but accidentally get exposed to it on Speed channel and Autoweek mag. Toyota has been in the truck series for a few years...don't know how they do. Toyota will be in the full-on Nextel Cup NASCAR series starting next sesion. Many of the "good ol' boys' are not happy about it because they think NASCAR is an American sport that should only have American cars. One of the popular drivers (can't remember who) is switching teams next year to drive a Toyota and many of his long time fans are even pissed of about it...like he's some kind of traitor. People are very passionate about 'their' cars, as is evident from this forum.

The rules are so tight however that all NASCAR cars are pretty equal so I don't see Toyota having a huge advantage outside the amount of money they will bring to the team.

Toyota is in Formula 1 with the biggest budget but still can't compete with Renault, Ferrari, and Mercedes. They don't have the experience yet.
