For what it's worth, I believe that we should give 1993suprawr the benefit of the doubt. On a forum like this, through our Supra 'brotherhood' (and 'sisterhood too, where appropriate), we can share not only technical solutions, but positive coaching in other areas like driver training, honing skills through practicing on race tracks, and the best approaches to safely deal with horsepower increases. Even without us, 1993suprawr will very likely still find a way to make his already-very-capable already-modified GT sportscar even faster. If we turn him away, we'll probably loose our only opportunity to help him get on the right track. I really have seen some very young Supra owners mature extremely quickly and become very positive members of the Supra community when they were given a chance to particpate. Just my two cents.

haha yeah i like that guy haha he knows what hes talking about, i've only had the car for 2 weeks so like ppl just chill just takesa lil practice and everyoens safe around me so yeah dont worry

[1993suprawr]

pwpanas wanna take a look at the car i bought YouTube - WWW.TYEEIMPORTS.COM SUPRA MK4 WALK AROUND and tell me what u think of it and if i should supe it and what not, does it look alright or like did i just waste my money :S i donno but if u could check it out would be cool, and thanx, i dont really know much of its past cause the guy that owned it was from tokyo japan but from what i can tell im pretty sure he used to drift i think:S i donno tho haha and what sort of modifications should i do first and eventually add on alot more slowly

[1993suprawr]

roll on a highway yeah that works better rather than a dead stop although even say im at a red light and some guy comes up with a car and wants to race and ijust want to smoke them haha so thats what i basically meant and 600rwhp sounds good so yeah that one the viper dude bought the car for only 42,000$ so i cant imagine it being somethign outrageously amazing..but im pretty sure 520 at the crank

600rwhp is A LOT, close to 700 at the crank. I really, really dont think that would be too fun to drive if it is your daily driver. Different mods will make it more 'drivable' than others. definitely important if you drive this thing to work or something.

You'll need a pretty big budget for 600rwhp. This means a fuel system upgrade and a full single turbo upgrade. You'll likely also need wider rims & rubber to make sure that the power can be put to good use. Add in installation costs, the fact that you want it to continue to look great, tuning costs, some track time, race fuel, etc. and I'd say at least $15000 USD is a budget that could get you into the ballpark of what you're looking for. Please let me know if that's a completely unrealistic figure for your budget, and we'll scale back the rwhp until it fits with your budget. If that's not a problem, we'll start getting into the specifics.
