The cost to purchase and modify a supra

[driver.111]

So was my 35K estimate accurate? Also, you mention the fact that mustangs are more easily modified than supras. If, for instance, a 675whp Supra and a 700whp mustang raced in a 1 mile straight line, wouldn't the supra win due to its light weight (compared to a mustang at least)? Or would pure horsepower prevail. This is a hypothetical situation so their is no "true" answer. For 1/4 mile races and "highway pulls" alike, would mustangs be better performers?

I'm sorry to say there are waaaay too many variables for me to say with certainty that $35K is either too much or too little. It's probably 'in the ballpark', depending on whether you get new or used parts, and whether or not you're willing to put in the time to learn how to properly do your own labor.

Imho, most likely the Supra would win in a 1 mile race with similar HP, because of lower aerodynamic drag, better top-end gearing, and the fact that turbos perform better on the top end. For 1/4 mile races, mustangs usually have the edge (but not always!). From a roll, Supras usually have the edge...
