Maybe in the 1/8th, 'pushrod kid' ... but somehow I don't think cars were invented to race a stone's throw and then shut down to sip a bud.

Tony, thanks for your kind words & support...

Imo, 700hp of turbo, because that typically means even more hp is as simple as turning up the boost (and adding some octane).

Yes, and when an APU MkIV Supra runs 29+psi of boost, it's a virtual 9.0+L. I agree the comparison is unfair.

You don't need a turbo that spools at 7k to make 600hp.

Yes, but who races in the lag portion of the rpm band? Answer: Nobody, ever.

At the very least 600hp, together with a lightweight hydro-formed chassis, would make the MKV Supra Turbo competitive with the C6 Z06. Imho, there's nothing wrong with the current structure/geometry...

If the 2jz-gte came with bigger sequential turbos and water/meth injection from the factory, there'd be no need to go to a different engine OR for the owners modify their cars to put down 600hp. With...

Let's follow the ball here. Are you saying that a '98 camaro z28, modded, could put an Mkiv Supra Turbo, modded, "to shame" on a roadrace track? If so, please present your basis for that assertion.

Ok, pick one...any full production car from the early '90s that sold for under $100K.

No, but the designation "supercar" on it's own isn't worth a hill of beans, imo. Even you agree a "moddy Supra" could take a brand new c6 z06. As non-technical as this thread is, it seems to be...

Ok, I'm glad you now appear to agree that it is possible to modify an Mkiv Supra Turbo to keep up with a stock c6 z06 on a roadrace track.

Now all we're talking about is money...as you say...

You may be talking about the new c6 vette, but that's comparing apples to oranges as they say. Let's compare what was available when the Mkiv Supra TT came out in '93 to get a fair comparison.

I'm pretty sure the C6 Z06 sells for about $75K or so. Fwiw, that's not what I'd call "cheap" unless you're comparing it to an Enzo...

Why? Imho, they should stick to the 1000hp-capable 2jz-gte....
