You are notready to have a high HP car then. Just so you know you will always have to dump money into any car with high HP. It is a ever ending money pit. Parts wear out faster things break or you get used to the feel and want more. Say thing happend with my Evo. I did bolt ons got used to the car then went to a bigger turbo, I hated the way the car drove and sounded but I wanted more power with in a month and I had just make a just of nearly 100WHP and i was bored of it that fast.

I would have spent another $5-$6k with in a few months if I kept the car. This after already spending aroud $10k on it.

At 700WHP you will have this happen often. Hell at 500HP this is what happens. The car does not matter. If money isnt the issue buy a car like a C6 zo6. There are not many cars that will hang and it is bone stock street form and they rip aparts road courses and auto X.

Really dont want an american car, and besides that gets rid of the fun of actually building the car, i guess i'll have to settle or part replacement, besides i want a car that beats zo6's not copies them i guess i cant have reliablity and performance i suppose i'll just have to take them both lol and i also found a 5 speed n/a supra for 13 grand, but its all the way out in California, and i was really hoping to get the 6 speed model if the tranny is as good as you say

Dont buy any NA supra. YOu will have a hard time making power. It will require ALOT of work. If you want to beat C6Zo6's you are going to need ALOT of power they only weight 3100lbs and the cars you are talking about have half the engine and weight 300-600 more lbs.

I think your goals for a car are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to unrealistic. You can have power, Drivablitly, Reliablitly, and a a good price all mixed together. generally you have to pick two of the 4. Just go read on Supraforums or EvolutionM about how many people say Ehh I had more fun on stock turbos. I am one of them and I always though those people were crazy but I found out why they all say that after I did it to my Evo

ok well as far as the supra's go, no N/A ones got that, and i believe they come in twin turbo and single turbo right? do both of those have the 6 speed tranny or just the TT model?

they only come in Twin Turbo in you are looking at the 93-98 MKIV model. The older ones were single turbo. THe MKIV came with either a 6 speed or auto for the TT model. If it is single turbo it means it is a modded car. You make more power on one big turbo vs two tiny ones. The stock Twin Turbos can get you to about 450WHP with simple mods.
