Supras are dyno queens, just like vipers. You can see them throw out # like 2200hp with enough mods but as Fred said, how much of that can you really use on the street ?

Unless you're planning on running slicks as your daily tires, or even as your weekend ride, its just not going to put that 908hp down on the ground. From what I've seen in the import world, 450-550hp seems to be the magic # of fast to fun ratio. Anything more than 600hp and you're talking about racing clutches, traction problems, ect ect. Its just not worth it.

A 400hp Boxster (X51 swap) makes it one of the funnest cars around to drive. Roughly
7.3 lb / hp.

My humble opinion. Ruf seems to agree.
