A single turbo MKIV Toyota Supra is most definately a super car. Stock, I agree it isn't. The stock engine internals are beyond and above super car status, factory short block record is 952 RWHP LOL, thats stock crank, rods and pistons. Also Toyota still races and sells the MKIV supra in Japan. For 15-25K you can get a MKIV supra, install a downpipe, catback and boost controller and say hello to a viper eating 400-450RWHP with factory stock reliability. About $1k in mods nets 100-150 rwhp. A big single or HKS twins on a MKIV makes it just about unbeatable on the freeway. "Super cars" look like chevettes in comparison, beating a big displacement crotch rockets in the top end is actually rather easy. If you don't think the MKIV supra is a super car, your ignorant about cars PERIOD! I just wish my old MKIII supra went like a MKIV. I have way to much fun riding gun/ running camera in my buddies BPU++ MKIV. On the freewyay viper R/t's, Z06's, Mustang Cobra's and today's imports are zero match for a lightly modded supra, multiple busses 70-180mph. The supra is similer to the Titan in that superior engineering gives it the edge, near perfect gear ratio's and an engine that is that just makes you go hmmmm. Somebody show me evidence of another stock short block engine that can spin the dyno to 952rwhp, maybe the RB26DETT powered Nissan Skyline GT-R, thats about it. Guess the Skyline GT-R isn't a "super car either hehe.
