99 Z28 vs Supra
Poopras for 160mph+ racing on the highway. 
I do agree with what someone said here. Alot of people build these cars for the wrong reasons. Mostly for bragging rights...Putting a gigantic turbo that you will not enjoy very much on the street because of excessive lag and no traction on street tires is useless. Not to mention most of these high power cars need to run on 116+ octane ALL THE TIME that's easily in the $12/gall+ range. Not exactly my idea of a street car.
I do love what the cars can do though in the proper hands.
Good kill OP.

Down side is it's not inexpensive(initial cost for a clean one and parts), it's not light, and it has a hole in its low rpm power band if you are shooting for 1000 RWHP #'s.
There are exceptions to the above but there is only so much you can do with a small/med ci motor.

I see no reason to go any bigger than a gt35r (or the likes) with a 2jz supra. Awesome power band, good numbers, and a powerful setup that's good on the 1320, roadcourse, and street. The T88s out there can perform decently, if you have the budget for a 3.4 stroker crank, a rediculous valvetrain and cams (nothing wrong with launching at 6000 if you can shift past 9000
), or spray off the line.

Now if you are implying decent road course rides, that I agree with.
Don't post up your all Japan GT series Poopras either as those are a whole different species of animal.

They never were (and never will be) great road course cars, regardless of the turbo size/setup.

Yes, by a wait for it, a Poopra owner/defender of course!
Why we can't let a dearth of worship go on for too long on the indomitable and infallible pride of Japan supacar, now can we??

But lets all remember, if we lived in a world without Superchargers, Turbos, and NOS, and all we had were the engines, The Supra and most Japanese cars would never even be considered on the same level as American Muscle engines. Unfortunately, we don't, but it still proves my point about how inferior Japanese engines are, as is, without power adders.
