Supra all day. Worked at toyota for a year and a half and we had a customer that had a 750 hp single turbo supra that had around 90k on the STOCK BLOCK!! Where else can you find a car that reliable? You've got a car that if has had basic maintence kept up with can last for hundreds of thousands of miles and still push out over 1000 hp on the stock block. You dont even need to do a single turbo conversion for them to be really fast. Ive seen plenty of supra that did basic bolt ons and turned up the boost and they were running low 12's all day long. That my .02c and my experience with them. Sorry to see you giving up the Evo and good luck!

I agree with what you said however we start the subject with two downsides on the Supra:
1) The unfair and unjustifiable cost of a used Supra itself
2) The excessive price to get them to put down 750whp

Just out of mild curiosity, where do you think you'll find a used Supra for under 30K? These days even the beaters with the poorly planned/executed mods are going for 40K+. I saw a listing recently for a stock TT 6Spd with low miles... asking 70K!
