Yeah I actually hate the values of Supras being so inflated because they can make stupid power. It's a car I wouldn't mind for a daily driver if the values weren't so high.

Accelerated Performance does have a junkyard of nice MKIV's sitting in their back lot. Would make many fanboys cry I bet.

The sweet spot for HP for me on the street in any reasonable sized/mid weight car is around 400-450HP. Beyond that and it becomes a bit silly. Hell even that is a bit silly. Most drivers can't control it (including myself I'm sure) hence all the dumb driver aids on all these cars.
