Yes, you can put money into a MKIV Supra's suspension and compete, easily. People seem to forget the numbers that car used to put out back in the day on the skidpad and on closed courses because everyone just focused on it's incredible engine.
I'm sure you can make a Mustang GT easily compete handling wise as well with mods, and a Boss will beat it out of the box.
Anything can be made faster and better than the next car. I owned a 2k GTS bought new back in the day, and I know even it being FWD with the Hotchkis setup would put out supercar handling numbers. I also know a heavy awd GTR will smoke this car in every test, contrary to beliefs that if a car weighs in over 1.5ton that it can't handle here. Not to mention something closer in price that's heavy, say, an Evo X even. So what's the problem here again?
All I'm saying is that this car isn't "tainted" by it getting a legendary motor like some make it sound to be.
I still around because I appreciate a good handling car, which this is, and with a proper suspension, heck even tires alone it would be incredible. To me it would make a great everyday beater if it fit my frame better (6'2" 225lbs). Yet, I don't like how people dismiss and can't understand why some of us wished they went another route and made a proper engine for the car that's easily tunable to put out better power, say Turbo or SC. It's understood this is a "fan site" but keep things reasonable and it'll be a better place.
