I have no interest in trying to find other race cars lol. I just found this one randomly and thought I would share. Then when you said you had seen others I thought you actually knew of some.

I know you can get used Race Spec Mustangs they sell specifically for a certain type of road race for about that much. But those aren't professional dedicated race cars. They are just slightly modified Street Cars people race on the weekend.

Lol, no! You do not want to MOD a supra on credit cards, you'll have another house payment on your hands, parts are ridiculous expensive, but sooooo much fun. Now granted your house is paid off, then go ahead, but I def would not unless you had awesome low %'s on your CC's, if/when you get serious about looking for one, hit me up, I see great deals all day, in fact there a black TT(completely stock) 77,000mi, 6-speed for sale @30,000$ that's a great deal considering the low Milage and that it's bone stock, you just can't find supra's like that anymore

Ya definitely, I've seen some good deals on the forums and autotrader as well, granted I'd more than likely have to travel but I dont mind for something like that .
