And I meant to correct you yesterday but forgot the dinky turbo you are referring to is the CT26. The CT20 is actually the better turbo of the two.

What about if I just did like a 3SGE, they are stock around 150HP right? Same block used for the turbo model, should be great for boosting and fairly cheap as well if I am not mistaken.

they are really tough to drift... If you can get the rear end out, more than likely youll end up spinning out... Other than that ithink theyre sweet cars, you can really turn corners pretty good in them

They arent tough to drift they are harder to learn how to, most people are used to the conventional FR layout. They are amazing for drifting they can enter and exit and amazing speed, its controlling the drift or learning to control that drift that is harder. Most peoples reaction to recovering if there is a lot of oversteer is to countersteer more and let off the gas a bitl. As explained before because of the MR layout letting off the gas will cause you to spin out because as soon as you do the weight is then transferred to the back of the car and you lose traction so in order to maintain your line you have to stay on the gas. Drift Bible has an amazing example with video and explanation as well.

Actually, the CT20 is a smaller turbo than the CT26. The CT20B is a bigger turbo.

Supra's were made for road coarse/circuit not for drag racing :P.

Exactly, on the road course the MR2 would leave the Supra in the dust.
haha..I laughed when I read that. I really think the supra is more of a sports car than the mr2. It is definitely not a muscle car, thats for sure. Stock for Stock..the supra would beat the mr2. Also, you can make alot more horsepower out of a 2jzgte than than a 3sgte

Of course you can, it has two more cylinders.

In my eyes, the MR2 is more of a sports car. It's more fun to drive, it's light, handles very well, and has enough room for your *** and some gas, nothing more, nothing less.

Supras are dyno/highway *****. MR2's are more of an all around better car.

Ok but you take a 1000HP Supra and then take a 800HP MR2 and I can garauntee I would take the MR2.
