I am sure you can get about the same level of performance with less cost with a mk2 as they are quite a bit lighter. That being said 9 seconds is a very fast quarter mile. I wonder if you even understand waht it takes to make acar go that fast and keep it on the street. Low 12s and high 11s are easily attainable with the mk2 with a relatively small investment and if you are new to racing then I would make this you goal before trying to hit 9s.

I wish you best of luck. Post your progress and how much is cost too if you don't mind. I am interested in seeing just what it takes to make it go.

YOu know I think you would probably spend the same amount of cash building a nine second 454/350 supra as you would a genuite toyota car. After all at that point you are prolly gonna be putting in a ford 9in rear, completely gutting it etc. And a turbo 7m with 500-600 HP(this is suprisingly easy... or so I hear) will prolly outlast a 400-500HP V8 and be easier on the drivetrain. So in the long run the cost is probably about the same.

I always liked the supra for the all around perforformance. The sacrafices you would have to make to get to 9 seconds would completely destroy that. But I say it is cool to build the car you want, just be sure that is really what you want.
