I like Poopras but they are ungodly expensive when you go beyond BPU (basic perf upgrades) which is downpipe/exhaust/EBC/etc. Going single turbo costs something like $10-15K in parts!

To make a GN run 10's consistently costs some $$$'s but nowhere near Supra money. 100K miles Supra are still commanding $20K+ which is insane.

A cam/heads LS1/T56 combo into a 2800lb 3rd gen RX-7 will run low 11's@128mph+ (1.9 60') n/a on 91 octane with road race suspension (1.13g's) for about $25K. Add a 150hp shot and you have a 9 second capable car that gets 25mpg+ hwy!
