ummm no way a supra ownes a rotary god stock v.s stock the rex barely beats it but its a drivers race and rotarys can handle much more power. but back on subject you can get a single turbo and built that . the only differance from a tt and single turbo is a tt spools up a bit faster. STILL i would get a tt.

THANK YOU!!! I was wondering why no one was pointing out that there NEVER WAS A FACTORY MKIV SINGLE TURBO. They are ALL Twin-Turbo. The only single turbo SUpras you will find have been M-O-D-I-F-I-E-D.

Nissan 300zx aren't as expensive as Supras and can be just as fast. You could always get a low miles Supra NA then put a single turbo on it. Don't get me wrong the Supra is my dream car without a doubt. I just wouldnt buy any car with 130k miles on it.

'91 300zx with 32k miles for $15,000

my 2 friends, one with a tt supra (ft in turbo dreams 3) and the other owns a tt 300zx, both stock, and the supra even has boost leak, it kills the z

the z32 has some problems though, and the vg30 isn't as great as the rb26 or the 2jzgte
