Supra for me???

Hello Gents-
I have been into drag racing muscle cars(mainly mopar) for about 15 years now,hate to say it but i am getting tired of it and want a new kind of kick! I love the looks of the supra (and reputation!) and durability of toyota(had a 86 P/U for years and sold it in mint condition with 458,000 mi.s on it!!!) I want to focus on handling instead of straight line and force fed small engines instead of N/A big blocks.I am used to 500 h.p on a daily basis,and have driven 1500 h.p drag cars,so I like to think I can handle power!

Is the supra for me? I am 6'1 220 so I need some room(which I heard is no problem for guys my size) and I just want a badass daily driver that blows away cobras and vettes and handles like its on rails! What do you guys think? If yes which model should I look for(I want the 93-98 body style) I have about 20k to spend(for now) Also not that it matters,but what kind of fuel miliage would I see in a 500 or 600 h.p supra? as long as its better than the 10 m.p.g that I get in my Duster I will be happy!
thanks for any input!
