Everybody goes Turbo here - Can N/A Supras be fast?

I have an 89 NA Supra and there is no way I would call this car slow. I am getting my engine in the best possible shape before I do any upgrades (except for the 2 1/2" Magnaflo Cat I bought to get me through inspection) and I'm quite happy with the stock ride. This summer I may go with a header and open the pipe to 2 1/2" to the back, but I've done 140 mph on the highway and if that ain't fast for a car I spent $1900 on then maybe I don't know what I'm talkin about. Also, from what I see in the engine bay of turbos, I'm rather happy that I'm stuck with my NA, as at least I can work on the friggin engine without lifting it out of the car. Enjoy your NA and don't be envious. You got a great car and it'll probably last a lot longer without the turbo.

My 2 cents,
