I hate to put this so bluntly (my apologies in advance), but if you want a car that will beat a Ferrari, Viper, or ZR1 Vette, how could anyone expect it to be the price of a Honda Civic? The Mkiv Supra Turbo is exceedingly rare (much more rare than many models of Ferrari), and one of the only true musclecars to come out of Japan. The Mkiv Supra Turbo is as different from a Corolla as the Audi R8 is from the VW bug. Keeping all that in mind, can you see why its price is ... substantial? How on earth could a GT sportscar with the engine, driveline, suspension, etc., and all of the engineering necessary to deliver such a high degree of performance come at a low price?
The good news is that an Mkiv won't be as expensive as a Ferrari, Viper, or ZR1 Vette to purchase, upgrade and maintain. It's all about getting things in perspective. If you really want to be a serious player in this 'game', you will need to invest some relatively serious coin. This is a great hobby, and most consider it to be well worth the investment. Sure you may have to work hard and save for a few years to get the car you want...but think of all the fun you'll have going F-A-S-T!!!
