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!!!

You're right. This car is worth that investment and much more.
