Question about the n/a toyota supra.
hi i am 17 turning 18 soon and i am new to this forum and ive been looking for the right car for me. im planning to buy a car soon, and im looking at between a supra, 3rd gen rx7, mr2 or a 240sx. I've heard that getting a n/a supra is not worth it because the engine cannot handle as much as the twin turbo.(mainly the reason why im looking for a n/a is because of the insurance) i was wondering is the n/a engine CAN be turbocharged or not. is it worth it? and any info that i am not aware of would be useful. thank you.

*Note: This 600rwhp figure can go up to about 700rwhp through a manual transmission, if you swap the 2jz-ge's head gasket for a thicker one (to reduce the CR).
