    For a 4 seated turbo V6 ya and it can pull that weight.

    Also to add my friend has a older miata that has some nice suspension upgrades and it can whoop some ass in the twisties. Just depends on what you want to do with your project car i guess.

    Once again if you are talking about the mk3's

    mk3 turbos run 15's.
    mk3 NAs run 16's.

    Either way not too shabby, but i wouldnt waste my time buying an n/a car when there is a stock turbo version...

    Ya i know is a straight 6 i just didnt want to get technical. And i am used to muscle cars so i use slant 6. But same thing. As far as the MK3 Supra though. It is nice and i have seen a few go for 3K turbo but no targa. I like it because it is in fact a turbo car but also came with a 1JZ twin turbo engine in JDM land. Making a twin turbo swap some what easy. As well as the infamous 2JZ swap going around. But thats if you truely want a project car and dont mind saving some money after you buy the car for an engine swap.

    I dont get too detailed into supra's more so 300zx's but i believe people are swapping the 1jz head and 2jz block and internals and running them like this. Because of the bottom end of the 2JZ being able to hold alot power on stock internals. I dont know if thats what it was or if it was something else but i heard they call it a 1.5jz or something. Dont quote me on any of that though.
