I test drove one of the first ones with the Rover motor. I can't wait to drive one with the Toyota motor, build and boost it!

PMed. I thought the Supra would be a great shop car but unless you want to go for 1600hp no one thinks a Supra has enough HP. I like driving the cars too much for that.
The Elise however would be a great project for a motor build and small turbo setup.

It is true to some degree. They are heavy cars
What I meant was that every shop that has a Supra goes for max HP which makes they track only cars. Big slow spooling turbo and bad handling ford 9in rearend.
If we can't trade for the Elise I can sell the Supra and that should be more than enough to purchase the casr outright. It may take some time but I really like the idea of the Elise.

Trust me I get that everyday. Everone that comes by the shop wants it. I just have always like the Elise and would love to make that my next project car. Nice quick spooling turbo and an even better suspension!
