im debating wether to get a 96 hatchback gt or pay a little less for an mkIII supra turbo. i mean i know the supra is much faster but i love the look of the 6th gens and they r pretty rare around here, i just want to know if they are gona be able to hold there own with the common cars around here. im not talkin like vets and vipers but i mean the civics and cavaliers with all show no go. so by experience is ur celica a slow car? (stock of course) o and also, is there any mods for cheap to raise around the 150 or more hp mark without turbo-ing or swapping? thnx in advance

i agree that mk3 supras are incredibly heavy. Even with a turbo, they arent going to accelerate all that fast (slightly slower than a fwd turbo DSM) and handling with all that weight wont be comparable to cars in its class from back then even. Watch out for beaten ones, too, if you go down that path...
