6K to go fast!, im gathering funds for a 3sgte 4agze build & swap into the celi Options

[boosted95]

Im saving for an engine build, im about half the way there with funds. also im guessing my time line is within the next year*
my question is whats my best bang for the buck? the more research i do on fwd turbo cars i hear about a "suspension demon" that creeps out around 200whp and you loose traction in turns when you apex a turn and attempt to accelerate outa a turn... ive sat shotgun in a boosted gen2 swap "toyotacrazy" and was almost gonna trade celicas with him+ cash. also rode in a supra. both cars slammed me into the backseat from rolling takeoffs, but in the supra when the clutch gets dropped wile in boost and the rear end gripped the road it sounded like we hit something "chassis twist"

so the garage i apprentice at is mainly a supra shop, specialty is the almighty "7mgte"/ anyway since day 1 the owner shane has told me to ditch the celica and get a supra if i want to make big power, get that power to the ground, and stay safe. we do rebuilds all day long and port and polish heads and manifolds too.
ive driven a turboed honda hatch that we use as the company beater its prolly around 180hp, its fun in boost/ but i wouldnt say its unruly on the roads. sorry for the ramble, but just giving yall background that ive driven boosted fwd "if honda even counts" yuck!

theres also a chance of buying my friends N/A 280z he started overhaulin to drift with. (that said i hate drifting!)

or find a good quality mr2 body with a blown 3sgte.

and finally learn to ride a bike and work my way up to hell on 2 wheels. (i dont ride yet, and im not crazy enough for stunts/ cause i think driving around uninformed motorist is dangerous enough)

mr2 with a 3sgte

wow, itchy b read my thread! thanks, your build thread inspired me last year to read and research about rebuilt 3s engines...

1 question, how bad is traction when you pass the 300whp mark in fwd? all i hear from rwd drivers is it wont grip for hard launches, and its gonna eat tires, and its not a matter of "if" i wreck, but "when" i wreck*
thats whats opened my mind to rwd, i dont wanna drop 6k on a motor that my car cant make the most of/ thats what im rambling on about i guess

I've had 330whp to front wheels its fun, but a waste of power, torque steer bad, you'll go through tires, and your just plain slower than a rwd car because of the launches.
i never thought id like a car more than the celica, but i do, the mr2 is so much fun to drive.

don't get me wrong anything fast is fun no matter the platform.
