I don't know if I would take it that far. I would say its a mid level "sports car". I shutter at the thought of a Jap sports car...

Its not on the same level as a Ferrari or Lambo, although my Supra will accelerate any production model from either of those manufactors and handle right there with them, but my car isint stock
Viper or Vette though? Pfftt. The Supras build quality is head and shoulders above either of those models. For example, a friends Supra last night in Florida made 891RWHP, on the stock short block with 174,000 miles on it!!! How many 174k Vipers and Vettes are out there doing stuff like that? The real amazing thing is how much power these cars make on the stock parts. My car makes ~800HP at the crankshaft and its on the stock head,cams,rods,pistons,crank,etc. The head has never been off the car! There are MANY MANY other Supras out there doing similar #s on the stock parts. Toyota just totally overbuild the drivetrain. I know where you are coming from though, tell me 6 years ago that in a few years i would own a Toyota and i would of said no way. You just need to have a broad outlook on things and learn to respect ANY fast car.....I have!
