Dont get mad

Hate to be the barer of reality, but a twin turbo Mk IV Supra will annihilate a Fox Mustang 5.0. Even with a small supercharger, the 5.0 would still be in for a run. That and the Supra can very quickly be made into a mid 12 car at over 110mph for cheap.

Bone stock, the Supra is good for a low 13@106ish. LS1's are not unfamiliar with the back end of those Toyota's.

Now if you're talking a street race, who knows what the end will look like. I suppose it's possible you could get a freaky Fox like mine, but normally don't expect better than a low/mid 14 stock with good driving.

If I was going to buy an Japanese import, it would be a 300ZX TT or a WRX.

Too get a nearly 4000lb Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 to spin all 4 wheels would take a hell of a launch, and a lot more power. Then it takes a lot of praying that the driveline doesn't blow. It's not exactly the strongest setup in the world.
