A mk3 non Turbo Supra put out about 201bhp prior to about 1989.
They then introduced a Catalyst and the power dropped to around 185bhp iirc.

The Turbo introduced in 1989 would be the one to go for, now there isn't much difference in price.
The Turbo produced 234bhp in standard form although I think it can be easily tweaked to 280!!

You will tend to find most of the Non Turbo's are manual and the most Turbo's are auto.

The main differences otherwise are that the Turbo's have leather as standard, and they have a turbo gauge as opposed to a battery/Volts one.

I would personally go for the MR2 Turbo (94+), or the 94+ celica GT4! Both wicked cars, and very fast... very underestimated.

200sx, S13a variant. Cult drift weapon. Highly tuneable. Also highly crashable if you drive as they were intended

Everyone ignores them too which can be useful.
