Did you read my whole statement? It would cost MUCH more to get the Supra to handle anywhere near that of the 996. I am guessing in excess of 20 grand worth of custom suspension work to get it near that of a 911 Cup Racer (I bet the cars you mention spend that or more!). This is coming from a former Porsche driver, and I am on my 5th Supra. I think I know how much $ it takes to get a heavy ass Supra to handle. Sure, you can throw in a Tein suspension, but it still needs a lot of weight reduction and balancing. That's just my honest opinion. But I have wasted lot's of $ on other Supras to get very minimal results in handling.
I do agree that my MKIV handles much better than many of the cars I have owned in the past, to include one MKIII Supra Turbo that I spent way too much on the suspension upgrades on.
Peace

LOL.
The banning of awd systems surely didn't hurt that.

Honda takes victory in event-filled home race
NSX strength never in doubt - the only question was
which one would be victorious.
After dominating every session throughout Practice and Qualifying, a Honda win was expected at Twin Ring Motegi in Round 5 of SUPER GT over the September 3-4 weekend. Piloting the #100 Raybrig NSX, French driver pair Jeremie Dufour and Sebastien Philippe took a well-deserved Honda victory at the maker's home track north of Tokyo.

Divexxtreme, instead of going for either of these two cars, you should shoot for getting a new Z06.
