I needed to diversify

Stock for now, but it's much faster than I expected it to be. I feel its faster than my supercharged M3 was, and most likely faster than the Supra... And it's still just stock.

I'd like to add a pulley and some good tuning, then it'd be pretty nuts for a high-end luxury sedan.

What type of Porsche did you get? E55 is nice, always liked them for a sleeper, but I doubt it would run with the Supra. Have you run anybody in the Supra that was close so you could see where the E55 stands? They make gobs of torque, but is extremely heavy. Honestly it doesn't matter how fast it is from a roll, it is made to run 150 mph all day long on the Autobahn with Bach blastin and the air running.

yeah,a stock Supra should be able to edge out a stock SS Camaro.with the mods done to that Supra it should be much faster than that.

You wouldn't catch me dead in a Mercedes at 150mph. Wayyyyyyy too many F'n things to go wrong on that car at that speed.

Ever seen what air suspension does with no air?

Always wanted to use that one!!
