They claimed 650bhp in Japan, but we found this to be untrue when we stripped the fuelling side apart and found it to be largely stock. This has since been rebuilt and now runs a very conservative 570rwhp @ 1.2bar. With an increase in the AFR, this could very easily see 700bhp, although it wouldnt be the healthiest 700bhp you've ever seen.

I also love ST185 GT-Fours, particularly the CS edition. In fact, really the only Toyotas Im not a massive fan of are SW20 MR2 turbos, and AE86 Corollas, largely because theyre hugely over-rated. Particularly the latter, which suffers from ridiculous ''scene'' tax. £5k as a minimum for a 22 year old car that struggles to even reach 60? Ill pass.

Scene tax is ridiculous. I was asked $24 thousand for an 1995 MR2 with over 150,000kms on it. Crazy ppl.

I think 570 RWHP isn't too conservative. To be honest it actually sounds unsafe. My VR4 has about 470hp (not sure on the exact number) and i can't really say I want more and that's in an AWD car. That Supra must be terribly tail happy.
