Of all the mid-90s tuner cars, the Mark IV Toyota Supra is one of the most beloved. Powered by the bulletproof 2JZ-GTE engine in twin-turbo dress, the Supra could turn out some impressive numbers. With enthusiasts quickly realizing they could tune it anywhere from 500 to 1400 wheel-hp with ease, it

"You must find balance," the Zen Master told young Hachi-Roku. "But I have nearly perfect balance," replied the Hachi, "53.4 percent front to 46.6 percent rear." "No!" the Zen Master interrupted, "in order to attain driving nirvana, you must find total balance. Your tires must match your suspension.

I've only driven two pickups in my life. That's how much I hate them. Other than the occasional moving transportation, I want nothing to do with them. Even domestic burnout machines wearing SVT or SRT badges don't do it for me (though I must admit I haven't driven either). Physics and trucks just do

There are all sorts of miles. Long miles, bump strewn miles, cruising miles and miles taken at ten-tenths. There are commuter miles, road-raging bumper-to-bumper miles, secretary miles, beginner driver miles and shop owner miles. Only miles racked up by journalists are harder on a car.

It's rare territory for sure. And any car that turns the rollers into the quadruple-digit domain is in a league all its own. This month we bring you four of them. With an average power output of 1,129 hp each, these are among the baddest Supras in the land.

Just another turbo Supra with huge rear tires idles loudly at the red light. "BPU," you figure. He brings it up off idle and it sounds meaner than a cornered wolverine. OK, maybe it has a single turbo. You notice an aftermarket spoiler. The back window vibrates in time to the thumps issued from an o

This black beast has no front-mount intercooler, no body kit and no trick stereo. It doesn't even wear a set of 18s, which have become as common on Supras as smokeless tobacco at a hoedown. And what's with the baby seats in the back? Face it, you wouldn't look twice if this car rolled up next to you
