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.

Six-hundred horsepower cars are cool, but it takes a special vehicle to harness that power and lay it down through a long series of twists and turns. This is where the Toyota Supra is unique. When driven by someone with sufficient sack and a delicate touch, the Supra is a high-power car that can mak

Eight hundred seventy horsepower. Say it out loud and think about it for a moment. Eight hundred seventy horsepower. It's more muscle than you'll find in Paul Tracy's Champ Car, or two Corvette Z06s. It's the kind of might that tears skin from bone, heads from bodies and shoes from feet.
