Is there really such a thing as a 500hp daily driver?

[The1]

This is my goal but I know that many people on this website have daily drivers and they just use the Supra's for the weekend. I'm honestly too poor to do that but I want my car to be the truth. I've been doing a whole lot of reading; so much my head is hurting. But my question is, what is a definite way to make 500hp efficiently using pump gas? :1zhelp:

when i first got my supra 2 years ago it was my daily. Now i use if for the weekends and nice days, but i never had any problems, i just bought a beater.

I am building mine to be a 500 hp DD the key is to install the best parts you can afford even if that means saving up for them for a while like I am. Take you time and get it tuned properly dont do that half assed seat of the pants BS.

Can be done. But do you really want a 500 HP DD?

 

[Ckanderson]

Of course it can be done. Get a conservative tune, and buy only the best parts.

ya

Man, when they told me the Supra was expensive...I didn't know the half. I set my eyes on one thing, then I have to spend money on something else. I'm just about to do like Joe and sell drugs...

 

[BorHor]

ya

good point. I am dumb. too bad gas makes me think otherwise.

I stated my reasons in the first post. I want a high hp Supra that I can drive to work and school but then take to the track on Friday nights.

 

[werewolves182]

My Supra is my DD and Ive got a Singled 1jz. Roughly 420hp currently, shooting for 500-550. Like everyone else is saying, just don't half-ass it, buy the best parts you can get even if it means saving up for a while. Get a conservative tune and don't beat the shit out of it.

Yeas 100%

Yes - many times over ... (no I'm not one of them).

But my question is, what is a definite way to make 500hp efficiently using pump gas?

I thought the subject was your question, but okay ...
First - define "efficiently". Second - throw the right turbo into the mix of supporting mods & you're there.

I'm honestly too poor...

My opinion - settle for 3-400hp for about 18 years, then, once you can spend serious money on yourself again ... go for 6-800!!

the great thing about a turbo car... you can have 500HP at the flick of a switch and stock power when you want to conserve gas...

 

[Doward]

Poodles just summed it up.
