I Sold My Lancer And Bought A Toyota Supra!
I just sold my 2003 Lancer recently and brought a 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo (Red/Grey).
I love it. I will post updates as they happen.

those are awesome RWD cars, great for drifting. My dad used to have one and I think it was
putting about 230HP to the ground with almost no mods at all. It's a bit heavy but thats ok.
Unfortunately the head gaskets always blow on those 3litres so be ready for a rebuild.

This was my 1st car, I had a Cherry Red and MINT 89 Supra, was my moms and then mine so it was never beat.
Car is far more advanced and well built then any Lancer. The fit and finish plush just the quality of the car, it was a rock and nothing EVER Broke.
Head gaskets blew for one simple yet stupid reason. The factory torque specs for the Head gasket were set @ 50FPS when it shoudl be 75-80, thats it, only reason. That simple.
Check out SOGI, Supra Owners Group International, get wrench turning, I would swap in a 2JZ-GTE IMHO.
This car (Mine Atleast) came with a VERY advanced suspension setting. Had normal and sports mods and a series of lights that let you know which setting you have based on hard driving.
Hit the gas hard, the front suspension drops and the rear tightens and the car squats on take off instead of bucking. The opposite is true when you hit the breaks, squating again.
Hitting turns, the sides tighten and drop again to eliminate body roll, all automatic.
I also had electronic Lumbar Contol, and a LSD that came with the car. It was also BY FAR the smoothest High speed car I have, hit 140 anc cruise, no wind noise, the car isn't blown all over the road, smooth man.
Just make it nice, use teh extra case you have to mod it right, but the 2JZ-GTE swap should be the thing to do.
