Your in for some work dude. You have to have passion for cars and deep pockets. I miss the scene and I am going to get back in very soon (I used to have a "94" Twin Turbo Supra with BPU mods)....lots of fun, but to make a serious run at some of the real fast guys, you need way more than BPU and that takes time and cash.
If your budget is high, go with a 1993/94 Supra and start building from there. Hit me up on icq sometime and lets kick around some ideas mad man. Remember, you are a big dude and power to weight ratio is important...the Supra will give you all the horses you can handle. (not cutting on you by any means either, we've met and you know I'm straight up). I have some buddies here in Vegas who still drive and they have well over 600 bhp at the rear wheels. Check out

There are some other great rides to work with also, but I'm biased (Big Time biased :-)
