Toyota Supra MK4 (A80)

The MK4 Supra's 2JZ-GTE inline-six is the most legendary engine in tuning history, engineered to handle over 1,000 horsepower on stock internals. This durability transformed a grand tourer into a drag strip icon. When production ceased in 2002, clean examples sold for around $30,000; by 2024, low-mileage Supras exceed $200,000 at auction. Its 30% higher power ceiling than the #2 Mazda RX-7 FD's rotary engine solidified its tuning supremacy, withstanding 40 psi of boost routinely. The Fast and the Furious propelled it to fame, but the 2JZ's ability to absorb absurd torque is what ensures its immortality.
