Yeah, come to think of it the REALLY high hp (and $$$) Supras are putting out 1000+ hp - awesome cars/motors.
I think the bestt thing about the GTR (based on reviews I've read & Top Gear) is the extreme handling/traction control which allows a $70k street-car to perform on-par or better than far more expensive 'supercars' (race-cars in street trim).

Myself, I'm going to have to be content with my raggedy old ~400hp '90 300ZX-TT for a while. Like your buddy's Supra but to a lesser degree - the power is good, but the handling is grrrrreat (especially for ~10k & nearly 20 y/o!)
