I do, got a 1996 saab 900s. Those are some beautiful cars you guys have.
 
I'm 26, and I drive.

Cars I've owned in order:

1990 Ford Mustang 4 cyl (I KNOW)
1999 Nissan Silvia S15 (right hand drive, picked it up at an auction on my 18th birthday :) )
1993 RX-7 (was beat up when I got it, restored the body a little, installed a Greddy exhaust and intake)
1991 Honda NSX
2003 Ford Focus SVT
2006 Dodge Charger R/T track pack (still have it)

And hopefully next month I'll have a little project car for the winter, a 1994 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo, 5 spd manual with a Targa top :)

Conversion? The five speed isn't what is usually hooked up to the twin-turbo engine, and for good reason.

Toyota mated the turbo to an automatic in '96 I believe, due to government regulations. But this Supra isn't stock, it's been modified by a shop out of Toronto (I live in Canada). Single turbo, stage 3 clutch and flywheel, Tein suspension, wilwood brakes, Bomex kit. All the turbo specs are still unknown to me, hence why I'm waiting before I buy :P but id really love to have the car. I supercharged my NSX when I had it but I'm looking to have this as a track car for Mosport or the Quebec National drags.

Well here's hoping they used the six speed - the five speed will end up all over the road with a bit more than stock put through it. :)

I have to ask though, why a Supra? Surely there are better (read:lighter) cars for track work over there? What about a 240sx?
