Truth be told, I am just getting bored of the Z. And the Supra with the Aimgain kit has really been growing on me.
I know it might sound like a stupid move, but I hear so many darn good things about the Supra platform that only increases my motivation.
I may contact your guy about the 700whp motor, but what do you mean off-road? It won't be street legal or engineerable for the streets?

He builds race engines that can be tuneable for the street. "Off-Road" is dirt buggy racing (look up the Finke desert race for vehicle style).
My "70's road MG - Historic reg plates" has a life-expired full race engine in it with a softer cam that has a massive grin-factor in it. I ran that car at Geelong Sprints and it was good for a 10.7 quarter (980kgs and 390hp).
I guess you need to think about how many pineapple-notes you are going to tear up with a degree of maturity - you will get back maybe 40 cents in the dollar on your Z - possibly as low as 25 cents in the dollars, because I'm guessing you've paid multiple times for some of your mods so think about how you will avoid doing the same thing with another platform. Your story is stored on the forum for any potential purchaser to see.
I am not saying don't do it - it is your money. What I am saying is think about what you are doing to avoid the same sense of disappointment and expense - go into it with your eyes open and happy that you will burn the dollars.
