Ok...let's get everyone on the same page with a couple acronym deffinitions:
FI=Forced Induction. This means anything like a turbo or supercharger that forces more air into the combustion chamber than would normally occur naturally. Cars in this category would be something like the Twin Turbo Supra or the Subaru WRX or the 2003 Mustang Cobra.
NA=Natural Aspiration. This means that nothing is used to force air into the combustion chamber. In other words, air intake occurs naturally. Cars in this category would be the S2000, BMW M5 or your fathers Oldsmobile.
Does this help the conversation get focused?

But NA Supras can be made to go faster than s2ks NA. So, I'd rather have the Supra. Both are good cars since they don't shake at all.
One of my main questions is: "How good does the clutch feel in the Supras?"

N/A Supra: 225 hp, ~3500 lbs.
S2000 240 hp, ~2800 lbs.
Sure you could mod the Supra to get a little more, but not enough to overcome the power/weight deficit w/o going FI. Anyway, if you're going to pick your cars based on which ones go faster, just buy a late model Z28 and mod it until you're satisfied.
My clutch was pretty stiff, but it was a TRD racing clutch.

I believe that DR. JEKYLL is only 15 or so and has much to learn (like lots of folks) about these things!
I have never been more confused on a thread. . .

Start with an old British or Italian sports car or something. It'll break down enough that you'll learn everything about the car and be ready when you step up to something with better performance...
