I can imagine they are like a boat in the corners, but then if you are wanting a car capable of 200mph you arent looking for a track car. Look on youtube for examples of tuned ones, might get a figure for mods, but most will be American with overnight parts from Japan

as long as i get either the 7m, 1jz, and 2jz i think i should be ok as they are meant to be able to take some abuse

7m isnt turbo (i think, from memory thats the 2.8 NA Engine isnt it?).... 1jz smaller capacity.
The 2JZ GTE it the engine you want to start with (and the MKIV shell to be honest)
They are very smooth and refind cars as standard. Spend a couple of hundred on a standard MKIV 3.0 TT and you'll break 400bhp.
Standard engine (if healthy) should make 550ish no problem with correct turbos/fueling/ecu. That should get you to 200 with a long enough runway.
Strange thing to build a car for though

make sure you have brakes and tyres that will cope too.

Only heavy compared to your rex, they are around 1500kg? Thats not to bad when comparing it to modern hi performance barges.
