Default what fast jap car can i get without using otane booster and 98 ron?

as titile says i cant be f**ked with octane booster and having to use 98 ron petrol what jap performance cars preferably with a turbo can i use 95 safely.
i know subarus, evo's, pulsars need 98 if uk spec and octane booster if import.

Don't run a turbo supra on 95. You might make it with a N/A and you can run a FTO on 95 if you like. Think you'll be hard pressed to find a turbo car capable, at least not without performance penalties.

Probably none if you want a turbo.
Although I ran a standard STi3 for 2 years without octane booster but I did use Optimax.
You may be alright with a standard car but I'd get a remap to run on 95 if you want cheap fuel.

A UK-spec Supra will be quite happy on 95RON, that's what they were mapped for.

You could get any car you wanted and run it on 95ron, IF you had it remapped to suit.
