Why was the Supra a very un-Japanese car? It's as un-Japanese as the GT-R then, because while the Supra wasn't light, it had good power from a 6 (not to mention a disgusting bottom-end), TT, and it actually handled incredibly well in it's time and even by today's standards.
You can make lots of HP while handling well and at a respectable price. Look at the Mustang Boss. I'd like a Supra equivalent with good styling, Targa, and a nicer interior plz.
I'll wait on the "86" to see what aftermarket support is there for what I want. I'm going to suspect to make some bigger numbers that there's going to be a need for better internals, considering it has an absurd CR at 12.5:1. Sure, you can throw some low single digit turbo or SC on it, but is it going to handle that? Also, they did a pretty good job limiting tire sizes despite "rolling the fenders". You'll be forced into a stagger, and even then it'll be limited.
