It also leaves room for the FT86 to slot in. |

The real truth to this is that the 4 cylinders modified crowd will be faster in their Supras than the 6 cylinder unmodified (old man elitist) crowd, which they hate. But the other irony is that the Supra has always had a range of models, and it had this range in the MKV from the beginning (just not all over the world). Some have argued that the NA MKIV is analogous to the $50k MKV Supra, and that more premium/faster (M spec) models will come. This could be true, but I argued that the 4 cylinder is like the NA MKIV Supra, and it should exist alongside the top tier. Even if the 4 cylinder Supra was $40k new and $25-30k used in a few years, I still don't know if I am in on the looks and package, especially if it stays auto.

Anyways, like stated in the first page, I’m sure there’s going to be a good amount of people modifying the lower trim Supras and why not. It’ll look good, cheaper, have good power still, handle well, and maybe more reliable Of course we won’t know till see it, but still interesting |

It is the looks for me. I quite frankly prefer the aesthetics of the 86 much more than the Supra. It just looks......better.

Same, except I do like the side view proportions on a GT two seater. Our short stubby hood is great for visibility, but the cabin would be nice as a two seater and shifted to the rear.

Kinda silly though, as even with a 4 cyl I don’t see it dropping below 40K. I don’t know too many kids buying $40K cars. Having a unique/exclusive car is cool, but if it doesn’t sell, car companies will stop making them, which is not cool.

Performance enthusiasts many times practice the art of reverse investment. Rather than pay 50k for a fast car, we buy a 30k car, put 25k into it making it worth 10k and never reach the performance of the 50k car

And in many, many, many cases as soon as they are done all the work they sell (at a loss as you pointed out) and move onto the next project. These are the project enthusiasts that really enjoy the work more than the finished product. There is nothing wrong with that and I have done the same thing several times with classic restorations.
