Daily driver and occasional track buddy for me! Hoping it will be a decent enough GTer though as I travel quite a bit. Also hoping the British roads are improved by 2012. We Brits don't drift round cones, we drift to avoid bloody potholes!

Depends on how well this thing handles in the snow (w/ snow tires of course). Garaging, handwashing, and generally taking care of it is a must . . . hopefully I can manage to keep it in pristine condition.

I dont see what you mean. Most people said they will daily drive with minor mods to this car and maybe the occasional track day. How that will turn us into the 240 crowd i dont know.

But thank you for your positive posts and contributing to the board.

I think Supra is still 30K. It's ridiculously expensive for a 12 year old car. Hope FT-86 will be like the Supra.

Because the 2jzgte can make 1000hp just by cranking up the boost .
