FT86 to Supra?
 

OK, so I was wondering...

How much would it cost for Toyota to take the FT-86 chassis and turn it into a Supra?

Of course, the modifications would include:
-- 6 cylinder engine/Supercharger/Turbocharger (300 h.p min)
-- Upgraded wheels (lighter, larger)
-- Upgraded brakes
-- Upgraded suspension
-- More refined interior
-- More refined exterior

If they could keep the weight down and balanced and if they could deliver this for the low 30's, it might sell?

Thoughts? Opinions?

About 20K?

Again? Turbo?

This thread makes my head hurt.

Wait!!! 6 cylinders? What's for? I have found a good solution for you. Lotus Elise S V6.

the car just isnt big enough to be a supra... its got to look like Japanese muscle...

if the cars dimentions were bigger by about 5-6% added a H6 turbo priced it at about 35k(base) to 50k(preimium) 400+ hp, it would have better handling characteristics than a 5.0 mustang and have about the same power but be priced just a bit higher mainly cause its a better preforming car

Isn't the new exige or something coming out with a V6? Too bad it's out of my price range and not street legal or i would drive the hell out of that thing.

On a side note i don't get the whole "Supra = God car" thing. It's a FR-S/GT86/BRZ(depending on which brand) and nothing else. Not a supra nor a hachi roku.

I WISH THEY WOULD DO THIS!!

Because youve never driven one

Seriously though, Toyota over built the sh&t out of these cars and they can handle so much from the factory. What other car can you think of that can handle 800whp on a stock bottom end safely, or a 6-speed trans from the factory that can make over 1000whp right off the lot? Been done to many times to count

Welcome back bud. Where have you been?

Working working.... How's everything going? Missed a lot of stuff I see.

Also found a BHG on the supra, then tore it apart and found some cracks in the head.... So I bought a built head to go on it... And that's where I've been...

Yeah I think it could be done for about 35-38k base. This is what I think would happen.

Longer platform by 12 inches
IS-F V8 tuned to 450hp or TT 3.5 tuned to the same.
Soft touch plastics interior for a more upscale look
Upgraded suspension and brakes over the FR-S

I can see all of what I just posted adding 15k-17k to a 23k base FR-S

Why? Why? Why?

They went to so much trouble to keep this car light and balanced. Why ruin that?
