If this tanks, you can forget about either.

When are some of you guys going to get it though your heads that the 86 is a chassis number and not a model name?
Don't you know? Ppl never learn...

You think Celica is the only sensible option? What if they named it Supra, is it not sensible? First gen Supra was NA: 5M-E and curb weight was around 1270kg (iirc).
