Oh, they're great street cars. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that a well sorted APU Supra is a better street car than an FRS! It's more comfortable, it's got less rattles, it's quieter, it's much better on the highway, it's certainly as fun to drive on backroads.
That being said, "well sorted APU" means less than 600whp on a small, quick spooling turbo. And of course some decent tires.
Regardless, the MKV is likely going to be significantly more refined than the MKIV. And assuming that it will be capable of similar horsepower numbers, it could certainly be an evolution of the MKIV, which is what everyone is craving.
