It may sound like I've been ripping on Toyota but I really love the company. I just expect so much more from them. It just seem that with their last major international motorsports failures (LeMans with the incredible-looking GT-One, and of course F1) that they're throwing out all of their performance history. Coming in second but being able to say your car is more environmentally friendly, as good as that may feel to some, is not the same as winning. And never will be.

The Supra's official motorsports heritage may not be on the same level as the Corolla or Celica's WRC victories but from a grassroots drag-racing it is un-paralleled. As a Mk4 owner, I'm sure there is no need for me to list the accolades of your car, in various states of tune, in many different events. The Supra is a legendary street performance machine. But that statement may have to be changed to: The Supra was a historical street performance machine.

And that sucks...
