The other option that very seriously may happen after college, that I would really like to do, is build a flyweight car... for now, my favorite being the Ultralite S2k.
I'd just rather the people looking for big forced-induction power go to the bigger, bigger-engined cars (Genesis, 370, Mustang...) and Toyota focus on keeping this lightweight and precise.
Now... I think that then, Toyota could do like an early Supra and make a model re-engineered for more firepower. Either an H6 or beefed-up H4, turbo, and a strong tranny (hopefully rear transaxle to let the bigger / heavier engine sit even further back), a lil more weight in tha chassis to hold ridicilous amounts of power, feel more solid / planted rather than lightweight and flicky, and some more luxury (as needed for a more expensive car).
So there you go... My vision for the FT-86/FR-S and what I think a new Supra should be - a redeux of the First supras, not the MkIV - and why. Enjoy.

If Toyota or Subaru made FR H6 NA coupe w 280hp/290tq (& it's possible hq/tq w 3~3.3L), I'll buy it in heartbeat!!!!!
