For all of you with your 'Track' wish list with things like roll cages and such, this is a bad idea (and not going to happen anyways). Build don't buy. Besides if you look at what Toyota/Lexus charges for its TRD/'F' rebranded parts, you'll save a bloody mint doing it yourselves. Can't think of Toyota ever doing a Track edition anyways.
If you want a track car:
A. Just buy the trim level with the best engine/transmission package.
B. Gut all the crap that the factory will try to package in with the up-level motor (even assuming there's going to be multiple options).
C. Replace all the good (but still cost/comfort compromised) factory suspension, wheels, tires, brakes, seats etc... with reputable aftermarket parts.
D. Add in any suitable safety equipment keeping in mind that roll cages can do more harm than good sometimes if you're not wearing a helmet.
E. Pose at the nearest ricer hangout with your hardcore never-tracked 'track' car.
Just (mostly) kidding on the last one. But everybody knows it's going to happen to more than a few of these cars...
