Evora guys are getting +25 rwhp with intake/exhaust. The power band is excellent and it loves to rev.
I have a 2GR swapped into my MR2 Spyder. With a lightweight FW, intake and exhaust, it makes 271 rwhp. The power never drops all the way through redline. I wish the ECU gave me another 1000 rpm.

And I'm sure it's awesome in a Mr2 Spyder, or Fiero, or MR-S..or any number of lightweight nimble cars that can host the engine.
But not in a 70-80,000 dollar "sports car"..
at 60,000 I can get a car with a brand new power/sport/race oriented 4.0L V8 with a 8400rpm redline and great powerband in a host of configurations manual/smg etc with plenty of space for upgrade-ability....yet at 75,000 I get a Camry motor that needs to be upgraded to feel "right"
