I guess I was just expecting a little more activity by Scion/Toyota. This is the most hyped up sportscar in decades. You would think Scion/Toyota of America would've put out a few race cars to prove its worth as being the perfect budget platform tuner. It's quite discouraging that the OE has done NOTHING thus far and the FT86 platform has solely been developed by privateers.

Take a look at Kia. They're Optima isn't even a sports car yet they pushed it along pretty competitively in PWC.



Is a few spec racecars and a bit of developement too much to ask for from the world's largest and most profitable auto manufacturer?

I'm still bitter that Toyota/Scion hasn't done much to in ways of creating a spec racer to compete with rivals like miata, civic, etc. Especially here in North America where majority of these cars were sold.
