Toyota DOES know how to make a good performance car, they just haven't done it in a while.
Call me a pessimist, but I'll bring this up again. Toyota re-worked the rear suspension of the SW20 MR2 for 'safety' due to inexperienced drivers. Adding to their (completely undeserved) current throttle safety reputation, I doubt the systems will be completely disable-able without some secret pain in the ass code.

They aren't going to risk more damage to their safety reputation by having a bunch of noobs spinning out in traffic.
