That plus the movie is pretty much all the hype. Undeniably it's an excellent machine put together very well, I bet it'd be a blast to drive one that's well setup, if they never got rice taxed to hell I bet they'd still be worth money because it's so capable on it's own merits (like clean FD RX-7's, C5 'Vette, 996 911). But I'll take a Porsche at the same price point any day. That will go for the new one as well.
Right, that's what I meant in my first post. The 2jz and the exposure through movies/video games.

The one from the movie made lik 560hp (iirc) and that felt really quick to me. Granted, I was like 11 at the time, but I get the hype for the powerplant. The actual car itself is where I have trouble. I'd rather just drop the 2j into a different, lighter chassis.
