I notice how you specifically state Toyota, which would exclude Scion.

The point is that the FT-86 would give Toyota a reason to MAKE a TRD FT-86 with "an actual TRD Toyota with all around performance gains that was available for sale through a Toyota dealership".

I want you to read this quote from C&D.



That improvement in at-limit behavior doesn't, however, mean that the limits themselves have expanded. Despite bigger tires and thicker bars, the TRD Celica only matched our last GT-S's 0.86-g skidpad orbit. Getting the most of the chassis changes on the track probably means adopting beefier rubber than this car's modest upgrade.On the road, there's notably more noise transmitted from the tires into the cabin than stock. That's not surprising, given the harsher springs and harder bushings, and it's just irritating enough that the sound could be maddening during daily commutes. The exhaust system adds to the cacophony, and the change in air filters is, we assume, responsible for the more pronounced octave shift as the VVTL-i variable valve timing kicks in at about 6000 rpm.
But although the exhaust and the intake change the sound of the Celica, there's nothing to indicate that they make it quicker. The TRD car's 7.5-second 0-to-60-mph clocking is 0.3 second slower than the last stock machine we tested, and the TRD's quarter-mile time of 15.7 seconds at 92 mph is 2 mph slower. There's no reason TRD's changes should have made the car much faster, but they shouldn't have slowed it down. We can only guess at the reasons for this small disparity.
