And I used to drink the Mizuno kool-aid myself back in the day, but then I started driving more cars and realized that he has a fair amount of marketing obligation. I've driven GTRs, and I love them, but to say that a fast car has to be heavy is just not true.
Because you asked, I don't want to keep going off topic. I want to keep talking about the benefits weight has for traction on a daily driven supercar by a non-professional driver, but if I don't concede the last word this will keep going. In the end we will have to see what Toyota brings.
