I think the whole topic came out , because it was believed somehow that Mr. Tada didn't like turbos and now that Supra is coming he has to convince people that he is not opposed to turbos.
"I do like turbos, however if we come up with a turbo version of the 86 and boost up the power that would result in the necessity of changing the basic configuration completely, to come up with a car that I would be satisfied with,”
“One characteristic of the 86 is that in terms of the front balance its slightly front loaded so it makes the handling more fast and agile. So if we were to come up with a turbo version, we would have to go change the weight balance between the front and the rear."
“That means we have to come up with a completely new platform, so it’s not about just changing or slight modification in the engine parts,”
This is really a character or characteristic, if you don't like the other term, of the 86. The only difference is that I don't really think a supercharger or a combination of NA mods and weight reduction ruins the above.
