Again, I've never been one to ask for more power from an 86, but it seems like the performance level the 4 cylinder supra is positioned at would be better served by a cheaper, hotter 86. Lessons learned from gaming: people always like it when something gets buffed, people always hate it when something gets nerfed.

Someday people will come to realize that the companies don't care what some teeny tiny percentage of the car buyers ask for. They will build to the majority and as sad as it may be the majority of car buyers now want ATs. It is a very good AT though.
Once again I will say that a much "hotter" version of the 86 would cost and spec in about the same as the low level Supra and that just ain't gonna' happen. Funny that the majority of people asked for a light weight NA sports car but then when they gave us one there is a number of people screaming "this isn't what we wanted".
