Passive aftermarket dampers will cost less and there would be no need to bypass an electronic damper system with special modules or tuning. Damper and spring upgrade would only be necessary for autox/track tires.
I guess my ideal A90 would be the base 2.0 Supra equipment with the 3.0 engine. It would fill in the Supra line up nicely between the 2.0 and 3.0. Take $3000 off the price of the base 3.0.
Give me the 6 cylinder engine, passive dampers, mechanical LSD, floating caliper brakes, manual seats, 4 speaker stereo, $46000.
Includes mechanical LSD.

Idealy, yes. But sadly, it won't be available a la carte. That would be nice though. Maybe we'll have more build options in future model years.
Also, you bring up a good point - track vs daily. I think it's already a great set up for the street as it is. Many have already complained about its characteristics (in stock form) around a track.
A 2.0 with a tune for the track and a 3.0 Premium for DD?
I'm sure the aftermarket will solve those issues with plenty of swaps and upgrades. It didn't take us long to have the ability to completely gut our twins and mod to our liking.
On a side note, $50K+ is a bit much for me too. I'm hoping for a low miles, low $40s 3.0 Premium in a year or two. But I'm still enjoying my FI manual BRZ, so I can wait...
