I think it looks faster on paper then the real world would turn out to be, there's only so much power that's useful in autocross on 200tw tires but it's a dimensionally smaller car then the 86 and coilovers and alignment should significantly up it's game from BS trim.

As above there's a proposal kicking around to make a faster ST class or put faster cars into STU, I don't recall where the preference is because I can't afford it either way and haven't been paying attention lol.

The Supra and other cars of similar capability are also not made in huge numbers, one thing I do appreciate about the SCCA is that they try to not make a car with only a few thousand on the road as the car to have. There are less then 10k supras in the us right now most with a fairly hefty price tag when you can get into a built Stu car for under $30k if you're savvy.

Edit: 4 banger Supra might be a good fit for Stu

The Supra is quite wide, which is a huge detriment in AutoX.
