First mods for me will likely be wheels/tires, then suspension.
Power can be added once the 'new' wears off. Forced induction, engine swap, even a bottle... With my Supra (and a lot of cars), adding power is a non-issue, cutting weight is infuriating...
So once I do go for the power, starting with 2420 lbs would give me a car boner. That's like knocking 1000 lbs off a Supra!
That's also a very price-dependent statement on my part. Would I pay $25k for 148 bhp and 2420 lbs? Nope.

I remember you posting that about wanting lower weight chassis in another thread. I just couldn't remember what you were planning on doing engine wise. What you said makes a lot of sense in many ways.
I just really hope we hear something (specific details) from Toyota about the car/engine in the upcoming months to carry us over until the production car is launched. Just need something.
