Or a Scion company like PTuning makes a bolt on turbo kit for $5k for 250whp. Or countless other scenarios that annihilate stock Zs and upgraded GCs.

Sounds like what you guys want is that this car is a Miata-type car that can't be upgraded, so you can laugh at us delusional fanbois, blissfully ignorant to your horsepower in our corners, as you blast by on the straights in your more powerful cars. But that only works if the FT86 isn't easily upgradeable. Don't count on it.
I'm still here because we still don't know what to expect from the production FR-S. Assuming it stays under 2700#s, the sole redeeming quality about the car will be having a motor that is easily swapped out for an ej257. I'll pass on the NA to FI turbo kits.

I want the car to be a success, because it would give the Supra a platform to build on.
