Performance enthusiasts many times practice the art of reverse investment. Rather than pay 50k for a fast car, we buy a 30k car, put 25k into it making it worth 10k and never reach the performance of the 50k car

And in many, many, many cases as soon as they are done all the work they sell (at a loss as you pointed out) and move onto the next project. These are the project enthusiasts that really enjoy the work more than the finished product. There is nothing wrong with that and I have done the same thing several times with classic restorations.

Anyways, like stated in the first page, I’m sure there’s going to be a good amount of people modifying the lower trim Supras and why not. It’ll look good, cheaper, have good power still, handle well, and maybe more reliable Of course we won’t know till see it, but still interesting

That was my thought too. The guys with the GT350R doesn't give two shits that the 4cyl Eco Boost exists and is effecting the value and exclusivity of his car.

I've done the same thing. I've also spent 100k on cocaine and prostitutes over a period of time. Not sure which was less of a waste though. At least I never had a ricer squid try to race my slow prostitute

Never say never

And it is official.

The presenter implied that we would all be impressed with the sports car value versus price of the 4 cylinder model. We shall see.

200 lbs lighter than the 3.0 model but loses some stuff like electric seats, smaller rotor/calipers, the Supra 2.0 does not have the Active Differential and Adaptive Suspension used on the 3.0 model, 4 speaker vs 10.

[mazeroni]

The 430i is $44,950, while the 440i is $51,350. Going off that pricing, I'm going to wager that the 2.0 will cost around $43,000.

LOL
"The 2021 Supra 2.0 offers an intermediate model between the Toyota 86 and the Supra 3.0, giving the customer three distinct Toyota sports car choices."

Can we kiss all the "MR is being released next because Toyota said they would have three sports car choices" rumours goodbye now?

Correct, pretty much TNA brought SZ w SZ-R engine to it... which I'm kinda disappointed, but hey, at least they brought more options for more people.

Most fans are happy to see they're bumping hp up... but few MY20 Supra owners aren't happy to see 50hp bump. SOL

I don't mind the power, I just want a manual option and functional vents.

But at least they have the exclusivity of having the first model year A90

Probably because it's a design that looks Toyota and didn't change as much in the final product and wasn't really based on anything. The Supra still shows quite a bit of BMW on the exterior, and it's especially clear when comparing it to the FT-1 and then its Z4 counterpart. The Supra just looks like a compressed FT-1 built around the base of a Z4.
