It blows my mind that some people have over a million dollars extra cash just sitting around to spend on stuff like this. The only way I'll ever make a million is when our currency hyper-inflates...

Wish Toyota would make a new one. It would be easy to do on the FT86 platform. Shove the engine/trans/firewall/windshield/front-seaters WAY aft, eliminate rear seat, instant modern 2000GT at 2700 lb. or less with 50/50 or better weight distribution This is such a great idea that there's no way it will happen

I thought Toyota already used the 2000GT as inspiration for the styling on the new 86's. So you could say they already did make it.
