Still, for this market, and especially at this altitude it'll suck. Take an N/A Miata up to Mt Evans and see how much "fun" it is. On the downhill, sure, going up...get out and push...

And at an estimated MSRP of $28k you may as well get the cheaper Hyundai Turbo Genesis Coupe or one of the 300hp V6s from them, or in the Mustang and Camaro base coupes.

Rumor has it that there *might* be a turbo for the first refresh, so maybe in 2014/2015 there'll be one...if anyone still cares by then.

New Supra? Believe it when I see it. They could have done a new Supra instead of the LFA, but they opted to go high-end instead.


theres a lot more to a car than power. a genesis coupe weighs what 600lbs more than the toyobaru? and is a much bigger vehicle. the stang is even bigger and they already said the base price will be 24k. these are eye opening if you havent seen them:





but i agree on the power, plus suby motors are ghey. we have a customer (that is a toyota nut, mkiv supras, 2jz swapper 600hp taco) that already ordered the first FRS to come into pedersons toyota and hes driving it straight to us to see about an STI motor swap. but back on topic with the stang, racing is expensive but those kinds of cars arent a bad way to get into a super fast new car thats all ready to go. building a car that could be competitive with that stang and be as reliable would cost as much if not more. in the end EVERYBODY wins with the rejuvenated rivalry for fast machines, whichever drink you prefer.
