Maybe Toyota should have just turbocharged the FRZBGT86 and charged 30-35k for it.
The Zupra is going to be priced alongside a 500hp Mid Engine DCT Corvette, a flat plane crank, +8000rpm, manual only, track beast Mustang, etc.
If anything, the Hellcat and Z06 are the modern "Supras".

I'm more disappointed at the fact that the Supra doesn't come in manual. I'm sure the whole drivetrain can handle some good power.
