Oh man that thing is gonna be hot. Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if we took that new 400+hp engine and dropped in a Supra.....with a massive turbo.....and a tad bit of tuning. I can imagine that thing would sing.

I'm dying to get my hands on that 8-spd. I heard it kinda sucks in the new LS (haven't driven it though), but if they've really improved it to be that quick of shifting, that sounds like sex on wheels.

I heard Toyota had bought shares of Fuji Heavy Industries last year. But had never heard any follow up on it until now. It was a pretty quiet deal so you shouldn't be surprised that some of the people here haven't heard about it before.
