Then come to find that it's not as fun anymore because things start to break more often and they can't really put all that power to the ground.
Then you look at the Toyota B58 Supra platform, much much more efficient in propel its evolution of an M generation development and road.
We are definitely losing the arms race in the areas of aftermarket support relative to the mkv Supra, which came out many years later than the F8x platform (circa US 2015) yet they've already cracked into the 8s on the 1/4 mile just recently.
That's unacceptable to me. if I were running the performance division of a major car brand, I'm sorry but heads need to be

I never thought people bought this car, myself included to run 8 sec QTR mile times? It was more of a somewhat quick vehicle with loads of comfort. Just doesn't seem like the right vehicle to be doing that. Just my opinion.
