The BRZ and FT-86 are nothing but Hyndai Genesis rip-offs ...IMO. They look very similar and the numbers are lower than the Hyundai V6's numbers.
Question is, will the BRZ/FT-86 be a good platform for TT or SC? The car is light but 200HP is not enough, put at least 250HP and the car looks to be pretty solid. Again...IMO

What year are you talking? I bought a 97 Supra TT Anniversary Edition for 35K. It had 10K miles on it and was mint. Brand new they were going for low 40's at most dealerships, I never saw any for over 45K not even the 98 Quick Silver which was rare and highly sought out.

I sold the Supra in 2004 with 86,000 miles for ...35K (and it was paid off ) Probably the only car I'll ever own where I could sell it for what I bought it for years later. If Fast and Furious never came out I'd probably still have the car today but once that movie came out, cops would follow me around waiting for me to do something and after a bit that got old so I sold it.

I think the Z is basically the modern day Supra except it is slightly faster right out of the box and of course N/A. Having owned the Supra, the Z is very similar in most ways. Too bad the Z isn't TT from the factory!
