The first car I want to buy is a Scion TC with a 5 speed manual! Modify a little so I can rip it on the tōge a little, then I want to get my absolute dream car, an FRS/BRZ!! Then later down the line I want to own a RHD JDM car, don't know which one yet tho!

What about you guys?!

Also the picture is a display of 86s and BRZs in Maryland!

The one in the 5th Gen supra had Toyota engineers all up in it. So you get German engineering power with Toyota engineering reliability.

I know they are basically the same motor, but the supra one does have a bunch of little changes that the Toyota guys made.

And Frankly I trust the Japanese engineers with my cars far more than I trust the Germans. I like my cars reliable first and foremost. A broken car is slower than the slowest working car.

They unfortunately didn't do shit to it. That's all PR talk, the techs all had to be trained on the BMW motor. Don't get me wrong its a performance motor and it's an I6 but don't feed into the "Toyota made it great" PR crap they pulled. It's just a body kitted z4 at the end of the day.
