I'm not gonna argue that Mustangs are a fantastic performance bargain right now. Plus the S550 chassis is nothing to sneeze at. But I think the Supra might take pretty well to 3 little mods too! Downpipe, tune, and maybe a little corn juice and I think we should see decent power numbers. From what I hear the stock turbo should have a little headroom.
It's gonna be the tuners that take this car to the finish line I think.
I’ve spent a decent amount of time in the S197 Shelby and owned a S550 GT PP for 10 months and now have a GT350. The departure from the S197 to the S550 is tremendous and the car drive really really well and well behaved. If you ever get a chance to drive a GT350, you’ll see how badass a car it is. Imagine a faster Evo9 with similar steering and handling. GT350 is nothing like the mustangs of the past .. it’s even a ton better than a Standard issue GT.I'm not gonna argue that Mustangs are a fantastic performance bargain right now.

I really need to get into a GT350! A friend of mine just bought one but he lives far from me so no idea when I'll be able to drive it. He does however take every opportunity to send me exhaust clips
. That motor will for sure be in the "Best Sounding Hall of fame" for a long time. ). I just dropped it off and didn't say anything and they fixed it lol. But I've heard dealership horror stories too, it's almost always inevitable really.
Agreed. Hopefully the knuckle heads in Houston are nice. My Viper dealer is amazing.. they actually did the H/C pkg for me and warranty everything through the dealership. Hehe.I really need to get into a GT350! A friend of mine just bought one but he lives far from me so no idea when I'll be able to drive it.

As far as warranty goes, I feel as though we're at the whim of the dealerships so it's a mixed bag. I had an axle replaced under warranty on my old FRS despite it having full exhaust and lowered (and the fact that it got launched/drifted every weekend
My experience with dealers is that if you change the downpipe, you void the turbo warranty as they're literally connected and back pressure matters. If you tune/flash/chip the car, you void the warranty for fueling, engine, ecu/dme, perhaps even unrelated electronics modules. That being said, you can probably just return back to the stock map and they'll be none the wiser. I'll be curious if Dinan and/or TRD might fill in this market demand. Given how TRD has been lately, I doubt it. They stopped that with the tC and didn't offer shit for the FRS.
