Lol, please kindly read the car I drive! ;) But on the other hand, ....I did say robbing a bank is on my bucket list! Moving the date up on the list is always an option!!! ;) Also for the fun, here's a link to "who" can swing it to make the purchase possible! It's all about priorities in life...

One of the advantages of DCT in high rpm high Hp car is the chance a mis-shift at red line is controlled. That's why most astute buyers of track oriented performance car do an ECU dump and look for over revs. On the track, with high Hp and a non synchro tranny, unless you short shift, the...

And the engine sound. The music is a bit too loud at the start, at the end of video you can hear it better:

Well, I guess dealers meeting today didn't reveal any more details on price and ordering: Hi Kamran: At this moment there is no visibility on what our allocation may be. As more information becomes available I will gladly share it. Kind regards, Michael Michael Xxxxxx Internet Sales Director

Fold downs with access to trunk is very handy even when I go to the lumber yard! I've used my silly little FRS to pick up mattress and full size bed (both together in one load) from ikea! I always get a look from everyone around when I pick up stuff at HomeDepot, while they load up fertilizers...

Hmmm you don't like the Mazda 3 front smiley face! But it looks so happy! Joking aside, and the rather outdated styling aside, it almost looks like they were just trying too hard at the last minute, and throwing everything including the kitchen sink material at the front end. IMHO NSX front end...

Holy macaroni! This is scary... The only word that was worded differently was I said "...get off the pot", and the writer says "...get off the assembly line". For political reasons I'm sure! I think I'm going to stop posting here, cause it appears almost as if I'm forging and posting what the...

As long as they commit and set a date, and start taking deposits to lock the enthusiasts in, in case they run off to some other brands, that would be a smart move. Dragging the concept car around for one more year, until the design wears off of people and becomes old news is not a smart...

Funny article...I absolutely relate. When Audi TT concept car showed its face, dealers immediately started taking orders. Lots of false promises were made by Audi, such as it'll be a limited production of 2000/year, etc, etc. One of the fools that was suckered in by this, then, revelationary...

I appreciate the development and all. Toyota isn't exactly green in this arena. Plenty of experience with their race cars, prototypes, and Lexus sport and super cars. The problem with over-showing a car over and over, over the years before it hits production is that it looses much of its "wow"...

As much as it is against my religion to buy a Corvette, they are looking more and more attractive. With the new GT3 engines still ways to go to be fully developed and track proven, the only "new" car engine out there robust enough for tack-use/abuse is the Vette. Although there was that one...

With all these brands showing off their new cars and stamping the date on production dates, Toyota better get off the pot and publicly commit to something! Otherwise many fans who are not "brand" loyal and sitting on the sideline may just pull the trigger and go with what is real and available...

More engine sound. Watch through the credits at the end for more. Love the metallic engine whine:

You can hear the engine here. Love the metallic engine whine! Watch through the end credits for more engine sound...

I just had a nasty thought! With Ford GT using an engine based on their race winning Daytona Prototype, wouldn't that be cool if Toyota did the same...? They haven't announced the engine yet, so there's time to follow suit.

Ummm! I wish, or should I say you wish! ;) The 2005/6 models with MSRP of about $150K are selling for $275K+, and if you were one of the lucky 300 who ordered the Heritage paint scheme for $13,000 your value is $475K to $500K!!! Yowser, I'll buy two of them all day long if you can find them...

Forgot to mention...R8ish with the "cute" Mazda 3 smiley face!

Looks a bit R8ish....

I called the dealer to see what the price is and what it takes to get in line. I don't think he even knew about it! He said he will get back to me after he's done some research!!!! Anyone know the MSRP, other than the rumored $140-$160K?

That's an interesting question. When the Japanese sport cars all stopped production, I believe it was because the insurance rates killed their young demographic. They could no longer qualify or afford the premiums and therefore not many were buying. So I asked my trusted agent and this is what...
