Thats good to know i remember for a while there people were having major issues with electronic systems interferring with race cars with people trying to mod them and they go into limp mode at a sniff of anything not normal. This all makes the supra even more appealing as a base for a circuit car now. with the factory engine.

I've been thinking the same thing. I thought Jackie's Supra build was a sure win against the Evo, but Shawn pulled ahead in (almost?) every race.
Shawn's Evo has a 2.2L build with G25-660 if I'm remembering his IG posts correctly. Not exactly a basic build, but it's also not exactly exotic for an Evo.
Between the two, the Supra is definitely the better platform out of the box. Great handling and power with a warranty. The $51K price of entry is steep relative to the Evo, though. It will be interesting to see how these hold their value.

I was surprised at my last track event at Sebring raceway FL, I saw almost as many of these Supra's as Corvettes; so it appears to be a desirable track car. My last track car was a 2001 Corvette and I swore I'd never go back to the track w/o AWD so I'm more than happy with the EVO but I'm also a Toyota guy and these cars seem to do quite well on the track. Nice cars. But do you miss the AWD?
