If you want a Manual MKV Supra, buy a M2 or M2 comp. I started saving up many years ago for the MKV at the expense of putting money in big power mods for my MK4. Which in hindsight was a good decision. I've made my choice to lease a used F80 M3 6MT with warranty instead of disappointment that is the MKV. The M2 is probably closer comparison to a MKV, but can't beat the 4 door practicality of the M3. If the M2 is like a Supra, then I guess the M3 is more like a Chaser or Mark II.

B58 coolant loss, pump failures, squeaky pumps are happening to cars as low as 10,000km. I can just imagine Toyota techs bitching comes time for warranty.

I dreamt of a Yamaha 3JZ that makes 500hp stock and 800 on stock internals. Mated to a Getrag or aisin 6MT capable of holding 1000 hp. And the thing will run for at least 30 years long after the chassis has rotted away.
