I was about to ask how, you plan on just grabbing a supra and sticking S4 badge on it?

Default Supra is a lousy chassis with a good engine...

NEVER known for decent handling...in fact Bobby Rahal did a promo day back when they were new and some of the language he used with the Toyota reps was unprintable.

That car is no better than a Camaro in the chassis department. Camaros can be MADE to go M4D fast around race tracks but they still have crappy underpinnings and wallow in their stock form (despite high grip levels).

There is a reason those things are extinct.

Default Programming wouldn't be a prob. Any competent tuners out there can do it. The thing is

that there is little room to work with under there. And you need a company to make custom exhaust manifolds. OR, have another company custom make some Garretts to fit our existing manifolds. A turbo is a turbo as far as tuning goes.
