Vvti soarer, Less than $20k second hand, S6 2.5L Turbo, 206kw (really more though), 378Nm, 1560k pov pack, GT-L 1600kg plus, 0-400 ?
Going by the below thread a manual vvti with 3" from turbo back, intercooler and removed snorkel from the airbox ran 14.3.

So if I were paying that many more tens of thousands for a car that weighed similar to a soarer and had an extra Litre (3.5) I would expect performance to be way better than vvti soarer made a good ten years earlier.
What I meant is that the TRD Aurion is just the sport version of a base model Aurion. An XR6 Turbo will always have its roots in a falcon. A supra is an all out sports car, its not like an up specced Camry. Where are these models in the Toyota line up?
