The Altezza in japland is a IS220 - 4clyd turbo 6speed - yes we have been blessed with the toyo 3.0 ltr but only with a 5speed auto, soon to be man. but no turbo.
And I love ford and love what they've done with the new cobras but the new cobra is the ONLY f-body, minus high-priced vettes/vipers that could take on a Evo7,STI or Altezza. The front driver 4 bangers - Civic-R,RSX-R,"soon to come RS Focus" can easily out handle unless you sport a DOHC-R.
It seems america is making it easy to buy a long-lasting semi-sports car FWD/AWD and putting a larger price tag on the RWD V8s -
