Hey guys, I'll add what I know, I didn't read the previous pages.
1. The Lexus LF-A is NOT the Supra. That car is F-1 influenced with either a V-10 or V-8, depending on F-1 rules. This will be a LEXUS if made and a 125k supercar.
2. The Supra is under development using a shortned 2006 Lexus GS platform and the new 3.5 V-6 used in the IS 350. The engine is rated at 330hp (the IS 350 will have over 300hp).
3. Supra engineers are not 100% satisfied with weight and handling. They are not sure if they want to build a Supra off a dedicated chassis, which would delay the Supra and increase costs.

If they are going to wring 330hp out of a 3.5L V6 it is going to have a very high redline and a very him comp ratio for a Toyota motor. I'll have to see that to believe it (not saying you are wrong)
The 350Z is making 300 hp with variable valve timing on all four cams, but owners have alot of trouble getting another 20 whp with all the bolt on modifications so it will surprise me if that Supra comes stock with 330 in a 3.5L motor. It would be nice though....
