I loved our car the moment I saw it, and love it more after each modification. Had it nearly six years and don't expect to sell it until I can't get in it anymore (being an OAP). If you buy one of these just to keep it for a few years and move on to something else you will likely take a hit. I will never get back the money for the modifications undertaken, and never expected to, but the joy of this expensive hobby comes at a cost that I am willing to pay. The enjoyment I get from just going for a drive in this car is difficult to express in monetary terms. 😊

Does it really matter, don't you just buy a car because you want it not chase the next model. There will always be a hit on price to absorb at some point.

Who knows (apart from Toyota) what the future is for the 86 but as I see it they are two very different cars. Supra a sort of 2 seater luxury sports GT car with electric leather seats and all the creature comforts, a 4 banger just a poverty spec entry car. GT86 more a back to basics road legal track car (ok needs some readily obtainable mods) designed to appeal to a different sector. Pretty sure you can't get a set of wheels in the back of a Supra. As Toyota have registered the trademark GR86 in Europe (applied 18/9/18 - granted 9/1/19) seems likely we will at least get the chance to buy a new Gazoo version in the future even if that is the last variant. Let's be honest, the days of the ICE sports car are numbered due to emission regulations so we have to make the most of what is available and hang on to them as long as we can.

This is just pure speculation and has no credibility at this point.

It'll be absolutely fine. I took my car all the way to the old East of Germany and back with a TD manifold, no cats and their resonated exhaust. I've had mine on for 25K miles now, no problem. You won't hear it when cruising, you will hear it when you accelerate on a motorway. I have a serious sound system in mine I admit, was no issue though.
