of course it will.. if you want one, so does somebody else When compliance becomes available i'd say they would become very popular.. just like the soarer has been.
I was looking into it a bit.. the 1JZ-GTE on either the JZX90 or JZX100 is good for 300rwkw fairly easily with stock internals, stock gearbox, etc. 2nd in strength only 2 the supra engine, and that is a strong engine..
The main problem i had with the Chasers was that parts from o/s would be quite expensive, and of course getting them locally would be very difficult/expensive. Even things like exhaust systems or suspension would be very hard to track down. Either from o/s - big $$ and bugger all chance of getting them local. Turbo kits are hellish expensive for anything 1JZ-GTE, and apparently not meant to be the easiest to install - around $3k at least for something 2nd hand. And as the demand is less the prices are higher on them.
It would be an expensive car to modify, but would be worthwhile to have something slightly different.. Pimped up with nice rims and kits they look horn. Stock they really just look like a cross between Toyota Avalon and Camry (erk!)
PowerFC and things is available for the Chasers now which is a big plus.
Maybe one day when i have a lot of money to throw at a car, it would be a worthwhile one.
You have seen the price correct for a Toyota manual box ? and finding a supra 5 speed.. $$$$
