Haha, I guess I meant 45-ish, I read through the sales manual some time ago and it is a real hoot; full of corny phrases and wildly enthusiastic predictions and expectations of "the" Supra buyer.
Toyota put a lot of effort into the MKIV, both technically and marketing wise, for example they decided to use a side-mount intercooler over a front mount because test mules had heating problems driving from LA to Vegas in the summer with a FMIC installed. It was meant to be a California car for older males.
Another neat tidbit of info, Lexus used the JZA80 Supra chassis to develop their upcoming hi-po V8's because of its rock solid rigidity
