The 3s isn't that expensive, so I don't that has held it back at all. The MKIV Supra isn't cheap. The motor and drivetrain have held it back. It requires more work to get farther, which Josh has been doing.
The weight is a huge issue, so are some major drivetrain issues. Things are getting better for the market, only time will tell where it walls again.
