Ok, "legendary if you pull out the OEM time bomb of a motor and drop a pushrod V8 in it".

It's a great looking car, but it was outperformed by its peers when new. It was down on power substantially. It was great in the corners, but it was never as fast as the rest of the crew. And a 370Z is faster in every metric than a stock Supra / 300TT / RX7 etc. Cars have come a long way. A V6 Camry has more power than most of the early 90's performance cars.
