If you want power, don't get the FTO. Sure you can swap other engine into it and produce healthy figures but it's FWD. You will always get maga traction problems once you start putting more power through the front wheels.
Supra's are also easier to extract more power out of. Plus the amount of aftermarket parts for them.

They weren't. I think he's talking about the need to convert it to LHD for use in the US, but I don't know that the law over there requires that??

I think there are 3 FTOs in the States now, so if you want to be original (and you can get it legally registered) get the FTO.
Otherwise get a LHD Supra I suppose.
