The purpose behind any custom car is to be unique. The purpose behind any racecar is to have high power to low weight. A MKII Supra weighs 3000 pounds, while a Muscle cars usually weight 2 tons or more. A Supra with the same engine as a muscle car would be much faster than a muscle car. The I-6 is nothing special, just a slightly tuned version of an engine configuration origianaly designed for Indy Racers. The V configuration is highly superior to that of the Inline configuration, which is why Toyota went with the V configuration for the later cars. Either way, anything done to any car to make it unique is good in my book.
