If you look hard enough, you can spot me in there (3) times.

@i3igpete shared nice compilation in other thread so im reposting this here, since i didnt see it before, maybe some1 will benefit.
Looking at this, Verus V1X seem to perform even better than Spage wing? Also, UCW seem doing pretty well, 9LR being very cost effective

It’s hard to directly compare data from different manufacturers since testing samples are not the same. i.e. tested wingspan width are different.

Made it easy for you. I'm in these three screengrabs

Has anyone been tracking a manual MKV? I'm kinda getting the itch for one.

I have been. Though this is my first full season ever of tracking. 5 events, 8 days in total under my belt so far

I had a chance to drive one of student's manual supra recently. It was fun and felt good but compare to my auto/pedal, I felt that I'm too busy shifting than driving. Although there aren't any compelling reason for me to switch to manual, any transmission you get, it would be a good platform.

Yes and it is very good

Every manufacturer's CFD is different levels of make believe.

Agree. You can compare all the charts you want but if it doesn’t translate at the track what good does it do.

The latter doesn’t even matter to most track guys, it’s whichever shop has the prettiest and colorful streamlines and plots that gets picked.

I had a 2021 that I tracked. I'm a diehard stick shift guy, though; I got bored of the auto and bought a C7Z M7 to track and eventually sold the Supra. I still love the hell out of the C7Z but I just sold my C8 so I'm looking for another stick car stablemate. There's nothing else in this price range that has my interest but I haven't seen much feedback on them on track, so curious what owners have to say.

Yeah? Tell me more.

I, too, was die hard manual guy with a motto that "If car is not stick shift, it's not a car" All my daily, track, and company car was manual. Those includes Acura Legend 6spd, bmw 535i 6 spd, Acura TL 6spd & ETC. Although supra is not my 1st automatic, once I learned to shift with pedal shifter, specially on this platform, it really does not make difference as far as driving on track but automatic provides a bit more protection to engine. not pushing for auto but whatever you get, it's a good platform to be on the track.
