For me was an orange Dodge Challenger. I saw him a mile away in my rear view mirror weaving through traffic on the highway just to catch up with me to look at the car. Gave me a thumbs up and drove off.

Wow, that is lame if he can't tell the difference between an 86 and Supra. Must not be a real car guy. The 86 has been around so long that it would be hard *not* to recognize one instantly if you have any remote knowledge of cars.So I got my Supra 6 days ago. I had an 86, which I traded in. So, two days before I got the Supra, I was driving home and there is a nice 2-lane 90-degree right turn on the way, and I spy through the rear mirror a bimmer (M2C) approaching very fast and he smokes me around the turn and out of it. No biggie.
Here’s where it gets funny: my daughter is friends of a friend of the M2C guy in Facebook, and she said, “dad, I just saw somebody put up a pic of what looks like you getting toasted on a corner.” I asked to see it, and sure enough it’s me, and the asshat wrote that he “just smoked my first Supra”!
Needless to say, now that I have a Supra and it’s the same color as my 86, I really hope he tries that again.
is your supra stock??My buddy has a FD RX7 with a single turbo upgrade and was talking a lot of smack about a Supra vs RX7 showdown when I got mine. He even put $50 on the race to prove his point. Needless to say my wife and I had dinner on him that night. Haha
It ended up running a 12.4 with IAT's around 145f and spinning.
i can imagine people saying "bro, that's an 86"Wow, that is lame if he can't tell the difference between an 86 and Supra. Must not be a real car guy. The 86 has been around so long that it would be hard *not* to recognize one instantly if you have any remote knowledge of cars.
Sometimes it gets tedious driving a sports car because everyone seems like they are out to prove something. Half the time it's cars (or pickup trucks ) that don't have a chance but I still have to ignore them and that wears me out. I don't approve of street racing plus I have a wonderful family to go home to, so there's no way I will engage morons like that.
LOL well tbh I would've been fine with it as long as they don't touch the car. What I tell everyone is this "Treat other people's car like you treat other people's women, look but don't touch"So far the funniest (and kinda sad) thing that has happened after 9 days of ownership:
Last night I’m walking to my car and a guy asks me if it’s OK if he takes a pic of it. Sure, no problem. So he takes a pic on his phone and then immediately motions to some people in a nearby beat-to-heck mini-van who turn out to be his family. They come out—wife carrying an infant and 5 kids under the age of 10—and the guy asks if I’ll take a pic with his phone of him and his family standing by the car.
What do you say at this point except, sure dude?
When I got home and told my wife the story, she said, “The next time that happens, you give them the car.”
Love the stripes and roof!This funny thing happened to me last night when I drove home from the PPF shop. I was driving on the middle lane and out of nowhere a decked out Subaru STI drove right upto me on the left lane. He was matching my speed to check out my car. Then a Maserati grande turismo pulled up on my left side doing the same thing. The 3 of us were traveling blocking all the cars behind us. Everytime I sped up or slowed down they would match my speed. Eventually I had enough and put on sports mode and took off. It was funny.
wowI was at costco filling up gas and an older guy and his son walked up to my car looking at it and started talking to me. He said he helped designed the car and recently retired as a chief design engineer from toyota in California. He said he worked with Tada San on both the 86 and this car, he mentioned that the initial car that they designed with California Design was longer and much wider like a lambo... he mentioned they actually had to shrink the body to mate it to the Z4 chassis
At that point it had just an intake and Map 3 on JB4. He says he's going to turn his boost up for a rematch but now I'm full catless downpipe and will be using MHD Tuning for a reflash. Should be in the 11's no problem next time.is your supra stock??
