It feels like the RC-F Track Edition and upcoming LC F. ;) Toyota has specific leather and interior smells, specific door chime, specific turn signal sound etc.

Would be nice to see a comparo like this one between the current m2 and the Supra. Now theres 2 cars aimed at the same market more or less. Closer then the z4 anyways. Has the m2 been updated to a b58 yet though? I thought it was running the old N series still.

M2 Competition has the S55 engine from the M3/M4, detuned to 405HP (I consider the M2 to be traction limited so it probably couldn't handle more power).

Judging by how the new 86 and supra are according to reviews, good handling that's easy to control over/understeer, and suspension that's not too stiff

Nothing,considering a Civic DX
Guys
I know its early
But based on this drag race 12s
How much additional hp supra needs to be in GTR/NSX territory?
Also what are the easiest way?
Turbo + exhaust?
I mean, it just needs 100lb ft of Torque

I believe modern Toyota sports cars feel hybridized. Personally, I’ve driven both the 86 and BRZ, and the twins feel like both; it can feel like a Toyota and/or Subaru. I believe the same applies to the Supra/Z4 partnership. Bottom line is....modern Toyota sports cars are good and enjoyable to drive. :drive:

I think the supra does very well against the much much more expensive Caymam GTS in acceleration and braking.

And it crushes the Audi ttrs.

It’s not a difficult question. The B58C has a headifold with water cooling, the B58D has a manifold without. The heads are different to support the different exhaust strategies.
The z4 m40i in my country produces 340 hp from the factory like the supra. Does this mean they both use b58C engines?

The Z4 has the B58D but has a particle filter that limits the power in countries that require it for emission purposes
