I want Supra 3.0 in 1250kg GT85 body, how?Depends on what you want in a car. Both can be fun in their own ways. 86 is a fun car for sure, especially in autox. The car is light and handles beautifully. Supra can be fun if you like new things and more power but don't mind the more hefty build. It should be plenty quick for most people. Both cars are similar but very different in the philosophy, so pick one you prefer.
It's the driver, not the car...Went to a trackday last week, of 50 cars tracking, there was at least 10 Frs-brz-86, I think it proves that they are fun to drive!
One very cool thing that I discovered is that the guys can stack a full set of wheels with track tire in their 86 trunks, amazing!
I was the first ever MKV Supra to get on this track (track staff told me...). Itās a small track with tight curves and a few 86 owner told me that power wasnāt a factor on that track, and I agreed with them.
After my first session, was pretty much on par with the quickest 86 (on slicks) about a tenth quicker on a 51 second lap. Thatās when I figured out that my suspension was in normal (I configured it that way in the sport individual menu because road are roughs in my area).
2nd session, suspension in sport, lot less body roll, I was a full second faster than any 86, so I think we can say that the Supra handles pretty well. I told the top 86 Ā« Not bad for the Supra on OEM tires at a track where power means nothing as you said Ā»
We were having a good laugh and guys were good sport. I have no doubt they had great fun trying to beat my time!
Iād like to think so, but the car is so good itās almost like cheating!It's the driver, not the car...
Sounds like you've had some bad luck. Reliability is important to me, which is why I find BMWs reliability, and resale, off-putting, even with better warranty service from Toyota. The 86 has had 8 years for issues to surface and be corrected. Let's see how these 1st & second year BMWs hold up after that long. Your insulting an entire group of owners, including myself, is very ignorant. Your not doing the Supra community any favors with that, and this thread is not about your disdain for "the FRS/BRZ community".I owned an FRS for the past 8 years. It's a fun car, but it's disposable and the Subaru engine is a ticking time bomb. I bought both cars new and the first one was lemon-law'd after a timing chain malfunction. The second one had engine out warranty repair at around 20K miles due to VVT solenoid failure and oil leaks. My last FRS had just about every TRD Japan/USA suspension/chassis modification and it still didn't handle as well as the Supra does stock. The FRS/BRZ community is probably the worst part of owning one.
He is right, 86 engine is a ticking bomb. They are able to blow even driving normally on highway. On the other hand this inline 6 from BMW is bulletproof unless u push it very hard with tuning. I will take this engine over this Subaru crap any day of the week. Sure, the electronic gremlins on BMW's are common, but B58 is not N54 as an overall reliablity.Sounds like you've had some bad luck.
