I had a lot of fun in both a DC2 Type R, Jap SW20 245hp MR2 Turbo (1.1 bar apexi avc-r) and the ITR has so much rev range and so much feedback but the MR2 was like a rocket once the boost was turned up. The thurst from the 3SGTE on CT-20 turbo was ferocious even by today’s standard.
The ITR...
The context of my gripe was the Prelude has similar horsepower than it’s predecessor thst was released 30 years ago and it is still slower because of the extra weight. I am comparing it to a sports car of an older model by the same manufacturer. Its not being compared to anything else yet...
Honda is a joke these days. Releasing a new Prelude that has similar horsepower as the one (2.2 vtec) that was released 30 years ago.
Their mindset on sports car are really 30 years behind
Hardly ever happened to me in Sydney and my car has an aero kit with a big wing and a flashy colour. The hoon laws here are so straight that people mostly don’t street race anymore as there are a lot of better things to enjoy then ending up wrapped around a tree or in jail
Lol, they probably won’t do shit cause you have already handed them the money for the license. If there are 1000 people going to hand out their money to bm3 then they will act like…yesterday. From the look of it I will go with custom tune (bm3) cause that’s what all the tuners here prefers
Like now???
Which car brand has 6MT on offer for all of their sports/sporty car line up? Toyota was the only one sticking to their guns in not going the direction of all EV, unlike most of the European car brands. Even Porsche wants to drop ICE for the next cayman/boxster series until the EU...

A Porsche GT3RSR running in the higher Plazmaman Pro Am class is actually slower than all the 3 Supra running in the lower Haltech Clubsprint class. The Supras are also all faster than...
Horseshit
Alll the Supra needs s a set of coilovers, RE71RS, brake fluids and a stock GTS with a equivalent driver will not be able to go faster. I see a lot of Porsche GTs got demolished by light moded Supras at the Sydney Motorsports Park which is also where the World Time Attack event is...
[POTENZA RE-71RZ vs RE-71RS] Super lap comparison by Toshiki Oyu at Tsukuba Circuit ~ Juichi Waki...
(Turn on subtitle auto translate to English to understand the context)
The RZ is close to 1s faster than the RS on a 1 minute race track on that GR86.
It is still the strategy to introduce young buyers to the GR brand and move them up to a higher GR model as they get older and they might buy some other Toyota or Lexus models to carry family or use in their job.
Time will tell whether it will be another flop like the NSX V2. I don't think they...
Nah, lower pricing models are the bread and butter for the brand because they sell more and is the key to getting buyers to go for the more $$$ model 10 years down the track
Same feelings…also no 6MT and not pure ICE.
Hopefully the next Supra will be just as flowing looking as the A90 with the option of a 6MT, coupled with an I6 with no hybrid assistance. The 2L version can get hybrid instead

Too much emphasis on power and the suspension and wheels setup is not on par from my perspective.
With that amount of power you should be running Hipermax R. I am on Hipermax S and it’s brilliant but no way the spring rates and damping force is sufficient for the dynamics of a 700hp car.
You...
Yes, the A052 is more of a tuner’s tire, requiring proper suspension and wheels setup to get the most out of it.
I guess this is where the 71RS shines so brightly. Setting out anazing lap times for cars on stockish suspension.
If it can live up to the marketing claims, this is the GOAT, The RS is already the current performance leader in so many metrics, even against TW 100 like the Supercar 3R.
Finding the Best All-Around Competition Tire – 2025 Test 4F
I have driven nearly every JDM hero cars from the golden 90s/00, even owning quite a few (modded) and I can tell you the GR Supra beats them all and I don't miss any one of those cars as long as I have my Supra. You just have to get a set of good coilovers, wider wheels and run on 200TW tires...
