  1. Lazy MT shifting

    Didn't realize this - I learned something new today! Random and probably dumb question since we're talking rev matching - is it a bad idea to try to manually rev match and then let the car sort things out if I don't get it just right? I'm learning the spacing between the gears and figuring out...
  2. Manual or automatic?

    I get that. That would make the automatic much more palatable. I suppose that highlights how auto v. manual question can come down to a person's circumstances.
  3. Manual or automatic?

    When I was looking to buy, I saw these threads get pretty intense like but it's a personal preference thing so I suppose that's not unexpected. I know it's not this simple and there's more nuance but I bought a manual because if all I cared about it speed and cutting tenths of a second off...
  4. 2023 A91MT-M3 Comp 2023 (trade in)

    Before settling on buying a Supra and then a C8 and ending up on a Supra again, I first looked very seriously at the M3/M4. I'm very happy with the decision to go Supra. It's significantly less expensive but the M3 gives you a really good combo of practicality and performance. Not a lot of...
  5. Break-In Period Driving Habits

    Thankfully the dealer is about 50 miles from me (ironically the distance they may have driven the car before I got it)...if i had a good experience i would have maybe made the trip for service since I appreciated that the sales person called me when the car became available and I'd have...
  6. Break-In Period Driving Habits

    Thanks! On both points! I see the lab name in the title there. I can probably just go look them up but how much oil is needed and how long did it take for the results to come back? Having some objective evidence like that would be pretty handy in a few different ways. Thanks to the others that...
  7. Break-In Period Driving Habits

    Quick follow up: thinking about using my MT Supra to go to work 60 miles away in each direction. Highway use is unavoidable to get there but what I figure I can do is go -10 speed limit to speed limit and let it engine brake down while never maintaining the same speed...but I imagine the load at...
  8. Break-In Period Driving Habits

    That's a good point about the YouTube people or generally the group that doesn't follow break in procedure. From reading other threads about the break in it seems like the oil burning and other issues don't really have any real trends...though I suppose the car is relatively new still and there...
  9. Break-In Period Driving Habits

    Hate to have my first post be resurrecting a thread with no post for months but... I bought a 3.0L premium MT a few weeks ago. I saw the car the day it got to the dealership and came off the truck. It was covered in plastics and I couldn't open the door with the key fob (battery on the fob...
