Like I said, try to get your hands on a 997 GT3, and don’t look back, lol.
The E46 M3, CSL, GTS, E9X M’s, 1M, E39 M5, E60 M5.....
Only time will tell, but to say it wasn’t BMW’s best decade, I disagree. If you are referring from 2010 to now, there might be some truth to it.
The f355 and 993 turbo of the 90’s were no joke, they are legendary cars today. The Supra was in the middle of the pack during those days, the C5 vette, NSX, e36 M3, during testings in 97/98.
Very interesting about the manual transmission bit. First time I’ve heard that. Curious to know what he specifically means by “up to his specs.” The upcoming M3 with manual transmission is 470-500 hp in base and competition spec. I wonder if Tada san is referring to the nature of the tuning...
Yes, I do, and I will say this, and this is from my perspective and encounter, not facts at all. Many of the Supras got that reputation because the whole jdm crowd at the time were all focused drag cars, high hp. This is in the states so I can’t speak in other parts of the world. Take all that...
Each their own, I just gave a few examples off the top of my head, we can go on and on about this and give millions more, but I take it, you already know what I mean.
We get it though, it gets old, it’s not going to change a damn thing in the end. It’s like bmw owners complaining about the new kidney grills every chance they get, I personally don’t like them, but I am not going to go on and on about it in every thread I post in. People at this point are just...
The FD rx7 and NSX were more exciting cars, imo. I’m going by the whole “drivers” car perspective. They both had better chassis, better steering feel/feedback, lighter, and more nimble.
The MK4 was a fun car no doubt in its own right. But no one cared for the driving aspect of the car in the...
Have you driven a ZF8? If not and you get a chance drive a M5 or Alfa, it’s really good!! I would say the only other transmission that is better and more “involving/aggressive” would be the PDK from Porsche which is a ZF with Porsche tuning.
So, after months after the cars reveal, (knowing it is auto only so far) you finally decided on not buying it since it doesn’t have a manual? Mmm, Ok.... lol
The Alfa Romeo runs a 8 sp ZF with 505 hp, car is around the 3800 pound range and hits high 3’s.
I still think the Supra weighs less than advertised, I’m guessing in the 3250+ range.
