Just remember, most folks won't appreciate excessive noise, in or outside the car...and the police can hear it, too...JDs car is dedicated track. Some tracks have noise limits...

JD, what tire/wheel set up are you running now?

There's not a straight panel on that car. It rolled multiple times. The cabin is intact, despite multiple impacts to the roof structure. This is a good example of one reason why I prefer hardtops. I survived a freeway rollover as a passenger, when I was ~17. I was in my best buddies' '82 Civic...

I hit a rough patch, near the crest of the back straight, passing traffic on the left. Didn't see them coming...a rude surprise on the R1. I didn't hit them again... ;)

So you mentioned livery and aero. Is the car going to be a track toy?

That shot with the glowing front rotors is cool. You still running stock rotors? How are they holding up?

Congrats on the result. COTA is a lot of fun. They've done some bump removal since I was there last. How is it?

What the hell happened to that car? Barrel roll into a field? Interesting structure on the hatch...the spoiler is plastic. Anyone know what that lighter colored plastic tube running around the inside of the hatch is? It looks like the structure of the car holds up well. I don't recall seeing one...

Does my heart good to see Toyota resuming their performance legacy. First the 86, and now Supra, performance results will not be denied. Enthusiasts in the know will respond. Looking forward to the release of the turbo 86. Thank you Toyota, for providing real sports cars for buyers across a wide...

Yes, weight savings are huge in many more ways than acceleration. Turning and braking to name 2. The well set up 2.0 will be a road course monster...

I think many may be pleasantly surprised at what the aftermarket is able to do with the 2.0. On a road course, I don't expect there to be a big performance difference between to two, especially on more technical track layouts. I do think a larger factory brake option on the 2.0 would be welcome...

The Toyota badge directly over the Supra rear badge is a nod that Toyota see more favorable brand recognition in the US, vs EU.

Yeah, I've never considered any car I've bought an investment, though I did sell my '08 S2000CR for more than I paid for it, after Honda dropped the car. If the Supra continues to perform well, and Toyota keeps owners happy, there's no reason the car should have BMW depreciation levels, long...

Yes...things like poor warranty service, poor reliability, high depreciation, sky high consumable parts, and having to pay the dealer to clear maintenance minders for oil changes kept me from buying German for 40 years, until I recently owned a '18 911. First car I ever owned that could drain a...

In any case, it's not likely that corona will increase demand for the car. I think we'll see sales come up some when the '21s land, then prices will gradually taper down again. In time, the car will prove itself against the competition, or not. The effects of internet hype are just as real as...

I would buy a '21 tomorrow at 5%+ below list. Trading in my '18 LC500 would work out to a lateral move on our personal balance sheet. Business is good at our Houston small animal vet clinic. Not everyone is running down to stand in a 3 hour line to panic buy all the toilet paper and bottled...

Dealerships generally adjust pricing relative to how long a given unit has been in inventory. In Texas, dealers pay monthly inventory taxes on what they have on the lot. When a car has been on the lot for 90 days, motivation to move it usually comes up. With so much economic fallout around the...

I wonder if tariffs in Germany raise Supra pricing, vs cars from domestic makers there.

If rumors that '21 production/delivery may be delayed indefinitely from COVID-19, pricing for '20s could harden up...supply and demand. Wonder if C8 production will slow?
