Lexus halo car is still the LFA. LC500 is not the pinnacle. Wait for the LC-F ;)
GR Supra 3.0L is already comparable or better than the Cayman GTS for the price point. Probably the reason why Porsche made the Cayman GT4. And still needed to up the game with the soon to be Cayman GT4 RS...
I agree with sir @A70TTR. GRMN is like Supra GT4 but road legal. Slotted in between the Supra 3.0L and the Supra GT4. If you notice, GRMN is not just about more power, but refinement, balance, driver focus, more lightweight, less comfort creatures etc..this entails added cost given this will be...
Just look at the Supra GT4 specs. Most of what you’ve mentioned are already there. It’s the closest to a production Supra GRMN.
** also “praised / praising”
Eibach Sway Bars front and rear
Eibach Pro Kit Springs with your active suspension
Lightweight wheels & good tires
Seat time
Should be an awesome combination for street-track setup! Cheers!
Doug’s review has been a little bit nicer in this 2021 Supra 3.0L compared to his 2020 Supra 3.0L review. Over-all, GR Supra is still a great modern day turbo-powered sports car! The yearly additional refinements seem to make it more solid as a whole & more coveted IMHO :thumbsup:

FTSpeed.com’s A90 Supra also rolls with Eibach ProKit! The drop is spot on and and still retains good ride comfort. Yet with an aggressive looking stance, i guess it still maintains or improves handling dynamics!
Very nice drop! I love the wheel/tire and suspension setup. Looks spot on! I see you are using Michelin PS4S. What are your tire and wheels specs? TE37s SL? Using any wheels spacer? Something I’d want to do in the future. Definitely I’d go for Eibach ProKit springs and sway bars eventually.
Although dubbed as the high-performance version of the B58, the S58 is an entirely different inline6 turbo engine. Twin turbo vs the single twin-scroll turbo. I'm not sure if Toyota also signed for it with BMW but I'm not hoping or expecting for it. Toyota can just place a different Toyota...
GRMN will be using a tuned version of the 382ps 2021 GR Supra B58M30O engine going to a healthy >400ps with more rigidity & lightweight components as expected (vs the 2020 GR Supra B58B30C engine making 335ps stock) As always, too much boost and over-tuning it to the limit will almost always...
Both are fun cars! This is not about 86 vs Supra (apples vs oranges) It is about which is more "FUN" to drive. Though fun can be very subjective, it's more HOW you drive and PUSH your car to the limits which actually makes it more fun!
Usual recipes for fun!
Lightweight, balanced, high revving...
Sway bars act like your springs. They do have a certain “effective spring rate” depending on the thickness and the level of adjustment (if feasible)
advantages of upgrading your sway bars are
1. you don’t need to suffer harsh ride quality due to poor road conditions when using very stiff...
Verus Engineering GR Supra went with Eibach ProKit springs. Looks spot on ;)
Great to know it comes complete with 4x bumpstops and damper covers. With lowering springs, you can still use your sport mode electronic damping.:cool:
Wondering if they will be releasing their upgraded adjustable...
Like anything in this world. Even Toyota. It can not please everyone at the same time. I’m just thankful the GR Supra was resurrected. Like the 86, so many negative comments came out initially with the subaru tie-up, but ask any track enthusiasts or car reviews right now, it is still a...
Toyota will definitely make a one off or limited production of the GRMN or high performance version Supra. You just need to take a look and get cues from the little brother, 86. There were two lines that evolved in-house from the Toyota 86.
Launched in 2013. They made the TRD Griffon 86. Time...
