Woot! No details, understood. Will there be a significant power difference according to markets (like BMW has announced for the particulate-filtered Euro version vs USDM Z4)?

They do sound very different (Z4 vs Supra). They were really pushing the Z on some segments, cool video.

Many factors to consider, specially in a car which is not yet available. If you keep the OEM ratio, it will probably maintain the OEM balance (which is usually understeer at the limit). If you go to a square setup (285 in all 4 corners for instance) it will tend towards a more aggresive...

Cool flashback: The 750hp Blitz Supra did 7:49 in 1999. Tire technology has advanced a bit since then.

Exactly. It´s easy to underestimate the ugly fwd Honda, but it flies on the track. The Supra will be faster, but not by much. I´m guessing 7:39.999

I believe the new Type R is still significant, and here´s why: The Nurburgring has been very relevant in the MkV development. With the stock Type R pushing 7:43, Toyota will absolutely look for a lower laptime, it would be shameful otherwise. They have targeted Cayman and 911 as an overall...

It’s ok man. Good luck with the 997 Turbo. Fun car for sure.

You have fallen for an internet myth. It has nothing to do with a propeller, as I stated. https://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/07/bmw-roundel-not-born-from-planes/ https://www.logodesignlove.com/bmw-logo-evolution https://www.bmwblog.com/2010/06/06/video-the-origin-of-the-bmw-logo-explained/

With such a long development and the hordes of test mules all over the world I would expect Toyota-esque ammounts of TSB´s. As for taking "great pride" in a logo (which has nothing to do with a propeller BTW), well for me, I´ll take great pride if the car performs. Magna-Steyr, BMW, ZF, Brembo...

Pushing a stock B58 over 7000rpms (stock redline) wouldn’t be any use. S55 does have a better head and turbos and redlines at 7600. So either the updated B58TU has borrowed some tricks from the S-series, or Toyota did actually modify the head for the Supra. In either case, it points to a higher...

Not the most flattering angle...

Great work! When do you start shipping the Supra manual conversions?

///M badges are heavy

Official specs ended at 1658 Kg and 410hp (302kw) for the auto version = Each HP moves 4,0 kgs. A 350hp, 1400 Kg (3100lbs) Supra would match this power/weight. It´ll be close.

WHAT?! Life would be meaningless without Supra rumors.

They look similar, but the S2000 using an Aising AZ6 derivative is internet myth. I´ve had them both open side by side when swapping an AZ6 into the AE86.

So all signs now point to a slight variation of the B58, at least in the launch model, just as we thought a few months ago before A70 distracted us with the new block (and then new engine) theories :nono::rofl: It’s a solid engine, makes good power and has proven reliable. I still believe we...

EG/EK Civics rock! Cool pictures.

No, what’s really sad is that you have to keep regurgitating your hate for the A90. First time in a bazillion years on forums I’m adding someone to the ignore list.
