naturally the next question I asked myself was DCT vs ZF8..the M5 is apparently ditching the DCT for a ZF8 https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=181&t=1662047 So here is an interesting forum thread in case anyone is interested in learning, M5 owners discussing the difference...

Yea I can hear the difference now, its subtle but its there, the DCT or PDK for example is absolutely instant. The TQ ZF doesn't seem to react as hard or quickly after a gear change as the PDK under hard accelerating. Sidenote: It took me almost forever to find a video with a Auto Alfa Romeo...

@Guff Thanks for the info, I was actually going to mention that, first I wen to a BMW M3/4 DCT and then Porsche PDK (which is absolutely insane) but as I listen to the Supra it almost sounds the same maybe just a little less instant. Sorry to get too off topic, but I suppose that means TQ w/...

Which sports cars can I listen to for examples of Torque converters, not sure why this is so hard to find on the internet.

Interesting back to youtube to see if I can hear the difference now that I know what to listen for. Just so we're clear this is a sound I'm listening for under hard acceleration right?

I've been watching the drive tribe and other channels on youtube regarding the 718 S vs M2 vs TTRS just to see a Supra @340 hp and 2900 lbs might compare lol.

@Guff Can you tell how you can tell it sounds or looks like a torque converter. Purely asking from a educational place. I did my research online and for the life of me I can't find an answer on how you can tell just by observation. What should I be listening or looking for?

@Blupra man you ain't lying buddy. Just checked the prices nationwide on Cargurus, RC F owners must be crying.

Apparently the guy from the Supra MK5 FB page has picture of the rear when it was caught on the trailer..seems to be sand bagging though. I bet Toyota has their hand in this some how.

I guess I disagree, I know fake cheap Toyota vents when I see them, those appear to be real. However if they are fake at least they are an upgrade from what Toyota usually does, which is usually very lazy. IE the 86.

@A70TTR Thanks for the feedback, I know you can't say much but some information is better then none at all

Yea, I'm reading through old post atm. But I think he later said back in December, it was being tested, but no plans for production. I'm just trying to narrow down what a base model may look like.

If there is no 4 cylinder, Forbes and the Bimmerpost guys are wrong about 30i @ 255HP then what does that leave us with? No inline 6 n/a options as BMW has got rid of them. That only leaves us with a B58 @ 335 - 369 HP and maybe a detuned S55 @400. However the more I think about this, the...

Damn, was really hoping those cockpit like thingys behind the seats on the concept would see production. guess not.

So I guess it's save to assume the side vents on the fenders may make it to production? The BC article shows them on their rendering and they have been accurate so far on the design. However on the new leaked picture the camo along with the photo angle makes it almost impossible to see...

Nothing against your render, but the overall design of the nose with the high hood and fender lines to me is almost nauseating, Its almost has if its inflated. first thing I'm doing if I get her is getting rid of that bumper for something more mature. On the other hand, this is just a render...

LMAO, sorry was reading too much into that.

LOL. I suppose you maybe referring to riding top down in the Z. or, well I'm stumped other then that.

@A70TTR Out of curiosity, the one that you got to be driven in when you got "the call", was it all camo'd and cladded up like these running around? Or was it more like the one we saw today, on a trailer headed to what seems to be a race track in the background?

Toyota takes trolling to a whole new level.
