Take it to the dealership to get it fixed under warranty. Don’t eff around and find out that they won’t take responsibility after your Cheetos-covered fingers have me up in thurr.
Eight effin pages of passionate debate from either side. Gawddam. Reasons ranging from being milliseconds faster to which knob is bigger to fill the anal gap.
I’m just glad that everyone here loves their GR Supra. Even though I’m in the MT camp, it’s clear that the AT is damn good bc unlike...
I am a TuRD engineer. We don’t do any real R&D on this car. Have you seen the fake vents? All those aero “upgrades” were designed by a 10 year old kid to match the fake vents. That is all. I’m glad there are a lot of people who seem to like the fake stuffs.
I agree with Phil. Strut tower brace bars do so little, they are essentially a cosmetic item.
That being said, the bar in question does not pass the beauty test. I’d just like something similar to the carbon “U” bar found in the BMW F8x M2/3/4.
I’m not sure what kind of street driving you are doing that can exceed the stopping ability of the stock brake system. You seem to be awfully worried about emergency situations as well. I would suggest not pursuing the Darwin Award bc chances are you will win it.
The official Toyota press release makes no mention of upgraded or larger calipers, only bigger discs. I’m 100% certain you have your info incorrect as the OEM GR Supra front brake disc measures 348 mm (13.7 in). A 274 mm brake disc would be like something in a modern day Camry.
“larger Brembo brake discs have been added to the vehicle”.
I am sort of interested in the details of this. Sounds like brake calipers stay the same, but discs have gotten larger.
Ahh…yes, Canadia, the 51st state of the United States of America.
My bad, baby boo. I thought there was a screen shot circulating showing allocations (pre-mark up) for high $70s. Well, there has been no official announcements from Toyota so all this drama for nothing. Hope you get a hug today. If not, sending you some warm thoughts, Dan-o.
sorry to derail this thread. Somehow this became a Supra vs GT4 thread but that wasn’t the point.
In my opinion, the GR Supra is a very nice car for $60k. Heck, I even bought one. At $80k, the FE really needs more than a body kit. There are just a lot of better cars for what I would want at...
C’mon dude, we are talking about the USDM $80k FE.
If you think paying $95k for a 2016 GT4 is too much, but think paying an extra $20k for a non-serialized plaque “special edition” GR Supra over the premium version, we have nothing left to discuss here. Can’t make people smarter.
You’re not wrong but keep in mind that there are two generations of the GT4/Spyder. Clearly, I am referring to the 981 generation which have dipped to the $90k-100k price point. Even at nearly 10 years old now, there is just no way a kitted up GR Supra can compare to a Porsche GT experience...
