I think it may come down to whether you really want or need one car that does it all?
I was considering a path into a g80 for that reason. It then occurred to me that I don’t drive in a “fun” manner with my kid in the car (tuned GTI). I only drive how I like to drive when he’s not in the car...
No ecutek dongle to check or ability to pull logs? Can do some dragy runs. Can run against (or just drive) a stock Supra. Can visit your local drag strip and get your trap.
Probably best to just get a way to pull logs.
I don’t think the standard (non-neutral) colors are great. Wish they had Imola Red instead of Toronto Red (too orange-y IMO). Not really in the market at the moment, though.
I really want to know the differences between the S58 and ZF8 versions in the M2 vs. M3/4. If they are the same, I think...
How do you think I feel seeing others’ lower premiums?!
My understanding is that high(er) car insurance is a FL thing. Something about the insane rate of un- and underinsured drivers. The rest of us have to pay higher regular premiums and get uninsured motorist coverage to be adequately covered...
Just to emphasize how much it varies, here's a list of quotes I've received (as I'm shopping around for new coverage now):
This is the monthly cost of the Supra portion (3 cars - comp/collision on all, 2 drivers, no violations in last 6 years, FL, non-stacked uninsured motorist).
The point is...
You've seen it a million times, but I installed an MST v2 intake (with clear lid).
Wrote up some notes here (https://www.supramkv.com/threads/mst-intake-installation-video.7341/post-225748) including a question about the amount of oil in my stock intake.
Used channel locks to remove the...
Thanks for the video. I recently used it to install my v2.
My notes:
I used some channel locks to grip and remove the breather hose with no issues (I heard that many people have trouble with that hose, so I bought a replacement in advance but didn't need it due to the ease of removal with the...
I found out that I could notably improve my experience with the stock speaker system by combining these equalizer settings (https://www.supramkv.com/threads/how-to-improve-oe-sub-bass-quality-and-eliminate-vibrations.5092/) along with choosing my preferred equalizer settings within Spotify (my...

With a JB4, you can be right back up to G8X specs and higher. (I’m curious if current versions of the S58 have physical differences or if power output is just tuning
Assuming the same ZF8 as the M3/M4, you wouldn’t even have to worry about the trans. They’re holding ridiculous amounts of hp/tq...
In a straight line, Supra has the advantage on the 6MT on the current gen mustang in both 0-60 and 1/4 mile ET. S650s will need to bring their ET down a half a second (on 6MT) models to match a stock ZF8 Supra.
Current 10R80 mustang’s run 10s 60-130 which beat stock Supras. I believe the 10R80...
That’s a good point. I’m hoping that MSRP allocations are available (even if rare with a 1 year wait). People have been able to find G80s at MSRP with some due diligence.
I’m curious how much overhead the power train in the M2 has. We already know the S58 is capable of big numbers, but we don’t...
My local dealership says that they can’t flush the fluid without connecting the car to the computer and ultimately resetting the ecu (no go for me on my unlocked and tuned 2020). Doesn’t sound right to me.
Can anyone confirm whether this is the case or is this just another data point on how...
Here’s what I found when I first got the car: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/launching-techniques.12254/post-177532
On the street, however (the only place I’ve launched), I’ve ran my best times with traction mode (one click off, not full VSC OFF), and feathering the throttle (because less...
