I think it might be whatever interior/leather cleaner/protectant that was applied being washed off, I've had it happen to various cars of mine. That's probs why it's happening to more than one surface of your car.
How I think about it is, what's the worthy update for every year till the 2026 end of production. Toyota did state they want to sell the same number of supras every year so that implies updates every year and they basically have been doing that.
Now this year MT is considered a large update and...
Same here, waiting it out until MY 2024/25, I know my next car is gonna be a Supra but not in a rush, we all know they've are planning small updates every year or two.
I lost respect for Mark when he kept emphasizing double a-arms on the Z when the supra is better in every quantitative test, I guess they are trying hard to find something nice to say about the Z. But... A pig with double A-arms is still a pig... They don't seem to care when M cars and 911/718...
Yup, looks right, I did the same calcs before and it's the same. For those who want to try this ratio out irl before buying, see if your friends have a tuned B8/8.5 MT S4 with a 7000RPM, I have one myself and it's nearly identical speeds in each gear with 350whp. Supra will be faster still ofc...
There was a video of the european press release event with all the technical details on Youtube, but it's now flooded with US reviews so I can't find it anymore. I took this crappy pic:
final drive 3.46
1st: 4.110
2nd 2.315
3rd 1.542
4th 1.179
5th 1
6th 0.846
reverse 3.727
It's pretty nice in...
^This is true, hence why updates every year, and why it is almost guaranteed the latest will be the greatest, pleaaaseee sport-top next year. People who say it has one now cuz the Z got one is half right, Toyota had the MT ready and just waited for the right time to release, it takes more than 3...
Rofl they also pointed at the old blue supra saying it's the new blue:rolleyes:
I just watched Raiti's Rides review on the GR Corolla, and he'll release all his GR Corolla videos on Sept 14th, not sure if that is an embargo on the Supra as well.
I feel like there's a 50% chance there is a facelift supra coming next year, because the LCI Z4 has some updated systems such as the iDrive 8, and it may be a cost decision to put that update in Supras. Personally I really don't like the new "massive" instrument cluster screen on the iDrive 8...
The media test drive happened already this past week, there's is most likely an embargo date on the reviews. Could be anytime now that we see the videos
The review at Fuji had a few notable mentions.
1. How to get the VSC fully off, afterwards the car was a lot more in control during drifting
2. The rev match was good
3. haiyaiii by orido, car is fast.
4. Great balance and handling, the fact that it can drift the fast corners at Fuji is pretty...
I have a New Edge Cobra with 600HP and lots of chassis and suspension upgrades for road course driving back in the day, used to be quicker than 997.1 GT3 around the tracks. So I can sort of relate to a GT350 in a way. I've yet to buy a supra but test drove a bunch and also drove one on track...
