Perhaps the old CEO retired and took a new project manager position?

But…. They can “feel” how their engine runs with different oils. That right there is some impressive shit.

Stiffness matters. ?

You honestly believe any car manufacturer is going to do something about a 5 per million failure rate? I have a nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Interested?

Pointing out that this engine is in millions of vehicles just further makes my point. Apparently math can be difficult. Once again, if you want to spend thousands replacing a part that is highly unlikely to fail then knock yourself out. ?

Ok, let’s be real. Toyota has sold roughly 15,000 2019 to 2021 Supras. We’ve had “several” issues reported on the forums and Faye has found maybe a couple dozen show up in Toyota’s warranty records system or whatever the name was. Do the math. More than 99% haven’t failed yet. If they...

No worries here either. If that’s what you want to do then it makes sense for you so go for it. But you are still talking about dozens of cases which is a very small percentage. That’s all I’m saying is let’s not make this sound like every other car is going to have a pump fail.

A recommendation to just plan on replacing the pump even if there are no concerns seems a bit much to me? I mean, what is the actual failure rate? We’ve had what, 2 or 3 cases show up here on the forums? People who have an issue post on forums, those who don’t are silent which tells me the...

Opportunity lost. If only you’d have swapped in the manual transmission the car would run a 7.99 and you’d easily get minimum $50,000 more for it with a superior transmission. ?

Because you’ll get tired of the automatics beating you in a race. ?

You guys financing on the other side of the pond better make damn sure you use the approved 0W20 GR Supra oil.

Well, when damn near every model vehicle that comes with both a manual and automatic option is tested the automatic is faster. Some of the P-cars are close to half a second slower in the quarter with a manual compared to the PdK. Our Supras are only a couple tenths off but that is OBJECTIVELY...

Honest question. I thought I was done with this dumb (but often very funny) discussion but I’m curious what objective “proof” you are referring to? If you are making your case on that CD article that is an extremely flawed argument. On the contrary, and using CD again, they have also...

Lots of context missing here. “As for how this Supra found nearly four seconds compared with the previous automatic—for example, summoning another 11.5-mph average in the uphill esses—well, we won't pretend the minor suspension-tuning changes for 2023 can entirely explain it, and the previous...

I can’t really tell if this is a legit question? I mean seriously, even if you’re only doing HPDE sessions and even if you are only concerned about improving your times and not comparing with others you are still looking to get faster. Faster is better right? Otherwise regular track days...

Correct.

I’ll be watching those possibilities as well. The plan is a used 86 in case one of those cars (or something similar but as yet unknown) has a price/performance/fun/look combination that I can’t resist.

I commend you for not giving up when some people are so incredibly married to their position. You and I are similar. I had more than 4 decades of only manual performance cars before trying this automatic. I love it every bit as you and for similar reasons. The way some people react to this...

Took it to this season's first autocross test and tune. Got a couple cool pics and did pretty well on last years tires. Fastest time was actually a 32.1 but clipped a cone on that run. Row # Pos. Class # Driver Car Model Raw Time Diff. From 1st 1 1 ss 51 George Nelson 2020 Chevrolet...
