& here’s Z4 vs Supra comparison vid. I know, I know. “We don’t know Japanese.” So I did quick translation for you guys, pointing out the difference & common on Z4 & Supra.
Driving feel:
Supra & Z4 both have mature suspension setup.
Supra feel more rigid.
Z4 is convertible, so feel less rigid...
1. If I compare to 86, yes blind spots are worse. With all things, you’ll get used to it. After driving for 10mins or so, I got used to it and figured out the way to overcome this issue... but having/buying wide angle side mirrors will def help.
2. It’s not cost cutting. Tada-san literally...
"Number is one thing, feel is another." Chief Engineer of Supra, Tetsuya Tada told me. He is the chief engineer of a sports car that's different from others, something that is more than just numbers on a piece of paper. His previous work is a good example of that. The Toyota 86 is nothing on...
It’s a Japanese, but 3 part review of Supra
Part 1 - Ride along Interview w Tada-san
Part 2 - Driving Impression of Supra
Part 3 - Comparison between Cayman GTS, M2 Comp & Supra
iirc someone already posted part of Tada-san’s presentation.

It was the worse Supra review I've watched. I'm okay journalist hating on the car (this time is Supra), but put the legit reasons why. Why didn't they put the front tower braces? Tada-san said for aftermarket? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? WEREN'T YOU LISTENING TO TADA-SAN'S PRESENTATION...
Haha sorry, I’m not a fast writer and I’m not doing this to get the clicks. I’m posting on the forum, so I don’t get anything out of it. So I wanna make sure to get things correctly.
Til then, watch Guff’s review. It was good!
Yes, I’ll be doing a review... BUT sadly one of memory card was fried & lost one of interview w Tada-san.
My guesstimate that, I’ll post my review some time next week.
I don’t do free translation. Guff had to vip me around the whole trip at Detroit. lol
Half joke a side, atm I’m busy at work. Didn’t see much “new” info was giving from the quick look of it. Few “Ah~ I figured” kinda answers.
Not a fan of posting in sister site, (prefer to stay in my comfort area) but I'll add my 2yen to this topic because, I did ask same question to Tada-san. (which you can find the interview in one of Guff's post)
Anyways, to all the people really believing that keeping stock fake vents and just...
