Mustang dyno, they always read 10 to 18% lower then DynoJets. These numbers are what I would expect on a Mustang and confirm that the C&D numbers were not a 1 off. But they did say this was a preproduction media car so still waiting for dynojet numbers off a regular off the lot car.
Hard to say. My autox mk2 Supra is 2800lbs even with quater tank of gas and in race trim. Rear seats and hatch carpet pulled, carbon hood, NA 6m. Drivetrain is probably a similar weight. The beemer i6 will be lighter but the turbo stuff, tranny and diff will be heavier. Mk5 susp is probably...
ToyotaFest is a pretty good show, drove down for it once.
I'm not sure why you guys are arguing that this report sounds bogus because the driver died and the passenger was fine. It quite clearly says he hit a traffic pole. Maybe you haven't seen a lot of accidents involving poles and trees, but...
Doubtful. But it could come from the Premium car with a full tank of gas. 1% of this car is 33 lbs, a full tank of gas is around 100lbs so the 2% difference can come from that alone.
I'd be willing to bet that majority of the excess pork is in the interior and safety gear. Betcha this thing is around 2800lbs or less with a race interior.
The 52 is the front end. They will be measuring sans passengers. C&Ds total measured curb weight was a little higher so they probably had less gas in this car. These numbers fluctuate so much with the level of gas and there is no standard across all car mags for how much to have in when they...
Your warrenty would only be void if you have a part failure on track and then try to get it repaired and make the dumb ass mistake of mentioning it happened on a race track.
I live next to a race track. Some people remove their license plates at track days so if any pics of their car get...
Well, I came here to follow along, with a community, the release of a new Supra. For as long as I've been into these cars (over 20 years), I still didn't get to be involved in something like this when the mk4 was released. I discovered it in 93 when it came out, but there was no internet like we...
Uhhhhhh, the A80 is not the first Supra. Note the 80 part. Third Supra dude, there was no Mitsubishi 3000gt in 1978. And no there was never a plan to call the mk4 the 3000gt, again note the chassi code.
Also your history on the 2000gt is totally wrong too. Read up on it.
Great vid and review! But jeez, could you have found a more clapped out mk4 to compare it too? lol Was that a giant rust hole in the rocker? I have never seen a mk4 with a rust hole before here on the west coast. I think "when people think of Supra..." they think of slightly nicer ones lol...
Back to your echo chamber gentlemen. Heaven forbid if someone expressed an opinion that contradicted your own.
Both myself, and Chris Harris, agree that it is a very good car. We just are having trouble with something with a Toyota emblem and Supra badge that doesn't feel like a Toyota...
His points are perfectly valid and I'm glad he has the balls to say them. Many Japanese enthusiasts feel exactly the same way about this car, myself included. His comments about the inherent Japaneseness that cars from the Land of the Rising Sun have are particularly spot on. I'm glad a...
But it won't because the starting point is essentially that tune you linked. That's the version with the better head too isn't it? A catless downpipe I'm sure will add some power but buying a brand new car and going catless isn't the best for a DD or even possible anywhere with an annual...
