Is that hood even closed? The Z4s in pics I've seen so far have looked much better then the Supras in this department

Was that in an DSM twin? Jeez, you must have gone through a lot of floor panels! Yeah I don't know how its going to go with this motor. A turbo upgrade might be the only thing that makes a significant difference on these. The exhaust is pretty beefy looking and that air to water intercooler...

Not that suprising :) ....

Uhm, not a preproduction car. C&Ds testing was done after the big media event with all the journalists whereas the point of the event was to allow them to test production cars, vs the events that came before with preproduction cars. That said, the possibility of a ringer or that Toyota put a...

That has to do with the platform and economics, aka making the best of a bad situation. The TypeR has mac struts because the economy car it's based on does. Let's not forget EVERY Honda had wishbones or some sort of double link arrangement in the 90s. They didn't stop doing that because they...

It's ok, this is more fun! For clarity's sake, my comment you agreed with, you cropped the negative at the beginning and changed the intent of the quote lol The full quote..." I disagree that an aggressively designed mac strut setup will net a better camber curve then an aggressively designed...

Looking at the shape of that torque curve, I'd have to say a ct26 :D

Oh graphs and suspension nerd talk, my fav! Super Like. Just wanna say though, double wishbone in the front is still better. The advantage of a double wishbone setup, camber curve wise, is you can make it whatever you want. I disagree that an aggressively designed mac strut setup will net a...

Ones with Lexus badges. I bought my first in 1996 btw. ;)

I made a comment elsewhere awhile back on theorizing if the weaker top end speed perf of the car was due to the torque curve or bad aero (vents). I figured the 8spd would be tuned to keep this sucker in that meat of the power band there, but looking at some acceleration videos that have been...

Back on topic, Car and Driver finally added the actual dyno graph to their page...

Because drift car, aka AE86.

Hey, you should get a mk1 as well so you can complete your collection of prototype Supras. mk1 was the first attempt at the Celica Supra sports car concept, perfected with the mk2. mk3 was the first attempt at the sports Gran Tourer/supercars concept, perfected with the mk4. ;) Mk2. The...

Oh you guys are soooo sensitive about that still. Gets a reaction every time lol Probably older then you bub, grown up enough to take a joke that's for sure

I'd drop the easy heavy things in an instant regardless of where they are and then get some coilovers and adjust my ride height, alignment and spring rates or sways to get the balance to where I want it. I've been autoxing my 53% front bias mk2 for decades and the gains from a lower curb weight...

Could start with the 2 10 inch subs in the hatch for starters. The base car should be a fair bit lighter, would be nice to know how much. I bet the factory wheels are a little piggy too. These days you have to do a -1 upgrade to improve performance and ride quality.

How about this? Seems to meet your criteria.

It's still more a Supra then the mk5 ;) At least the mk2 earned it's A series chassis code and it's not just a marketing gimmick :p I've been to XX meets in Tokyo. Those guys know the lineage, it was just a momentary marketing mistake (going with XX there while using Supra everywhere else in...

You missed the part where he actually resurrected 2 old school Toyotas. Akio is not the problem, it's his leadership that has been pushing Toyota back into the sports car game and making the entire lineup sportier (have you seen the new Camry? When has anyone talked about a new Camry before??)...

C'mon Toyota, go back 1 more gen! I would be happy to volunteer a massive list of mk2 stuff the mk2 community desperately needs.
