Let's see, all my complaints about the Supra... No manual, not even a dual clutch. Econo car suspension, no more double wishbones up front. No targa top. Peaky single turbo power delivery (weak top end) Fugly engine bay. Fake vents and questionable styling choices. Not made by the company who's...

...well it's down to 78k today lol

So is this one too (Vancouver BC), and this salesman would be more then happy to collect and extra 20gs over MSRP on it... https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van/ctd/d/vancouver-2020-gr-supra/6935518012.html

Yup, the LFA was intentionally made slightly rearward biased too. Regardless if you prefer 50:50 or something closer to 45:55, Mid or Rear mounted RWD are really hard to get anywhere near that. Later 911s are fast because of Porsche's stubbornness and constant iteration on their platform to get...

Torque first, the gearing to take advantage of it second.

"He cites the perfect 50/50 weight distribution of the C7 as one reason why it handles so well and says that the rear-biased weight distribution of the C8 will upset the vehicle’s balance and likely make it prone to understeer." Exactly. People don't seem to realize the primary performance...

7mm = 1/4 inch, not 1.5 inches. Curious what the CG would be on the 4cyl car, but still doubtful an inline 4 would best the boxer 86 in that department (though I'd take an inline 4 86 over the Subaru boxer any day)

Ha, I fricken knew it! I figured that was BS. I love inline 6s to bits, but it's really hard to get a stellar low CG with a motor that tall. Not that the actual stat is bad, just a shame they tried to pass it off as better then their own car. Even if Toyotas method for calculating the CG was...

They do improve aerodynamics... TRD earned my respect on that one for making a product that deletes the stupidest design decision made on this car.

Well when you develop a new sports car with your luxury brands biggest competitor, don't be surprised when there's a little friction.

It's more the no jdm anything

The manufacturer claims the same peak torque number you mean. That does not mean they have the exact same torque curve, they would have the exact same HP if that were the case. Very interesting to see a Z4 dyno curve! I was theorizing Toyota tuned the crap out of the b58 they were handed but...

Sounds like that's only part 1 of 4 to be posted.

Once again, totally different brand of dynos, you can't compare the 2 numbers.

See the other dyno thread, we've been talking about this there already.

Like many shops, when it comes to the 2 vs 4 post debate, the clear winner is always...both! There are things that are much better to do on one then the other. Nothing beats a 4 post for ease of use and getting a car up in the air as quick as possible. They are the best for fluid changes because...

I'm not saying you would be able to lift it to the full height of the lift, but you could get the car as high as a scissor jack or higher. There are many that would fit in your space, this the first I found on a quick search. Full rise is... Max. Lifting Height: 74.5"...

You know there are lots of 4 post jacks that can work with an 8 foot ceiling right? A scissor jack will give you access to the suspension which a 4 post won't, but often a 4 post is still more useful.

Everything you just said there is very true, yet the norm with Mustangs still seems to be that they are usually calibrated to read between 10 and 18% less then dynojets. Note the big gap I specified, which is because I am well aware of their shop centric calibration. But they are generally set...
