I really hate dealerships. I’ve had very few good experiences and loads of terrible ones. The idea that they would harass someone to hide their markup and dirty antics is disgusting. Thank you for your efforts - I’m sure those unethical dealerships will have karma circling back around.
Sigh. I wish I had bought a Viper ACR when they were cheap. If they ever hit their original MSRP again, I’m all over it lol. (Speaking of Ring’ times)
I’m going to try my hardest to not make a poop joke. But, is there anything wrong with the turbo? Did it have a problem and take a massive shit?

I’m so lost. Why are we back on Type Rs again, lol?
But since we brought it up. Here’s the comparable FL5 Type R vs the 21+ Supra (circled tracks). Also attaching a screenshot of the old vs new Type R.

in regards to the Type R at the ring. Take a look at this thread.

The original Nurburgring time was in 2019 prior to the horsepower bump, suspension revisions, etc. An official time hasn’t been recorded since then, however the 2021-2023 Supras have seen modest track time improvements elsewhere in the world.
It’s hard to estimate exactly where that would put...
/shrug I really don’t seem to have much issues with cornering in the 22’ stays well planted with great feedback and no slip even on these poo poo OEM tires. The bump steer isn’t something I’ve really noticed either. But I figure if people want to have the possibly improved handling of the 2023 -...
