Regardless of whatever the turbo is doing, this is a great time and I’m sure the car feels fantastic with @Jesse DaBears tuning it. FEMTO will deff have a nice impact, but honestly man if you like the car as it is, I wouldn’t stress it.
I think using draggy alone to track progress can be a bit tough. From my experience there’s a ton of variables that can make realistically large changes to your time. How hot the engine is, the road conditions, changes in weather day to day, temperature of the tires, what gear and speed you...
I’d recommend all of you to check out this thread. Throttle hesitation relating to traction control issues is fairly well documented.
Throttle Hesitation
Summary:
Problem: Randomly the car from a stop or slow start will have a very significant delay in throttle.
Cause: Something to do with...
Man! Everyone here in Dallas! I’ve seen a few in the wild around my area (Preston Hollow) - yellow, red, crazy blue wrap, silver, and then the ones I’ve up with. Much rarer vs Porsches, Bentleys, McClarens. More common than Ferrari or Lambos.
As above, the S58 in a Supra seems somewhat mythical. I can imagine it being produced for like a handful of cars and in Japan only or something. But it’s not in BMWs interest to undercut and outperform their own lineup unless they make significant sums from this partnership lol. Plus the b58 is...
The manual is a tad lighter (40lbs) and the manual specific chassis received specific changes to the ABS and traction control, separate from the AT.
I imagine the realistic differences between MT and AT aren’t much
I have not driven both. From the words of others the 2023 is an improvement - however many of those commenters have the manual, which will have its own handling characteristics separate from the AT.
If you plan on driving the car to the limit, which is where you’ll likely feel those differences...
Nobody knows. I’d imagine 2025 is the last model year though. So it’s a tad unlikely. Both the b58 gen2 and gen3 are in production. You’re getting port injection and a bigger turbo supposedly with the gen 3. But in reality, both are readily available in the aftermarket for reasonable costs now...
Shouldn’t have these issues, but it’s not surprisingly. Still, dealerships have done way worse things without getting their name dropped on a forum.
