Also sold as a Pontiac G8. I bought one in 2008 and still have it. It’s a great car and handles well with just a few suspension mods thanks to its 50/50 weight distribution. Holden benchmarked the E39 M5 when developing it and did a pretty good job.
Mine is the 6.2 V8 with 6 speed manual with a...
Many of us do take our cars to the track. Ironically, that GT4 in front of me and the Aston Martin was holding us up and refused to give point-bys until he was black flagged.
Damn you. I could’ve lived on happily and never known about these but now that I see them I want them. They only weigh 5.9 kilos. That’s a massive weight savings and they look damn good.
I haven’t had those specific issues, but I’ve had issues with individual apps. Spotify just recently started having an issue when it won’t play the current song, but has no issues playing the previous or next song. Eventually it plays the current song after I skip back and forth a few times...
USB is the way to go in the Supra. My GMC Sierra’s wireless charging pad is cooled so the phone actually gets cooler than ambient temperature when it’s charging. Wish the Supra did that too. At least it’s wireless CarPlay
I agree with everyone else about the ride quality not being compromised. It also seemed to make it more planted, or maybe that was attributed to the extra width in track I gained when I added spacers.
I can’t tell if it reduced body roll over stock because there’s still plenty of roll after the...
Not sure. I usually track with Porsche Club America, BMW Club, or Just Track It. I actually forgot about the NASA membership. I need to look into that.
Since all the cool kids are running DPs and intake without a problem then I will too. Just in time for Black Friday deals.
That sounds perfect. Would a catted DP combined with my MST intake be safe to run without a tune? I know I won’t see significant power gains without a tune, but I just want to be sure it’s okay to hammer it on the track and have the factory tune keep everything from going pop.
I had my first track weekend with the Supra and I’m really impress with how it did. For various reasons, I wasn’t able to do any track prep on the car before the event. I went in with stock brake fluid and haven’t even had a chance to get the car aligned after I installed the Z4 Eibach springs...
There were two large rocks that hit my window on my Supra and so far so good. It’s much stronger than my camaro glass. I had to replace that 3 times! And it was the expensive Pilkington brand with the HUD. I bet that was really damn loud when it hit your window to crack it.
Yeah, same here. The radio preset buttons will automatically switch from FM to satellite radio so the radio mode button seems like a waste. Programming it as a drive mode would be sweet.
My iPhone 12 gets too hot charging on the built in charger. A hot battery degrades very quickly over time. I drive a lot so it’s not practical for me to leave it on there for long periods. And if I put the phone on the tray above it then it will going flying off because I drive like an asshole.
