thanks a lot for this, but while i was trying to be positive about the manual, for some reason now am feeling like am going to spend the money am saving for the J29 somewhere else....>_< in that case don't forget the Toyota Chaser's too! am REALLY glad they didn't go with the heavy ~3800lb...

Taken from a "member on SupraForums"... to me this sounds like typical mk4 owners rant than anything factual.

4lb Shorai Lithium Battery, subframe collars, resonated Test pipes and a Tune as soon as EcuTEK cracks the ecu. will wait on the rest of exhaust to see (EDIT: hear) the options (or would just make my own) also i hope they opt for good tires; Michelin Pilot 4S specifically like the new M5...

Exactly! they usually have different mules for different road tests. cold temps, hot temps, HVAC, the 'ring ..etc and some are "long run" ones that they pound for extended periods on the road to gauge the wear. i guess the longest running mule had 'beta' electronics and lightening and its the...

so by the more optimum weight distribution?

in your opinion, what kind of "sportiness" does a trans-axle add?

now that you put that way, its makes perfect sense. though i hope they opt for the abbreviation GRMN, which i find cool actually ..just not the gazoo part. try and google for "gazoo" ..LOL!.. definitely something is lost in translation.

do you have a link or something?

so the miata's, S2000's, vipers, corvettes, RX7's, nissan Z's, and the late Supra's are all "half sports" cars? AFAIK, transaxles are great for the weight distribution, which i can understand. but if you think about it you'd rather keep the mass towards the center of the car;instead of big...

while i agree with HKz this is no news, thanks for putting out in a separate thread, and i hope it becomes a sticky till the Tokyo Motor show in a couple of months. from all the hate this car already getting; it seems that a lot of people don't realize the fake body panels thingy..

whats wrong with TRD? Gazoo sounds weird to say the least

you just made my day!

as much as i love the JZA80 Supra; but it had a torsional rigidity of ~8100 nm/deg (IIRC it was on some jap. magazine eons ago). the F82 M4 has a ridiculously high rigidity of ~40,000 nm/deg. i bet the J29 would be at least 5x as rigid as the A80.(1st reason why am glad BMW is involved) and...

it does! just a different exhaust...or perhaps a different engine?!

Borgwarner has announced electrically assisted Turbo's; Audi is using them, basically a tiny electric supercharger right next to the turbo; IMHO that renders the need for a supercharger moot.

i smell click baits; in any case i won't feed the trolls

i Really hope so..

next to the 3 series; it's quite smaller than what i thought

Good Lord!!

body lines are great....just not that grill though
