Damn good qualy lap from Leclerc. I knew he was going to go faster than his first lap, but I was not expecting that much of a jump in pace.
I hope Carlos can fight his way toward the front to at least help fend off the Red Bulls a bit.
Red Bull looks really good as well, and their race pace is...
If it's performance per dollar, the 3.0 is the clear winner here.
That being said, get the car you really want.
If that's the Z, then go with that.
Bottom line is: don't spend $50K+ on something you don't actually want.
Arguably the most important mod is the wind deflectors for the side mirror areas.
If you happen to be at a track that requires the windows to be down or you just want to cruise on the street with the windows down, you get the idea.
Your ears, passenger's ears, etc. will thank you.
You can go...
I'll let you know as soon as I get the word from the dealer, hopefully today.
I just so happen to have the bavsound subs installed, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the time being.
Talking with the Supra tech here in Norfolk, there is a small, non-zero chance that speaker upgrades (including the Bavsound ones) can cause the head unit to blow during the recall update.
My neighbor and I both have refraction blue models.
Crazy odds. One of these days I'll have to get a picture with our cars together.
His is more stock/oem looking, whereas mine is more...umm...not.
For the most part, wheels & pads.
285/35s in the back / 265/35s in the front do wonders to help in the corners.
Since you've been tracking for a while, I would go with just those and let your experience tell you what the car needs.
I can't speak for the stage 1 kit, but I just recently (about a month ago) installed the Bavsound Subs and it's night and day better than OEM. I plan on getting the rest of the speakers soon.
You can get to OEM loudness with about half as much volume setting.
Bass has more clarity and punch...
My 2021 Supra came with PS4S tires. I just assumed that's what the cars are using these days.
Either way, the point is that the dry grip is roughly the same, within a percentage point.
I don't really drag race mine, but frm what I've read I'm curious if the Supra would have been even faster using the launch method people here talk about.
Installed the Bavsound Subwoofers. They sound drastically better already and they are still in the 12 hour break-in period.
Pro tip for those considering it:
Go ahead and remove the crossbar before trying to remove the lower trim piece.
It'll take less time than trying to articulate the piece...
Interesting Qualy. Feel bad for Carlos just missing out from the Red Flag.
Feel bad for Alonso, he was on a pretty good lap before he lost the motor.
BUT SHEESH LANCE FUCKING STROLL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MATE!
At first I only saw Latifi in the wall and I was like, oh no...anyways, but then I saw...
I remember reading an article earlier this year after the 1st race that Ferrari aren't even using the full engine power yet. They are keeping it in safer engine mode parameters for reliability purposes until they finish data collection on the car.
I would expect them to use the faster engine...
