I think Phil has it right. This is the iMT give the car some more oomph if you're going to lug the engine.
I have to back my car up a windy, inclined driveway every day to park it in the garage. Which means I am very attuned to the throttle mapping, as it requires a lot of clutch slip to get...
In my experience, everyone who isn't into cars hates popcorn tunes. To the point where people in other non-car forums visit complain about popcorn tunes.
I suspect they are thinking mostly of modified Focus STs and the like.
The thing is, a lot of these factory valved exhausts are technically illegal, in the sense that they do exceed the db limits put in place by various localities. The vehicles just aren't tested in sport mode, thus allowing them to be sold.
The supra is quiet compared to some other cars though...
I've never driven a Cayman, but yes, it's like a 370z.
I use it all the time, despite being able to heel and toe perfectly. It's one less thing to worry about in spirited driving and I personally don't feel like anything is lost using it. Because it's perfect every time, I enjoy how awesome...
They've already "declared victory" with this and moved on. The biggest reason they even did anything was because of diesel bros rolling coal caused a lot of complaints.
The spectre of the EPA cracking down is still going to influence in the industry, but I'd be surprised if we such a thing...
They are going to find a way to weasel out of that warranty if you ever need to use it for something big. How do I know?
This. This might as well be a gigantic neon warning sign that says, "we will not honor this warranty!"
Hopefully you didn't pay for that warranty. If you did, get a...
Oh, the Camaro SS 1LE is in another league compared to the Mustang. Sure, they benchmark about the same in reviews, but there are tons of intangibles that are better in the Camaro. You can tell that Ford engineers are merely chasing the numbers the Camaro made, but not really appreciating why...
I had a 5.0, but it was a GT PP1. B58 beats it in every aspect except sound. The only thing I regrets is not buying the Supra sooner. The Supra handles so much better than the Mustang its insane. There are (backroads) corners that the Mustang would struggle with at 40mph that the Supra just...
Go 1 -> 3 when driving around town. Or just start in second.
The 6-speed is (thankfully) geared for driving balls out, which means it's going to feel too short for driving around town.
