Mine will rev to 6800 in neutral while the gear shift lever in first. If there's a soft limiter, then it is either new for 24, or a Canadian thing. On a prepped surface, I found that a bit over 5000 is ideal for launching. But on the street, anything past 2500 is worthless, since the car is...

The Z06 is the right choice for fastest stock example out of that list. However, I don't think that they justify the insane price premiums being commanded by them right now. No matter how incredible the Z06 is, Chevy will make them forever and each iteration will be better than the previous...

It tunes the frequency of the exhaust. The basic idea is that it slows down the pressure waves and brings down the frequency a touch and mellows the overall tone. Think: french horn vs trumpet. Modern CAD packages have great acoustic modelling, it's how people design exhaust for Corvettes...

Eh, 135 is a plenty high top speed for a stock car. It's unlikely to need to go faster than that, even on a track. Hellcat Redeye Widebody traps 125 with 800HP. A Model 3 Performance traps 115. The Cybertruck tops out between 110-130 depending on trim. So I don't think the top speed really...

This is probably a tire issue. Either they are pretty worn, or the dealer replaced them with the cheapest Linglongs they could get. I mean, you're not going to be hauling as in the rain, but the car isn't sketchy at all during normal wet driving.

Toon.

Does the base Ozzie Z receive an LSD? The Z was clearly struggling to put the power down, even in third. If they tested one with an open diff, it seems like the best "track day mod" you can do to the Z is start with the sportier trim.

Baby's First Supra question is almost always, "which oil should I use in my car?"

When you pick yours up, be sure to report back and ask about the correct oil to use. The results will shock you.

Do you have auto rev matching enabled? If not, then enable it. Are you taking forever to shift? You don't need to speed shift it or anything, but you also shouldn't be taking more than 2 seconds to shift 3-4. Are you shifting at under 2000 RPM? Don't. Rev it out to at least 3k during...

I hope Toyota does something with the GRMN version to get the car into the 2:40s. At minimum, Toyota needs to beat the Dark Horse. Too bad C&D didn't bring a 2024 8AT. The suspension tweaks on the 23 made a huge difference, the 8AT alone should be worth at least another second and better...

Sometimes I wonder if an AT would have been more fun. Evidence that you can't really make the wrong decision here.

How far are you from cincy?

I'm surprised that you could take a GT500 at that power level. Those things are beasts once they start rolling.

The dealer I ordered from gave me the option of, "a blue one or the special edition grey."

My money is on it being the replacement for the 86. I always thought it was weird that the FR-S didn't carry the Celica nameplate, given that was Toyota's traditional lightweight entry-level sport compact for years. I actually went from a 7th gen Celica to a FR-S, specifically because the FR-S...

I held out and got an MT, it's great. I'll be honest, there are days now where I wonder if I would have been happier with an AT. If I had the space, I'm pretty sure I'd get another 8AT Supra. Pull the trigger on this one. If you decide you just have to have the manual, then wait for a deal...

Or at least limit yourself to one at a time.

Now i know where Ford got their idea for the triple-wide dash setup. This is seriously cool. Is Rev1 a cheap android tablet? What are you using for data capture? Is this code available via github?

Sorry you couldn't make it work. Honestly, $60k + fees is a good price for the car. It looks like prices have cratered on these. I recall one going for like 85, then 75, and now this one only managed 60. I'm curious how prices will look by summer.
