Porsche is the better engineering German brand in all honesty. Most of their issues stemmed from dishonest suppliers. Their GT3 cars are beautifully engineered cars....but with flaws not related to Porsche engineering or manufacturing. For example, the loose connecting rod bolts on the GT3...

Yeah, BMW has mentioned that the Z4 M40i will be powerful enough that a purebred M version won't be necessary. However, BMW has said this before on their other cars as well, and done the opposite. I also agree that this might make it into the Supra because speaking numbers, the Supra should...

Good times for sure. Who would have imagined that Toyota would be the one to refine a BMW motor. I’m all for it.

I thought the same thing, however, word on the street is that the Z4M will only come with a manual mated to a S58. Something to consider...

The B58 on steroids. ;)

Porsche as a company is also alive because it only produces sports cars (SUV's are made mostly by VW)....high end sports car that start out more expensive than a fully loaded Lexus car. So, I would expect they not only have a safe sports car, but one that is uber light. I still don't think...

Yep, and let's not forget that we all want to come out alive after an accident in these things. The amount of safety equipment included bumps up the weight quite a bit.

There has to be. The TRD photo alone shows a car outlined with what looks like a different bumper and different wing. At least there has to be more to the TRD lineup. I still believe that a manual will only be offered with a top tier motor only....and in very limited numbers.

There is more, no? The "one" will be most likely be in very limited numbers with a manual. Also, I think the manual version will be mated to an S motor....aka "S58." But who knows, everything is in its infancy stages at this point right? :D

:D @Guff you are 110% right, they were not safe in a collision. Not just the Supra, but most of those 90's car to be honest. Not going to mention any names on this forum out of respect, but I personally knew a good man who died in a Supra too. Unless you owned a Volvo back then, nothing was...

Thank you sir...

The RC-f is 4000lbs, 472hp V8, and costs $70k. The RC-F does 0-60 in 4.0sec. Very difficult and expensive to modify for not much power gains. Engine is not prepped for modifications. The Subaru STI is 3400lbs, 315hp, F4T, and costs $38k. The STI does 0-60 in 4.5sec. Factory turbocharged so...

Oh you mean exactly what Toyota did with the MKIV (and what just about every Japanese car maker does) before shipping them out of the factory??? You think cars like the MKIV, GTR, etc... are designed to perform at their peak off the assembly line?? Lol! They typically overbuild the...

Has Toyota in it's history ever produced an unreliable car?....let alone an unreliable sports car? Regardless of where the motor, trans, diff, etc... came from, Toyota engineers have extensively tested every component to ensure it meets or exceeds their standards. Now, if Toyota's standards...

Your very presumptuous reply is the problem with the staunch defenders of this car. I do in fact understand the complexities of car development. For a company that already has other existing platforms, saying they don’t know how to produce sports cars is misleading, let’s also not forget some of...

Do you or anyone else who still feels that the MKV is a failure have any clue how designing and manufacturing cars (especially sports cars) works? Your living in some imaginary world if you think manufacturers of any product are designed and built 100% by themselves. That shit doesn’t happen...

My friends are dicks I will agree with you on that...hehe. Replacing the odo to a new one would not fall in this category, it’s the odometers that were/are healthy....which many many are. Those won’t show up in the CarFax.

To say most MKIV’s haven’t had this done is even more asinine. After the F&F, many MKIV owners (especially the 6spd TT cars) had this done to retain value when reselling. You were probably too young to even know this. Because the ecu doesn’t record the miles like on newer cars, all they did...

You haven’t heard of Jr Barrios (JR Tuned) and you have a flat four??? Where have you been ma’ man?? He is a very talented tuner for the boxer platform. If my memory serves me right, he holds the record for tuning the first stock block ~600hp STI (CJ’s STI, see video below). He ran that...
