This is facilitated by dealers for sure, but is more to do with Americans being all about instant gratification (they want their vehicle today!) and volume. In Japan, you option the car exactly the way you want, pay, they build it, and you get it a few months later (sometimes faster). I've...

The mules were pretty damn light.

That display is from TGR; I posted a pic a little while back where it was featured at the Supra launch event.

Those arguments were beyond ridiculous just based on chassis dynamics, let alone the expected tq figure at the time.

Where there is a will there is a way... That said, decent performance has already been made on the B58 (6-700whp), so I'm not entirely sure what will be needed or if perhaps it is already available (or nearly so) somewhere. Beyond my expertise.

Room for a bigger turbo and downpipe, although it's cool that they used oval piping stock.

It's the smaller turbo(s)... My VR30 (Q50RS) falls on its face up top as well unfortunately. Everything is give and take.

yeah, the sort of lame thing though is the smaller info display and smaller rear brakes. If you mean Premium vs Launch however, then I agree.

They may do just that in JP.

Nismo started with the R32, then 33 and 34. So, A70 may be first, obviously because it's better :D

they have two prototypes currently, both dual exit.

the 14-way seats are crazy heavy and you can drop the subs as well; that's easily over 100lbs (out of the Premium) other than that, it's going to be small weight savings here and there because honestly the car is pretty light in this day and age.

Yes, according to what I have read, but it was very brief. The issue is that a bunch of this heritage stuff is a marketing play. That doesn't mean it's not an awesome victory for owners, but when you consider the goals of the company you start to realize that there are going to be limits on...

Not a lot of has been covered as of yet, even internally, but my understanding is that they will look at discontinued parts and what folks are trying to acquire for restoration first. Thankfully Shigeki Tomoyama is an avid A80 owner and knows many of the A70/A80 guys due to this. So he's likely...

It's not even the best Celica, let alone Supra :) (happily banned)

For now, this program is Japan only like Nismo heritage. It is also strictly for Supras as sort of a reward and marketing tool centered around the Toyota flagship status. A60 = not a Supra in Japan (Celica XX), and it's old as hell

It's all about the balance Tada is always lusting after/over.

No, PerformanceSound (a member on here)

egh, I'd be careful with that assumption unless someone has dyno'd the Z4. It *may* be a marketing play sure, but the Z4 might make closer to 380whp.
