You guys can knock the old v8 in the LC500 all you want, but its the favorite thing about the car of pretty much every reviewer that's reviewed it. Its one of the few hold outs that hasn't gone lower displacement turbo and people appreciate the old school approach and awesome soundtrack.

That is the almost exact weight of an 85 mk2 Supra PType with a manual tranny. Sounds good to me!

I've been interested in this car since I first caught wind of it, but I would only actually consider buying one new if it had a real Toyota heart. Very interested in more info on the latest motor rumors here. Like who is building what and who designed what. It seems odd BMW would roll out a new...

wouldn't be a supra if it were a liftback. If it were a Celica, it could go either way, or both. They've already messed with the forumla enough by not having backseats, doubt they will change any other Supra hailmarks (beyond it not actually being a Toyota).

The M4 and M3 both have the S58 More likely Bosch these days ;) Though the last one they made with Fuji Heavy Industries was quite fun.

... you mean the best naturally aspirated inline 6s in the world. Or maybe, just the best currently (seeing as Toyota hasn't had one in a production car since 2007). As for exhaust note, lets keep in mind that the great mk4 factory exhaust had 3 mufflers, 2 cats, split into 2 pipes and then...

Barely. You kinda sound like a hardcore BMW fanboy who doesn't know his history. Just like BMW, Toyota started out in a different industry. BMW started making aircraft engines in 1917. Toyota started making industrial looms in 1924. The first car made entirely by BMW was in 1932. The first car...

The BRZ was so totally un Subaru, the company literally had to change their official company motto\tag line so they could. Before the BRZ, it was "The Beauty of All Wheel Drive" lol The BRZ is the best damn Toyota, Subaru ever built.

oh, you're the guy Toyota talked to about the new supra and our transmission preference. Thanks a lot dude lol

Wrong decade dude. FNF came out 2001. Technically the car was still in production in Japan, but long gone from our shores by that point. Though used prices swelled back up to the original MSRP after the film (and again now too lol). And speaking of, all this theorizing comparing to other...

If they based it off the RC300\350 that could certainly work. Now that is a chassis about the right size and duty level for a Supra. The RC200t is 3750lbs, atrocious, but like you say, if you strip out the Lexus grade interior and amenities you could get down to something sane. But not the LC...

As we've established, the new turbo v6 is at best the same weight as the NA v8. We've also established the curb weight differences between Soarer's and mk4 Supras, and there is no 600lbs hiding in there. But what you are really not getting, which is odd since you've driven one, is the pure...

Yeah I used to think the car would be a good base for the new Supra too, then I saw one in person. It's way bigger then you think... That's it there making an Aston Martin Vantage look small. I don't want a 3800lb Supra, no thanks. Could be based on the RC350 chassis though, but that would...

Parts cost most is what gets you with BMW stuff, and constant CELL codes, and the fact that they suck at electronics and making reliable drivetrains and suspension. You say ironic, but a jdm vvti 2jzgte can be had all day long for 2grand. Price out what replacing the vanos system on a BMW motor...

Sure, when its under warranty. Have fun in year 10.... Also, this motor has an aluminum block with 0.3mm of iron welded to the cylinder bores. Have fun rebuilding that or upgrading the pistons. Beemer mechanicals are great for performance while in warranty, but don't expect Toyota levels of...

We don't know for sure if the side vents are functional yet, but the fact that they are exposed now is a pretty good sign.

Its always so hard to tell with this kind of plastic mesh because sometimes they use this stuff perforated and sometimes its solid depending if the vent is fake or real. However, they tend not to reveal more then they have to when it comes to preproduction test cars so I'm guessing any exposed...

I did not seriously mean one company makes all the interiors now, just that the styles in use and production techniques and materials everyone is using is super similar. Its resulting in not being able to tell who makes the car you are sitting in by just looking at the interior. I've actually...

pssst, Japan was a part of the Axis, that's the joke. And that's all it is, it's just a little funny that those countries are all working together again. I'm not too concerned about interiors. I was just at the new car show and sat in all the new models. I swear everyone is having their...

Anyway you cut it.... the Axis is going to win this one lol. Hmmm, I wonder if there's any Italian made parts on this thing. Also, Austria was annexed by Germany in the very beginning of ww2 and absorbed into the Nazi empire. Just saying... lol
