I bought an RCF, it's great. Feels like a Japanese Porsche 928.
Honestly, the decision to sell AT and go MT would have been far harder without the RCF in my life.
The advances in turbo tech, Single is always better (not cooler though) than twin turbo.
It is 30 year old tech, but, the GTX single on my 2JZ makes more boost, earlier, than the standard twins, and will happily rev to 7200 and make power all the way there.
I've actually had to limit it to...
Hah, my dealer let me
a) order my supra subject to test drive of their demo
b) Let me flog the crap out of their demo
c) Saw me looking at the GR Yaris in the yard (post Supra purchase) and came out, gave me the keys, said "I know you won't buy it, you have too many cars, but come back in an...
They're crap.
One bang every now and again during hard driving, or even a bang on IGN cut like a sequential would be ok.
But when you're trying to find *exhaust videos* and every one is judged on how the pops and bangs sound - not how the car ACTUALLY SOUNDS under load or decel - makes me...
Tightening emissions standards and laws in EU will Govern what they can do with power/aero.
Hence I believe it will not be a hotter B58, probably an S58, but I doubt //M will give that up.
I don't reckon they could get more power from the B58 without breaching emissions specifications, so hence the S58. I'm not convinced M will give that up.
If it does arrive it will be the GT4 car for the road IMHO
I agree. I have had Supras since 2003, and rowing your own gears is the best. All my old Supras are modified and turbo, and my race supra is a 5 speed.... it was an auto when I bought it, and it went in the bin (literally) within a week hahah
I live in rural Vic... so no traffic to deal with...
I'm definitely excited. But I'm also sad as I will kinda miss the 8aT in full manual mode (even though I'm a manual tragic, all my other supras are manual)...
I see your point of view. I'm in a similar industry, we design and manufacture motorsport/military transmissions etc.... All in house, and I'm the head of the engineering team (I'm a mech eng)
So while hand building things is a craft (a dying one sadly), similarly, there's so much more to...
First text message to dealer saying I am interested was April 15... subject to test drive.
Confirmed I wanted it (removed test drive condition) was 8th May.
If I create an artwork, and then get it printed at a printer, does that make it the printer's creation?
If an architect designs a building and contracts some dudes to build it, does it make it the dude's building?
Toyota and BMW designed the car, and made it with new and existing parts.
It's...
