Yeah we already knew a 400PS version was coming, Tada-San told us this months ago. Also the 335hp is enough for the car, it's plenty fast right now. The chassis will happily take the power bump tho.
Understand that Toyota is playing this in such a way to keep sales going over the next few...
Used car vs New Car argument is always gonna be in favor of a used car for value. Cayman S is $69,300 MSRP and an M2C is $58,900, so the Supra is pretty cheap in comparison. I think the real value contender here is the Camaro SS 1LE, but that's $49,500, which is only a $500 difference. The...
It is definitely fine pushing it on the street. I always understood what the front tires were doing and the weight and speed never once made me lose confidence. It just doesn't wriggle around in your fingertips like the 86 does, but to be fair, my BRZ on 255/40/17 fronts lost a little bit of the...
Cosmetically, my favorite thing on this car might be those rear hips. They are sooo wide, it looks super exotic when you're right up close with the car. Least favorite might be the blacked out pillars, I'm just not a fan of the floating roof design.
Dynamically, favorite thing is the balance...
Lol if you've actually driven it, then I don't think we drove the same car. This thing far outclasses an M240i. The chassis' aren't even comparable. Also this thing has a totally different unibody to the Z4, and is an order of magnitude more rigid. The side sills are almost twice the thickness...
No oil temp gauge that I saw, but it could have been in the performance gauges menu in iDrive, I didn't check. Cluster has water temp and fuel on either side.
The car warmed up at a pretty normal rate as far as I could tell, nothing out of the ordinary.
The seat felt pretty straight, no...
The Toyota supplied photos are definitely not accurate. It's got much more purple pop irl, esp in direct light. It's a really nice dark blue, my favorite color, I think.
I couldn't get any solid answer about Android Auto. As an android user myself, I feel your pain!
Tada San said that manual is still "under consideration", and then would always default to, "but that auto is great right?"
While I do admit, the auto is really good, I still want a manual and we...
7000rpm redline, yup!
Auto Start/Stop commits to memory, yes. But I don't remember about the sport mode. Didn't turn the cars off much to be fair haha, just kept driving.
Yeah, the trans definitely bangs off the shifts in the manual mode, it is very well tuned.
Okay, I'll touch on steering first. It's faster than the A80 Steering, and much better weighted. The A80 is incredibly overassisted, and that's one of the A80's biggest pitfalls IMO. The A90 doesn't quite have the same level of feel as the A80, and by feel I mean specifically the vibration and...
Ah damn, that's a good question! I didn't look at that screen much, only saw the Power/Torque screen, and I didn't mess around too much with it after that.
I haven't had the chance to drive either of those cars hard enough to truly evaluate them, but off the top of my head, the Supra definitely feels more focused than the Mustang, and certainly lighter than the Camaro. The Camaro has a fantastic chassis, but I would venture to say the Supra is...
Updated the OP with my review, also posted it in its own thread for any and all questions you guys want to ask about the car. I spent nearly 6-7 hours in the driver's seat on street and track, and also spent a good amount of time with Tada-San asking him all sorts of wacky and wild things...
