Guff....i think now is an appropriate time for me to say, "told ya so." :D
There isn't a single part in that engine bay that is made by Toyota....not even a damn washer. Everything has BMW written all over it....it is a Z4, no; and, if, or but's about it. The motor is on a slant, so we can...
In all fairness to the reputable folks on this forum, we should probably wait for more concrete info before assuming it will be an identical car. I too believe it will be a "cookie-cutter car", sharing 90% of the Z4's components (not the other way around)...but, I should probably reserve...
He’s got a very good point. I agree with him on this, I don’t think it’s so much that it’s a BMW engine, I think it’s more about the legendary Supra sharing a platform with an non-legendary Z4. The Z4 has historically been a “candy wrapper car”....you use it for a bit and it’s useless and on...
Great video, it demonstrated perfectly why the Supra name means so much today....bc of the A80. Lol! I didn’t hear one A60 or A70 owner in that clip say anything about their cars contributing to the cult following.
This car better live up to the MKIV Supra....or it will see the same fate as...
I think most people (including myself) knew perfectly well of Toyota & BMW’s joint venture. I think what most of us didn’t know or realize up to this point, is just how much similarities the two platforms shared. Honestly, I was thrilled when I heard about the BMW partnership, because I knew a...
Let’s talk a bit about Yamaha’s involvement. A70TTR, any news? Do you know the layout of the inline 6 yet?....will it be like the RB where it will be at angle? Front facing intake manifold? Dual VVT-i? Anything more?
This is what I have been saying all along....the name of a a car has significant impact on a car. I have said over and over again, that had the MKV Supra been called something else (i.e., GT-1), it would have been welcomed more "gracefully" and seen substantially less negativity than what we...
Yes, however, I am not looking for the "Chronos package" or whatever else Porsche threw in for a huge markup. Black is the color of choice, and a 6spd is the only way for a 911. I saw one with 14k miles for $77k....was super clean and looked menacing as hell.
I do all the work myself on all...
Well, I hope the market is not leaning in the direction of "all show and no go." Sort of defeats the whole purpose of a "sports car." Also, Europeans have never really been keen on buying big displacement motors, primarily because of petrol costs. So, small displacement motors will obviously...
Ever since I got a chance to ride in my co-workers 997TT, I have been glued to the computer this whole week looking for good 997TT examples. I have been in fast cars (1000hp Supra's, 1000hp Vipers, etc...) but none of those cars felt comfortable and confident at high speeds like the 911. I...
I'm not saying the Supra is identical to the NSX....im saying from what we know so far, signs are pointing to the same fate. The MKV Supra doesn't need to cost $150k to be considered a failure. My point is don't compare them from a price point against each other, compare them in category. The...
I don't dictate what is considered success or failure for Toyota Motor Company....I think sales numbers will speak for themselves on that. Obviously everyone has their own opinion, right? However, there are cars that have failed to accomplish their goal immediately after release. For example...
