I could see the car being an A-chassis if it was designated as such from the ground up, but Tada didn't start in on the A90 thing until relatively recently (years after J29/etc was on the books).
Retroactive chassis codes aren't a thing, at least not that I'm aware of...
yeah, I watched his review and more or less agreed with his sentiments, specifically that weight and the sluggish trans ruin what that car could be.
shave 6-700lbs off that thing, same P/W ratio, and give me a ZF8 and I'd be good to go... then you realize that's the new Supra in a nutshell.
not sure what to say really, only that many things could have gone differently, but I really try to not discuss could of, would of, should of scenarios anymore because they ultimately achieve very little.
I will say that while many seem to praise Lexus, I have far more disagreements with...
I haven't heard even the slightest indication of it being called a 3JZ, and that probably has a large part to do with not disrespecting Yamahas contributions (they are Yamaha designed motors after all).
The A90 thing is a marketing ploy to slot the new Supra in as the newest in the line of...

that reaction would have been fun... hopefully he has a nice vacation.
but yeah, I like the Focus RS as well, just not even the same class of car so trolling aside it was like uh?
Asked about the composite roof, and apparently that has been reserved for something above the base car... The reason I asked was Tada said in an interview that the car was composed of only steel and aluminum which runs contrary to something he told me in the past.
So either the carbon top...
Tada doesn't care for many of the A80 owners he spoke with in the US and possibly elsewhere (not going to waste time delving into in detail), and another individual mentioned in this thread made a comment that he started removing several of them from his social media for negative comments made...
