  1. 2020 Toyota Supra Spied testing at the Nurburgring (4 minute video)

    people say change is good, but many people really hate and resist change... I mean, hell, there's plenty of stuff I hate seeing change, but some stuff simply has to and that's how we end up improving. I just wish the car blogs and stuff weren't pushing the negativity because people look to...
  2. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    it's all good haha. I'm patient because there is always going to be a gap with questions/answers etc; same goes for me.
  3. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    they are more for style in order to break up negative space. when blocked off, they are also in their best engineered configuration with the least drag/turbulence. you could remove them for racing and fab your own ducting, but there's a reason the GTE race car also has them blocked off.
  4. 2020 Toyota Supra Spied testing at the Nurburgring (4 minute video)

    haha, I'm more or less unofficially sanctioned to help the Supra along which is something I'm not sure if I have mentioned. it's a verbal agreement of sorts between a few of us including some higher up individuals who would never be named. this is part of the reason why I give away details here...
  5. 2020 Toyota Supra Spied testing at the Nurburgring (4 minute video)

    ^ Not a bad idea really, but provided you don't sign anything then just snap some pics/video and run lol
  6. If not the New Supra, then what?

    you need more than 8.4L? You monster...
  7. The Lexus LC500 & LC500h, Plus LC-F Talk

    I won't speak to the new motors specifically, but the top tier option I'm working on is flagship only and will likely be the same as story as the LFA.
  8. Lexus RC350 & RC-F

    It's lackluster just as the RC-F has always been sadly... until that thing moves on the to next gen it's stuck in a weird place, which is why people struggle to find reasons to buy them (the regular RC does pretty well though iirc). That said, this particular car is similar to the ISF CCR.
  9. If not the New Supra, then what?

    I love the Gen V and wish Chrysler didn't kill it :(
  10. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    Haha, it wasn't that, but yeah there's so many jokes/puns to be made. Not a great name IMO
  11. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    Yeah TMS USA doesn't want the Gazoo branding period, and neither do I really lol. Tada made a joke about this actually (about GR as a whole), but I can't repeat it. The general sentiment though was similar.
  12. The Lexus LC500 & LC500h, Plus LC-F Talk

    like I say continually, people love to be negative and bash things, but ultimately there are really cool things happening and folks need to relax a little and enjoy them as they are released. I get the discussion aspect and excitement that comes with drama, but things are going great and there...
  13. The Lexus LC500 & LC500h, Plus LC-F Talk

    ...and that's the bottom end of the spectrum ;) lol
  14. The Lexus LC500 & LC500h, Plus LC-F Talk

    add 55k to the new GTR...
  15. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    yeah, it's something I've commented on before but 10 seconds originally before Tada took over. the elaboration is the why in regards to Porsche, but there are ultimately still things I can't say despite dropping a ton of hints about it.
  16. 2020 Supra Transmission Chat - Manual, Dual Clutch, or Auto?

    According to Tada, the reason why the 86 hasn't had a power bump is due to the chassis not meeting internal strength and rigidity targets for reliability. Tada explained this to me in detail when I asked why they don't just toss V6 into it and make like 300hp. of course, he also made the balance...
  17. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    must resist urge to elaborate... Anyhow, it would be either Spa or the 'Ring, but I believe both were Spa (I know that's where the Supra embarrassed the Z4)
  18. 2020 Supra Transmission Chat - Manual, Dual Clutch, or Auto?

    The argument is that potential BRZ/86 owners specifically said it had to have a manual (unanimously), as where those they interviewed for the Supra said that it was not the deciding factor in buying the car (instead, inline 6, tunability, and speed were emphasized). That's the reason why I'm...
  19. "⁣Supra goes Madrid" - Toyota Europe invites to drive the new A90

    It won't be the mass public debut (there has been speculation that's LA), but it has been chosen as a debut location to the tuner market apparently. Like with anything though, who knows if that will end up being the case.
  20. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    "Also I don’t think the Cayman was mentioned for promotional reasons. Because they’ve actually beaten the 911 CarreraS with it already in testing,haha." :)
