I already mentioned the tuning is different. That much should be obvious. But for all intents and purposes, it's the same 8 speed transmission. But yeah, the one on my Jeep is built to handle higher torque than the lightweight version in the Supra. I already knew that, but I didn't want to...

Compare it? No, only the transmission since it's exactly the same. My performance car has a 6MT. My mall crawler has a slushbox. Priorities. LOL

Piece of shit? Like you? ? Okay Nancy. I've had it for 5 years now and never had a single issue. Oil changes and tires, nothing else But I do like having the same slushbox in my Jeep that's in your Supra. For my car, I have a 6MT. I do like the ZF8 for the mall crawler though....

Jeep has the same ZF8HP. Its identical to the Supra, but obviously with different tuning. It's a good transmission. Especially for trips to the grocery store. ?

No, wait for the manual. You'll get raped buying an automatic and selling it so quickly. WaIt and get the car you really want. The manual transmission car will be worth it.

Nah, the Jeep itself is awesome. The ZF8 is about average.

This.

Unfortunately, that's already true today. If I valued acceleration that much, I'd just get a Tesla and not even think about transmissions at all.

Got a ZF8 in my Jeep. It's okay...nothing to write home about.

I have no interest in this car without a manual. I strongly suspect you will eventually regret getting an automatic. Why? Because you wouldn't be having this conflict in your mind if the automatic was the right choice for you. Don't make the mistake of buying one of the few remaining cars like...

As someone who once worked in autobody, I can tell you that paint codes vary enough to make a noticeable difference easily seen by eye. So when we have to match existing paint, we use several spray cards to find the best possible match before painting and blending. Each spray card is a slight...

I'd argue that it's not deception, but rather our eyes ability to see defects due to reflective properties of darker versus lighter colors. Lighter colors are simply more forgiving to our eyes. But darker colors have the benefit of greater depth. For that reason, I'm much more of a white car...

Black is tough for sure. A white car is much easier to deal with.

Rock chips are pretty easy to fix with Dr. Colorchip. I have a few that you can't see at all unless you have you nose 6" from the paint.

IMO, PPF is a waste of money for several reasons. And installing it can do lots of damage if you have a poor installer who ends up cutting into the paint. And that happens a lot. The other issue is that it has to be removed after a while and reapplied unless you want to risk peeling off the...

German cars typically have hard paint. My Audi is a great example. Anyone who does paint correction knows that some paints are soft and some are hard. I prefer hard paint even if it is more difficult to correct.

What's your suspension set up? The ride height seems to be perfect.

Sure....I'm just saying it's possible. It should be staggered as well, with the inside tips sticking out a bit further than the outside tips. So yeah, it would be a pretty custom set up, but it would look fantastic on the MKV.

I put quads on my Audi. For me, I ended up buying an AWE exhaust and just had to pop in the already-available S5 rear diffuser.

it could be done if the tips branched off from a "Y" at the stock muffler outlet.
