Giving the Fast and Furious too much credit is oversimplifying the MKIV’s value. If the 2JZ engine wasn’t as good as it is, the MKIV wouldn’t be close to what it’s worth today. If we’re taking the NSX out of the comparison, the MKIV is the best Japanese sports car of its era. And the MKIV is...
Probably so were the rx-7, nsx. LFA too but maybe harder to compare that with its price tag and different era. Even the MKV sales are pretty lackluster.
Maybe someone with more motorsport history knowledge could jump in, I think the MKIV and 2JZ were already making big noise in the drag world and also Japanese motorsports. I think people are giving the fast and furious a little too much credit and not giving the 2JZ it’s flowers…sure maybe the...
Are there a lot of manual purist threads? The popular manual threads are “a91-mt clutch slipping”, “is there a warning to prevent money shifting”, “CDV removal for manual driving experts only”. This thread with the OP who has a “6MT” badge takes the cake tho. OP’s review offers nothing of...
How many miles do you have on the car? I can't imagine this is the worst shifter unless you've experience only the best manual cars. I think you need at least 2000 miles to pass a final judgment. I'm also having some difficulties getting used to downshifting from 5th to 4th gear, but only have...
Before I bought the car I thought I wouldn’t like iMT. I thought “no manual car needs auto rev matching, how un-manly”, but it’s a nice aid since it keeps your revs pinned before letting off the clutch. I still blip the throttle on downshifts for fun to make it still feel like I’m doing...
That's good to know. Maybe I'll just buy a regular OEM one and attempt to paint myself or find a auto paint shop. Silly I was able order the limited Launch Edition red mirror caps through Toyota no VIN required. I was really hoping to have a 1 of 1 2024 Ren Red Supra with 2020 LE red mirror caps...
Haha 2 yrs ago before you or I had a manual Supra, we both probably have multiple replies/comments on this forum sounding like bonehead manual trans evangelists. I’ll still say MT drivers are a different breed in the Supra community, but as a consolation, the automatic track dedicated Supra’s...
2024 MY announcements were like the end of June. (below link shows June 21st)

Only 120 miles on my odometer, I don't know if I'll get past 1000 miles in 1 month. I only drive about 500 miles per month overall. Break in car on track? lol
In honor of @razorlab, I’m gonna stay off these forums for at least a week and just enjoy my new to me Supra. #freerazorlab2024
Also I spend way too much time on here too.
