The front end looks very similar to one of the GTA cars.

I'd consider it more in the mid range with the M2C, Cayman, ZL1, and the GT350. Entry level would be Miatas, BRZ/86s, base Mustangs/Camaros/Challengers (the ones who get railed on for not being V8s), and Golf GTIs. I'd make a case there's an "entry premium" range where the 2.0, 370Z -> new Z...

It's definitely a good add performance wise.

In terms of affordability, it's definitely not the average young person's car. I think the kids see it as a tuner car which has always been depicted as a young person thing in mainstream media. They probably think "Toyota badge -- must be cheap" and not realize these cars are somewhat pricey. I...

It's largely been raining for the last week, so I can't really say yet, and I'm out of town for a bit, not that the Seattle weather is likely to change much.

It is. There's Seattle, Portland, and Denver chapters. They do events like private track days at the Ridge and Pacific, some car shows, dyno days, and more. Its $100/yr (I think), and I think it's definitely worth it. You get a lot of discounts, and a new member Griot's car detailing kit.

Spotted a yellow 3.0 premium just past the tunnel on 99-N, I was driving by in the white one with the A91 stripes, you on here?

I finally got the rear Continental DWS06+s installed. It's a night and day difference with the rainy 40 degree weather here in Seattle compared to the stock PSSs.

I haven't been to any personally, but an Avants partnership suggests these are pretty good: Seattle Partners for Detailing — Avants

FWIW, the decrease here looks only marginally better than the temperature decrease I saw with the Verus heat shield and MST intake V2, and those look to be much easier installations.

I've ordered some 255/35/19 DWS06+s from Tire Rack, and they're backordered till January, so heads up; you may see similar issues. I've got the rears already installed, but might stick it out since I'm not going to be driving the car for near a month.

LOL updated the thread with some pics

Today marks 1 year of ownership for me (approximately 13k miles), so I figured it would make sense to do a quick build log and some of my learnings with the car: Installed parts/mods (no particular order): PPF Ceramic coat JB4 AA catted DP Verus turbo heat shield MST intake V2 with clear lid...

Thanks for the info. I'll get in touch if the current order is delayed.

I'm curious how long delivery took for you from when you placed the order. I've got some DDCs that I've been waiting on.

Nice! Are those KWs?

Those kidney grilles are way too big, especially in proportion to the headlights, and the choice to use lighting to highlight those grilles seems questionable at best. As for the interior, it seems cramped from the pictures, and brown leather doesn't really help the cause. It's fairly well...

https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/30/22809724/bmw-new-xm-hybrid-concept-electric-vehicle BMW makes great internals, but that exterior is downright ugly. I'm glad they didn't have the same level of input into the Supra.

I'm running both without a tune. You should be good to go. As you said, not too much of a gain without one.
