Yep... this video has its own thread on here. 3 second gap is pretty huge for that small test track.
Car and Driver has also been fairly vocal about the Z's deficiencies too in multiple comparison articles. People on the Z's forum are taking it personal.
This is not the 'Supra Killer' they...
Be careful not to accidentally close the trunk on the emergency release handle or mess with that cable in any way (my trunk wouldn't open and it took a month for dealer to resolve). I'm not messing with the trunk any more than I have to now! :D
And now that we've got confirmation that the Supra is a superior sports car to the similarly-priced performance Z, it's clear that Toyota nailed it with their BMW collaboration. Without it, Toyota would have released a much more expensive car, a worse-performing car, or nothing at all in this...

It seems that Z forum members are accepting that the Supra is the superior sports car. They've regressed back to subjective talking points like the Supra's fake vents and their feelings about the BMW collab. What an interesting development this has been.
That'll be awesome if so, considering recent reviews for the new Nissan Z note that the MT version has noticeably quieter exhaust due to some CA regulation.
Oh man would it be weird to shift through the gears with my left hand, which is a funny thought considering I use my left foot to shift gears on all my motorcycles...
@14:10 Cammisa nails why the BMW/Toyota partnership was such a good move. Toyota gave us a 52k Supra without up charging for all the R&D $$ that went into developing the BMW components (i.e., the end result is that the Supra doesn't have to go into "limp mode" like the Z, as Cammisa describes)...
I listened to this on my way to work this morning and his comments about BMW’s high budget engineering vs Nissan’s limited budget engineering (~14:10 in the video) really reinforces what a good decision it was by Toyota to team up with BMW to give us the Supra at an affordable price.
Edit...
That cognac leather looks amazing. This is going to be a crazy fun car to drive.
On Reddit, the top comment is complaining about the electric parking brake. What?!
I just installed the Rexspeed (V1?) lip spoiler. Fitment is great with no defects that I could tell. Very happy with it.
I also installed the Rexspeed door handle covers along with some interior carbon fiber additions.
Everything purchased from Speed Industry. First time ordering with them and...
Another Little Rock MKV owner... I thought I was the only one around. We should start a club :D
I live near Congo/Ferndale. Been enjoying the supra on the roads out there.
