That, and with the size of the average American, maybe they assumed the car will be loaded to the weight limit at all times anyway.

Interesting sticker. I’m in the U.S. and it only lists the pressure for the wheels on the car, and only lists 38 PSI, not a range. I’ll try dropping tire pressure when I have some time to cruise back roads.

Looks nice! Looks like something that could’ve been an OEM option. So much better than the carbon fiber monstrosities that have somehow become popular.

The sticker in the door asks for 38 PSI. What’re the pros and cons of 38 vs 32?

riveting tale ol chap

I got on the waiting list in March ‘24 at my local dealer for a Supra at MSRP. I wanted auto, premium, driver assist package. Blue was my first choice and white my second. I was told I was around #15 on the list. While waiting, I was offered a black auto and a blue manual. I passed. In August...

The IS probably has 3x the glass area of a Supra so I’d expect the Supra to be different. I was surprised how comfortable the Supra is getting into it after work on a hot day.

I have leather seats in mine and it gets into the low 100s in the summer here for the highs. I just got the car this past August so haven’t had it for a full summer yet, but the seats and interior in general have been surprisingly cool on hot days. The windows are tiny, that probably helps with...

If it had 3.0 wheels on it, it'd blend right in on this site haha. The 2.0 was sold in '24, discontinued for '25 - see Car and Driver article

You’re old enough to have a kid that drives? I wonder how ages compare of manual vs auto Supra buyers.

I think this is the part a lot of people are forgetting. The people buying these used in 10 years didn’t grow up with the shitty 90s automatics.

I got a red ‘24 for $5k under back in August. It sat on the dealer lot for a week before they dropped the price. It looks pretty sweet, it gets more attention from random people than I had expected. Red was also not my first choice, but it’s grown on me.

I drive a ‘24 3.0. It’s a street car so no giant wing or carbon lips, no aftermarket intake that more often than not actually reduces power, etc. All common mods on 3.0 Supras.

There’s no shortage of riced out 3.0 Supras on this site. Having the bigger engine doesn't take away peoples’ desire for unnecessary mods.

Paying cash isn’t the negotiating tactic you seem to think it is.

What’s your suspension setup? Do you have wheel spacers or not? Looks really good!

The FL5 is an awesome car. If I needed to buy a 4 door, that’s what I’d get. A combo of auto Supra + FL5 would complement each other very nicely.

That’s a good point. When I was waiting for an auto to appear earlier this year, Toyota’s inventory page was 80% manual within a 500 mile range of me. I counted them. New autos are now hard to find, especially if you’re picky about the color and options.

Are you saying a modified car can be faster than a stock car? What’s to keep someone with an auto from doing the same mods as you? But without the clutch issues that the manual is known for I don’t think the market for manuals will disappear anytime soon. I also don’t think the manual Supra...

It’d be crazy to buy the slower version of a car in the hopes that the next guy will want it a little more. I’m not convinced the manual will be worth more in the future, since people who own them say it’s not very good (even in this thread). I’m not sure that the people who will be buying...
