dude, just talk to some local Supra owners at a weekly Cars & Coffee in your area and ask to hear/listen to their car. I get why you posted but at the end of the day, it's really difficult for us to truly quantify this stuff. We can say "this exhaust is louder than that one", but even then...
ran Laguna Seca for the first time over the weekend. Amazing track and deceivingly complex. It's massive elevation change truly tests your braking wits.... and your balls.
heres a video clip recorded from when the photo above was taken:
I just got back from Laguna Seca last weekend after breaking-in a new Clutchmasters FX1000 twin disc with aluminum flywheel. I'm aware of the thread of people having had some issues with it so I was hesitant to run the setup. However, it was free. A shop offered to test something "new" from...
Clutch started slipping at almost 12K miles, about 12 track events. Only increased power the last two events.

For a high-speed run like that, the priority should be minimizing lift wherever possible rather than simply adding high-pressure downforce. A drag wing from Verus is a solid option. Up front, hood or fender vents — along with opened or cut fenders like EVS fenders — can help evacuate pressure...
just going to throw this in here. I have 11.8K miles, 10 track events. During this event (in this spliced together clip of slip), I was running 485HP, 470wtq.
I suspect they do because I'm now using a Verus V1X wing, and the struts are able to hold it up when lifting the hatch. I'll get you a part number later.
There's no additional reinforcement on the underside of the trunk itself. Just the reinforcement plates that attach to the underside of the upright mounts. The wing itself does not generate so much downforce that additional reinforcement is necessary.
If it's about aesthetics, just run it the way you think looks good. As long as you're not rubbing, there's no problem. If you plan to track, that's a separate discussion.
Ran NASA Buttonwillow (CW #1) over the weekend. Unfortunately had some clutch slippage issues so I decided to continue the day and allow the clutch to die a honorable slow death. Even though I was only able to half throttle fourth gear, I was still able to get some meaningful testing done on...
487WHP, 495WTQ. Tuned to have a more linear tq curve. Apparently there’s people running more HP/TQ on 6MT and have no issues with slipping because they know how to drive and the people slipping don’t.
I was at Buttonwillow for the weekend. Using Ferodo DS1.11 for the first time and after four sessions I'm mostly pleased. Also my first time running RZ's. I've never run RS's so I have no reference for comparison to the two, but I like the stiffer sidewall compared to the AD09's I was...
