I understand that question.
First, I want something with a manual transmission.
Second, I want more room and more power than my NC Miatas.
Third, I want to be able to take it to the track when I am not towing to the track.
Fourth, I want it to be fun around town.
To me the M2 is the obvious...
Thank you for the great info.
Sounds like we share DNA. š

Lotuses are sublime, but my friends who own them have warned me about service. On track they are amazing. Iāve ridden with friends on track in an Exige, Elise, Evora GT and Emira. All were...
Thanks for the explanation. Iām happy to hear your experience was positive.
To be clear, I havenāt made any modifications to my Supra yet and I have not tracked it yet. I was about to pull the trigger on some track upgrades when I learned of the fuel starvation issue. The heat management...
Kaj,
Interesting comment. It begs the question, āWhy do you say that?ā
Are heat management issues and fuel starvation uncommon with these cars when pushed hard on track?
Do these cars have sufficient negative camber from the factory?
Is the stock suspension and its geometry well suited for the...
Overheating and fuel starvation are my top 2. I havenāt fully explored suspension issues with the M2.
I typically do 12 or so track weekends a year at tracks like COTA (maybe no longer), Eagles Canyon, Ozarks, Barber, Road Atlanta, and Watkins Glen. I hope to get back to VIR next year. I also...
I bought a new FE 6MT last year and it has mostly lived in my garage (about 800 miles on the odometer). I bought it with the thought that it would be my fun drive around town and drive to the track car. Hindsight being what it is, I probably should have bought one of the other cars I was...

Tracks: Watkins Glen, COTA, Barber, OIR, and VIR.
The driver is your skill level.
Stock power.
The Supra is a bone stock 2026 FE with 6MT (except as prepped for the track day).
What are the key weaknesses of the Supra that need to be addressed to drive the car hard all session on track for HPDE 20-30 min sessions and sometimes longer (I.e. Chin happy hours) when ambient temperatures are between 65-90F.
Advanced driver driving 8-9/10ths
Normal track prep would include...
MSRH has lots of debris in the paddock and on the track surface. Iāve stopped driving there unless itās a member day with only a few cars. Too many windshield chips/cracks.
Sold to me, but I have decided to go a different direction. So, I am offering them for sale. Located in Houston, but willing to meet up if not too far out of my way. I go to many different race tracks around the country, including some in Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, New York, and...
