Pretty interesting turn of events. Just a little over a year ago, Z Fans were hating on the Supra for not having a MT option. Then they found out the Z was a bit of a dud performance wise, hoping the NISMO would save them, and the NISMO wonāt come in MT! Cherry on top is the Supra has a readily...
I had the same thought watching this. He's always had a negative bias toward this car because of the Toyota-BMW collaboration; the negativity/bias was evident in their Supra videos and especially in their discussions/comparisons of the Nissan Z (and history has spoken on how well that "Supra...
GT7 is so good in VR - I get such an adrenaline rush each time the race starts and throws you into the cockpit. Apparently an update came out today that some are claiming improves graphical fidelity too. Will check that out tonight.
I had an old Logitech Driving Force GT wheel that I used on PS3 for GT5 - it was not supported on PS5 so I went with the G923. I've been considering repurposing the Driving Force GT in an arcade racing cabinet...
PSVR2 is great. I have an older Oculus CV1 for reference, and compared to that...
My PSVR2 arrived recently and I went ahead and ordered a wheel/pedal + cockpit setup to enjoy Gran Turismo 7 in VR. It's pretty wild how accurate the interior details are in the Supra including the dashboard and windshield HUD.
Here are some pics of my setup (racing in a Supra in picture 3):
Similar to me.
38 yrs old in AR with clean record. $90 a month for Supra (with maxed out liability options) - this will go down next year once I submit my annual mileage too. This is with AAA who is also providing my home insurance, so I'm supposedly getting a deal there as well.
I live in a pretty rural area. If the grid goes down (which it can during a bad storm) and all I have are electric vehicles, I'd be stranded. If we're mandating lower-emission vehicles, I'd much prefer a hybrid vs an EV for my daily driving.
This is hilarious and sad:

The ZF8 is such a stellar automatic transmission that I'm not itching to trade mine for a MT. I imagine that'll be a factor in the future value of these cars.
Iām not nostalgic at all to the Z brand, or to the Supra for that matter. Iām also not daily-driving my sports car. If Iām paying 50-60k for a sports car it needs to have excellent performance for that price range.
All the Z reviews Iāve seen show that its performance is a huge let down for...
With the GR86 on the heels of the Nissan Z, and getting destroyed by the 3.0 Supra (especially in Throttle Houseās latest vide - ouch!), I now REALLY want to see the Z go up against the 2.0 Supra on a track.
