Hehe.. I was trying to convey that.. race inspired cosmetic enhancements (RICE) such as fake vents can also mean such measures were taken else where to give the potential buyer a false hope of performance.

Keep cost down.. as long as it looks cool and has a cool name ‘Supra’.. everyone will buy it expectation that Toyota seems to have with this car.
And you will see that this concept will work! I’m sure that more than 90 percent of potential customers won’t give a shit on those (fake) vents and all the other „problems“ you experts in here see.
The car looks good? The car rides good? So they’ll buy it!

Any idea on what time it posted?
No clue, we'll have to see if it gets posted on the Goodwood website.

Edit: Just from looking at the video, it looked like 57-58s. I'm sure it's got plenty more in it, Tada San isn't a pro driver and he wasn't pushing it for a lap time either.

Here are some similar laps of Goodwood, as posted by FastestLaps

EDIT: Time was 60.97 according to official Goodwood timing, so my YouTube timing was way off lol.

These lap times are worth nothing. Jaguar F Type R cannot be faster than those after it.

Take it easy buddy, I’ve only been MIA for a few days....not years. It’s easy to tell people to spend $80k+ on a car when it’s not your money .

I ain't saying good riddance, I was just curious since there was some details going on and wondered if you like what was being said.
