Analysis, Comments & Reactions from the Web about the new Supra

[RyanGT3RS]

And how is that any different than than MKIV owners hearing it's "all about drag races, high way rolls, and making 1000hp"?

Each their own, I just gave a few examples off the top of my head, we can go on and on about this and give millions more, but I take it, you already know what I mean.

Do you guys want to talk about BMW quality. Good thing there isn’t kidney grille on the MKV or else it might leave without you .

I would like to point out, if Toyota made a true 700hp Supra with hypercar killing abilities, there would be a 0% chance it would have a manual.

I would like to point out, if Chevrolet can make a manual Z06 with 650hp, Toyota can do it too. Or at least with a dual clutch.

I take it you already know what I mean too. Was the MKIV dominant in drag and highway racing - sure. But it also competed in other motorsports, especially internationally. Folks are always quick to dismiss this.

Anyways, back on topic...

Yes, I do, and I will say this, and this is from my perspective and encounter, not facts at all. Many of the Supras got that reputation because the whole jdm crowd at the time were all focused drag cars, high hp. This is in the states so I can’t speak in other parts of the world. Take all that and the ability to mod very easily and make power reliably and you get why the MKIV got that reputation. It’s a very capable car, indeed, but if you compare the crowd (nothing wrong with modding it that way either, like I said, each their own) vs the M3, S2000, NSX, Porsche, etc those groups were more focused with track, handling aspect, for the most part. Not saying there weren’t high Hp, highway roll sort of stuff either, but different crowd.

Just my two cents and opinion, all from experience and association with owners. Not trying to start and flame war on here, and I respect whatever people do to their cars, after all, it’s good to have variety.

Yes, back on topic.

Wow, mimicry. So tell me, what transmission will the C8 have? Oh right, an auto.

Honestly, I don't really care for DCTs. Maybe you should try one. They all have weird low speed driving behavior, and they often go wrong much more than the comparable auto counterparts. I would implore you to find anything wrong with the transmission in the new F90 M5.

Fuck me. Not this again. Do I have to make posts again and again? You dumbfucks need to stop bitching. Here is my post that I made in Lexus Enthusiast in order to silence a couple of people who did not know what they were talking about. It's time people understand this and look at this COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from their original delusional opinion. Look at my excerpt from a different point of view. Read up bitches.

After you read that, I will simply finish by saying this:

Old Supra (MKIV)/New Supra (MKV):

Base NA Supra = GR Supra
Supra Turbo = Supra GRMN

Now they haven't built the GRMN, YET. But they will soon. ^_^

No flame war, simply an educative discussion I'm well aware of the MKIV history. My current 6sp was one of the top higher powered cars at TX2K3 and TX2K4, when anything over 600whp was fast. But that is only in the states, not internationally. For comparison, the only cars that could be as easily modified were Terminator Cobras. Almost nothing else including Vipers were as dominant on the street. It was nearly unheard of to have an M3, S2000, NSX, or Porsche in those power levels. Internationally however, Supra's were mostly modified more for track and handling, including time attack and JGTC.

This is not an argument or a fact, but solely my personal opinion. If the C7 Z06 comes in manual, there's no reason IMO the new Supra couldn't have other transmission choices other than targeting the masses and profit. Additionally, I have tried the 991 turbo with a PDK and was very impressed.

As many currently see it, there's no other MKV Supra other than the 335hp / auto configuration. This is a new platform that many are still unfamiliar with so get ready to make these posts again and again princess if you get so worked up about not everyone staying up to date. When they do build this "GTMN", the discussions will change.

People really need to stop thinking there's only going to be one A90 trim

Well this should be common knowledge by now and they said a GRMN is coming. Insider information says ETA is 3 years from now.

That's generally the gap between a normal Porsche 911 Carrera to a Porsche 911 GT3/GT3RS. If you think about the GT2 RS the gap between that and a normal Porsche 911 Carrera is something along the lines of 4-5 years. You can make that comparison with the first Porsche Cayman GT4 and the other 981 Caymans. Another 3 year gap. It makes sense.

The GR Supra is gunning for the Cayman S but is reportedly faster than the GT4 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Imagine the GRMN.

Thanks for the info, news to me. Glad to hear they're working on what is hopefully a more powerful version with other transmission options.

 

[F1 Silver Arrows]

Absolutely. From what has been said in the forums, it should be guaranteed we get a stick with the GRMN, but we also want it with the GR Supra as well. This is the battle that we're trying to fight with Toyota.

I'm pretty pissed about four things.
1. The fake vents, like why the fuck are there fake vents?
2. The interior could have been spiced up a lot in my opinion (I LOVE iDrive so I am not complaining about that) and it is obvious it took some design elements from the FT1 and other Toyota/Lexus products, but it is still not enough.
3. Why is the the filter in NA when it isn't required? 382 horsepower would have been cooler not going to lie.
4. Give us the god damn stick please. We know the auto is good but the STIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK.

 

[HcNine-Six]

Eh... Probably going to get attacked for making this speculation but whatever

I am not sure if you all have seen other GRMN labeled iterations of other Toyota vehicles but I would not be expecting something groundbreaking.

Also, and I am sorry for not having an original source, but I do believe Tada-San mentioned planned upgrades for the vehicle would be able to be applied to "current gen" or previous models.

I genuinely think Toyota would consider switching to a different platform before laying down anymore serious horsepower... All speculation, though. I know members of this forum have mentioned otherwise some insane version coming out "soon" but I just cannot see it happening with what Tada-San has said and the way the GT86 (even the GRMN GT86) has progressed since 2013.

Just my opinion, though! Only time will tell. I am just excited to give it a shot!
