New (and old) SupraMKV members say hello!

[jmikes]

Hello All!
New guy here from North Carolina. Currently have a GR Corolla and just put a deposit down on a 2026 Prem 3.0 over the weekend. Waiting on the dealer to deliver the car.

Looking forward to reading and learning about this GR platform.

Welcome! (Soon)

Biggest piece of advise is to use the forum's search features to find answers to questions that get asked frequently (what oil to use, what mods to do first, ways to reach power goals, common problems, etc)

You'll like the Supra MUCH better. I considered a GR Corolla and did a test drive... didn't care for it as it felt cheap. Fast but cheap. The Supra is appointed so much better. Especially if you get the Bimmercode stuff and fine tune everything!

Long time Z owner(had 2 280z's, 1 300zx). Sat in a new Z, felt cheap and did not have enough leg room for me. It was the first Z I didnt fit in, although I admit I never sat in a 370z. Sat in a Supra and its the closest Ive come to the comfort and feel behind the wheel as my 1990 300zx. Bought a 26' Supra, MT. In the break in period now so I havent really got to push it, keeping it under 4k rpms for now.

Welcome P3 Ozman and SleepyMKV! I had a 370Z at one point. I think you will find that you made a good switch from the Z world.

Thanks! I am not switching...keeping the GRC for my track day car.

Hello from Indy.

I picked up my 22’ Prem 3.0 about a month ago in TX and got to enjoy driving it almost 1k miles home in the first 24 hours of ownership.

Car is basically stock aside from a set of springs, wheel spacers and a HKS BOV that the PO installed. So far I’m really enjoying the platform and looking forward to the potential.

Manual, now you know what it feels like to be fully connected to a car.

New guy here, been lurking for years though.
Getting a Supra has been on my mind off and on for years.
Finally made the move and picked up a 26 Stratosphere MT.
It was basically the last chance, so now or never!
Looking forward to getting through the break in period!

Hi all,

I'm back! I sold my 2023 6MT premium and bought a 2024 Z06 in October 2024. Missing a manual transmission, I sold the Z06 before it depreciated even more and bought a 2026 atmosphere 6MT base model. I thought it was a premium, drove 3 hours to another state, and saw it had alcantara seats. Quickly did research and found out the only thing I was really missing with it being a manual base with technology package was the HUD. After initially being thrown off, I ended up buying it anyway since it was the last new blue Supra in a reasonable drive from me. I really like the alcantara seats after having full leather in the 2023 and then in the Z06.

I miss the sound of the FPC on the Z06 and the fact the Z06 was a targa top but I swear the Supra is more fun more of the time. I'm obviously a diehard manual transmission fan and the Supra's power is more usable. The Z06 was stupid fast but the power was all up top so it didn't have that torquey feel to it like the Supra does. I'm not a great driver and even after going to the Spring Mountain driving school and having a Z06 on track, I would never get used to that thing's limits. The Z06 was also an absolute unit and massive in comparison and I really enjoy driving a car that is the Supra"s size. I have to break the Supra in first but it was fun being able to kick the back end around super easily and on command with the Supra. The Z06 has amazing traction and stability control systems but I was always anxious trying to do those little fun maneuvers in the Z06 with it being so big. It was also bright fricken blue (beautiful color though) and super loud so it was hard not to get spotted trying shenanigans and that ended up being a deterrent.

This is all to say that I'm glad to back! I see a lot has happened in the 20 months or so since I sold my 2023 Supra. The side benefit to this is I'll probably end up with a Type R or an Integra Type S as my daily and/or I'll start doing OEM+ mods to the Supra to keep the warranty intact for now.
