Double the balance!p.s-At least we have 2 cup holders now.
Sure, you screw up your toe it will eat your tires. Whats your point?not sure if serious ...?
its running full slicks, those are designed for at least -3degs of camber, otherwise you will wear the outside unevenly, regardless of the suspension type. heck even F1 cars run -3.5deg's.
without diving into kinematics; not all MacPherson struts are equal, same goes for double wishbones. The actual Camber curve is what matters, as there are like a billion factor controlling camber gain/loss on bump and in steering. some MacPh's are REALLY intelligent (FK8 Type R!)
"Don't let them tell you double wishbones are unnecessary" ... tell that to Porsche LOL. Cayman (like most Porsche's!) upfront is MacPherson, Mazda 6's front axle is a double wishbone, you can guess which was better camber curve.
p.s.: wrong Toe alignment causes tire wear to a much greater magnitude than camber.
And still, those "later" Supras are not really considered to be the pinnacle of handling right?I would love to have double wishbones, its one of the best technological advancements Toyota brought to the later Supras.
If VLN is anything to go by, it corners like butter!And still, those "later" Supras are not really considered to be the pinnacle of handling right?
While I agree with you in general terms (double wishbones > mac struts), often people get too hung up on general design terminology, while the real focus should be implementation: a properly engineered mac strut will beat a mediocre double wishbone setup every single time, for less money. Also, there are so many other factors determining final handling characeteristics (weight, polar moment of inertia, COG, etc) on which Toyota does seem to have invested significantly.
At this point, IĀ“m pretty sure we will get a really great handling car, much better than any previous Supra. Mac struts included. We shall see.
Considered to be, and actuality are two different things. I agree with most of what you say, but Mk4s at the very least handle pretty damn well.And still, those "later" Supras are not really considered to be the pinnacle of handling right?

Huh? It screams BMW...which to me is a little sad.I am loving the center console area, definitely FT1 inspired
Me being one of the few BMW fan boys of the group, disagrees with thatHuh? It screams BMW...
