Nice..

How's the handling? Any floatingness?
The Zupra is great track car. Mine is a track toy and has been prepped as such. It handles very sharp and is laser straight and planted on straights. That was probably 140+ at the end of the back stretch

Conversely, while still kinda street legal it is no longer comfy to drive like it was when stock.

Great info. I ask because many Supra owners are running into handling issues, including myself. I heard Supras aren't meant to be slammed and can result in some issues such as the one I'm having.

The C8 probably was still in ā€œbreak in modeā€ and couldnā€™t rev it high. lol
No he is past break in and is actively seeking to destroy his ps4 so he can upgrade tires

Which exhaust / DP? Love that tone. Track looks like a blast as well - members track?

The 21 has no handling issues in stock form on the track - why this idea keeps perpetuating is a mystery to me. ā€œSlammingā€ anything is bad idea for suspension geometry in a high performance track setting, regardless of year or car to be honest ?

Catless dp. Stock exhaust. It has gotten louder and louder and louder over the dozen track days.
Whatever is happening- insulation getting packed or blown out? Guess running 5 20 min sessions hard at 6000 is moving doing something

Dominion Raceway has a circle ā€œnascarā€ track and this 2 miles road track. I am a member and we have 40 member days per year. Scca and some other groups and clubs have events as well as hdpe events
