I guess that makes sense. From all the negativity regarding the MKV being co-developed with the Z4 and how it's usually phrased as a "rebadged Z4" I got the mentality that it used an existing Z4 chassis.The new Supra/Z4 is not based on any existing chassis, that's the main point! It's an all-new platform designed from the ground up specifically for Supra/Z4 use, that's why it is capable of being exactly what the Chief Engineer wants it to be, completely independent of any existing platform from Toyota or BMW. That's also why the project was so expensive, ie. why the Toyota board decided to make this part of their BMW-Toyota partnership. I agree if Toyota was just using the old Z4 platform then they were much better off using any of their own existing FR platforms. And yes, I still wish it was an all-new platform made entirely by Toyota, but I also know that's not happening anytime soon.
And as far as just making the RC stiffer and better and it would magically work, c'mon guys you can't honestly just believe its that simple.
I need to see the MKV in person or at least it's final production form. From all the photage we have with the camo it makes the car look very underwhelming. Like a new gen 86, small, nimble and not at all threatening if you know what I'm saying.
I wish it was a bit more aggressive and dare I say bulky? That's why I have been wanting the RC/LC platform to be used.
