THIS Is the Manual Toyota Supra [Official Release]

Too bad it's not a traditional handbrake

I wonder why Toyota did not make it with traditional handbrake instead…

Also very curious as to what exactly they changed with the suspension for "improved roll balance", roll bars, bushings, spring rates?

Same. I wonder how much of this is software vs hardware-based. I'm sure the hardware-based stuff we can just slam on the older models.

I doubt suspension is software based. Adaptive dampers can only do so much. I bets its retuned spring rates and probably improved bushings.

Most answers will boil down to them saving money, And I get that. I guess we'd have to accept it as is & be happy they even offered manual after all these years.

It's BMWs fault Toyota wanted it from day 1 just FYI.

If it's springs and bushings that would be fantastic. This thing seems to have a real lack of roll stiffness in autocross/track settings in stock form.

Who knows really.. but seems redundant to add a traditional handbrake at this point of the Supra lifecycle

This is the first I’m hearing about that. Heard supra engineers though the manual will ruin the car.

You guys just got a sweet manual release with extra goodies and you’re arguing about the stupid eBrake that no one uses. FFS!!

Nope. If you want the truth ask me anything

Here we go. (not you necessarily, OP... just sayin')

- I would have bought a Supra if it was manual
- I would have bought a manual Supra if the Pedals were further apart
- I would have bought a manual Supra, but it has too much traction control software
- I would have bought a manual Supra, but markups!
- I would have bought a manual Supra, but I was expecting it to come with a Steve Morris Engine
- I would have bought a manual Supra, but no real e-brake!!!!!

I'm just going to keep adding nonsense bullshit as we go here.

Remember to add the Targa top. All the 505 credit score boys are talking about it

Someone I know after talking about the car today said they were excited until they saw the Reverse location on the stick.

I was like ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

As for the ebrake thing you guys said, it's funny because I never have even had to use the Parking brake in the year I've owned it. They must wanna attempt to drift their way into the Salvage thread.
