👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

[starman]

Has anyone here driven a newer BMW manual?....they shift like $hit. No soul, rev matching up and down, snappy clutch.... I'll stick to my auto. (Never thought I'd say that after owning more than a dozen manual vehicles.)

THIS! I have never enjoyed BMWs manual (from my e36 M3 (added AKG short shifter for better feel) to my f87 M2).

I owned a newer Miata and drove my friends Civic Type R (both these cars have amazing shifting feel from the factory)

My old BMW M2 manual was my LEAST favorite manual car i've owned. There was a huge clutch pedal engagement gap (though there was a cheap fix for this), the transmission hated it when you shift too quickly, and the throws are long which didn't feel like a sport car; of course a short shifter would probably solve that issue out.

Now I will say, if Toyota does indeed go through for a Manual Supra, then I give kudos to them for listening to their (potential) customer base. I'm sure some wouldn't mind taking a financial hit to trade up either.

.....but i'm just saying, if it's anything like the M2, some here may be disappointed in the factory feel of the clutch\stick. Again, an aftermarket short shifter kit would remedy this though.

The very few manuals that are out there, are less and less what everyone who wants one claims to crave.

Meaning the raw control.

They hold on hills, rev matching. I mean, you are almost at paddles by that point anyway.

My friend's GT4- which is an almost perfect car rev matches for you. No more heel toe! So those who claim to have race car driver skill because they push a third peddle really aren't!

just saying

I stuck a "Save The Manual" car decal on my box of owner's manuals.


Okay no one asked me.. never mind.

370z also has rev match. Haven't driven it too much to know if you can turn it off. Can you on GT4?
Porsche MT are brutal. Clutch super heavy.

Anyone else noticed how the interior was redone to accommodate the stick? It looks like that bar piece is either gone or has been pushed way back.

I wonder if all Supras will get the redesign interior or will it be exclusive to the manual model.

I don't remember if this has already been posted or not.

Newsflash….it has nothing to do with speed.

EDIT: yes you can disable Rev match on GT3/4
Have driven on the street, back roads and the track. It is typical Porsche perfection.
Believe the rev matching is an attempt to smooth and speed up mechanical shift action by the driver.

since it wasn’t my car I was concentrating on turns and braking speeds too more to really play with it

I'm guessing February.

The Daytona 500.

IIRC, this has been the timing of the Supra press releases in the past few years
