Traded in my 2.0 Supra for GTR

[GMErica]

I made a huge mistake and I'm fucking devastated. I traded in the wrong Supra. At first glance, I thought I made the right choice keeping my A91MT because it was a manual and I didnt think I would ever miss the 2.0.

I was able to do so much more in the b48, hard corners, constant redlines, not to mention I could downshift the fuck out of it at every red light and I STILL got 26mpg.

With the A91 its allegedly 200 lbs lighter than the GTR and I dont feel it one bit. The 2.0 and 3.0 is roughly 220 lbs lighter and I can feel every fucking pound its lighter.

I still beat up on the a91 but its not the same. Im getting 18mpg but Im not even getting half the fun I did with the 2.0. My GTR has similar gas mileage as the A91 (13-14mpg) and its waaaay more fun to drive than the a91(and launch).

For all of you folks thinking of upgrading to the 3.0... unless you want a manual Supra, dont make the switch. Its NOT worth it. Theres better cars (m2, used911) for the same price point and you wont even see a noticeable upgrade. The 2.0 Supra is fucking special and I will soon be joining back with you my b48 fam!

At first I thought this was a troll post. I checked your post history or thread history rather and seen you made a thread on your highly modded 2.0 that you're comparing to a stock 3.0?

Also your title is wrong as you're making it sound like you traded the 2.0 for a GTR unless you're saying you had a 2.0 and 3.0 then traded the 2.0 out for a GTR? Your whole post is wildly confusing not to mention the fact you didn't even say anything about your modded 2.0 you're comparing to a 3.0

Added OP's build thread

I had both the 2.0 and 3.0. I traded in my 2.0 because I originally wanted to keep the manual. Also the 2.0 wasnt really modded too much, i was comparing the just stock 2.0 vs 3.0.

What a door knob.

I’ve been considering getting a R35 in addition to the Supra. How are your R35 impressions so far for canyon carving and hard cornering?

Just to be sure so others know that your mod list is accurate and unchanged from your build thread

If you are getting 13mpg out of a 3.0 manual, then you must be reckless driving everywhere for no reason... Having owned both Ill still take a 3.0 supra everyday over the R35.

My v6 ecoboost is much more fun than the gt350 or Mach 1.

Don't make the switch! It's not worth it guys.

I love everything about the R35, my only complaint is I wish it was a little lighter in weight. The launch control on this car so immaculate you get a perfect launch every single time. As far as handling this thing is an absolute beast on the canyons! I havent hard cornered it(yet) because Im a little scared of the power gassing out the turn.

Overall, amazing vehicle and much better daily driver/comfort than the Supra. I can lean my seats back and take a nap in my car during lunch finally.

I just went to my first track weekend a few weeks ago and obviously pushing the car near it's limit the entire time I drove it I was getting about 8-8.5mpg. I absolutely agree with your statement

Im getting 18-20 currently in my supra, it hasnt even touched 6th gear yet. I only use 5th when on freeway.

In the end, you do you fam this wasnt meant to be a GTR vs Supra post. I have both and I love both, I just wish I traded in my 3.0 over my 2.0.

Yeah I'm not a conservative driver by any means and I often feel like I should dial it back a bit. I get 24mpg.

Isn't it annoying driving at 4k rpm on the freeway?

Mate, your car must have been a lemon, assuming you bought brand new, what kind of break in did you do? I'm getting average 26 - 27 MPG (US) (8.5 - 8.9 l/100km on 95 premium in Australia) fuel economy, that's combination freeway/street driving with occasional hard acceleration for fun, I don't drive the tits off the car every gear change. The computer is saying my average since I bought the car brand new is 26.7 MPG or 8.8 l/100km (that's including break in). No way you are getting 16 l/100km without doing something stupid.
