Hah! Now there is a nail to bash on the head a few more times!!!
Along the lines of the discussion, one of the most intriguing things of late in these cars was the Supra putting down a better time at Laguna than the M2C at the hands of Randy Pobst, and that was a launch edition before they did the upgrades. You lose the rear seats, and are stuck with an auto-box, but great value, and lots of BMW bits  . |
The supra was on 255/275 vs 245/265 which id wager accounted for a lot of the difference.
The supra is a weird car in that it's aimed at enthusiasts; but doesn't come with a manual. I suspect Toyota has a manual trans version up their sleeve. Combine that with sorted rear suspension and a solution for the wind buffeting and it becomes a very attractive proposition, I'd certainly take it over the price equivalent 4 cylinder Cayman for the engine alone. The B58 particularly in 380bhp guise is a quality motor. |
Sounds like they want to update the Supra every year to keep it interesting so I'm sure MT is coming as well as other upgrades.
