LS and LC had mostly negative responses, because they are both half assed efforts by half assed company. The Supra should do well since most BMW coupes do very well (probably better than any other brand's coupes), and the legendary Supra name is an added bonus.

Z4 sold horribly thats why they partnered with Toyota to save $$$ sonce they know it will sell in small #s.

The only 2seater that sells decent is the Vette and they have discounts of $15-20k on them....

now come on why would I say that if it weren't true... you also need the driver mod to get the most out of the z06
You inferred stock. Drag radials are not stock. DA of -2000 ft and a very good driver. This is not a typical run

well that's just one video i chose out of others i've seen, would drag radials actually account for a full second difference? and either way all they do is allow the car to reach it's potential, also a car only needs to go 10.999 once and it's technically now a 10 second car forever however atypical it may be

can we just agree that the C6 Z06 is very fast lol... i'm starting to think maybe you lost to one in your viper haha

0-60 3.8 and 12.3 @113 mph is impressive for a 335 crank HP car that weighs 3372 lbs. Sounds like it's very underrated.

It's tradition for Toyota to lie about power output.

Those are some impressive numbers. I still don't think it sells well, but we will see.

Definitely the case here if they were able to get those times.

Time will tell, anyone buying the actual Z4 wants a vert with a slight bump in power but considering the MKV is 700 lbs lighter and 15K cheaper I think it's the better bang for the buck unless again buyers really want a vert.

Stock for stock. That is impressive. The car wasn't even on my radar, but I imagine with a little bit of bolts on, u could break 11s on the 1/4 easy.

so as per the C/D article, the zupra is about 4 mph faster in the 1/4 mile and 3 seconds quicker from 0-150... i imagine basically all of that advantage comes from the first few seconds where the quick shifting 8 speed auto easily beats out a 6MT, and the bigger discrepancy between the times and the speeds shows that

therefore back to my original statement... it's pathetic that if the zupra with a fat driver pulls up on the highway next to a 26 year old supra with a skinny driver, the result will be basically neck and neck

Still not a fan but those are some seriously impressive numbers.

I saw an old Supra today, actually.. I couldn't tell if it was a turbo or not bc the car was black and dirty where the "turbo" badge is on the old ones.

not all turbo ones actually have the turbo badge, the wheels are different though


i'm not a fan of the no wing though, like seeing an evo with no wing... the car just looks kind of incomplete

Is that so? I swear I thought they were identical except for the sleeper badge. Why wouldn't all of the turbos not be labeled as such?

I'm indifferent about the wing, looks good either way.

Miata does well, and so do all Porsche modes considering their price point. Of course the Supra wont be a high volume car, but I'm sure it will do decent for what it is.

Definitely, I would be curious to see what it does with just different tires out back and no other mods.

Chances of running into a bone stock MKIV is slim to none these days ha ha, all the bone stock ones are now collector/garage queen status. Full torque comes in at 15/1600 rpms on the MKV that's very impressive meaning a good power range but it's 11:1 compression so expected. I would love to see a rwhp dyno on a bone stock MKV, no way it's 335 crank which is around 255 at wheels.

I don't think all were labeled turbo from factory/dealer it may have been an option. My 95 Supra was originally NA so left it that way only has Toyota emblem no Toyota or Supra script. Took my OEM wing off and run aftermarket duck bill style wing wanted something a little different.
