BMW sucks!!! They lost their way in the late 90's. Period. Of course, corporate sponsorship won't allow mainstream periodicals to preach such truthful heracy. It's funny how the M2 has gotten so much praise but hasn't been compared to anything in its price range on a track. Every car has been compared except the M2. Everyone says it's the second coming of BMW. But where are track comparos to cars in its price range like the camaro 1LE, Mustang GT350, Porsche Cayman S, Corvette Z51, Audi TTS or Lotus Evora

You won't find any.... Why???

The media protects BMW for corporate cash.

How did BMW lose their way in the 90s, effectively paving the way for their suckage? I honestly would like to know your opinion.

this update is better composed than some of the new renderings Iv seen.

I approve of this update!

BlackZeda 03-08-2017 03:08 PM

Every time I see a Lexus RC out and about it looks shockingly good. A real head-turner IMO. If the Supra is even close to looking as good and is lighter then I will call it a win.

The M2 came in fifth or sixth place (dead last that is) on the latest, forgive my verbage on the exact title of the shootout.."Best drivers car you can actually buy; these arent $200K to $400K Hypercars that won the REAL best drivers car thingy..." Ok, so theres that. Its in Car and Driver, on my coffee table. They hated it. For what its worth. Car rags. Meh. Boxster S got 2nd (fastest Boxster ever, only SLIGHTLY behind a 991.2 911 S at 3.6 to 60mph). First place, Fiat 124...

I like the looks and concept of the Fiat 124, except for the fact that it is a Fiat... If I was in that market, I would go for the GT86 or Miata.

I dont know, I just cant want either the 86 or the Miata. I certainly like the Miata better too. Both are so much money for what you get, the 86 should be $23K, loaded, OTD. Aside from the "fun" handling (it is indeed fun, not fast fun, just fun), its an awful car. Further, Im in Florida, the back road canyon runs consist of a 3 degree 2 km sweeper over a landfill. Ill spend a bit more and have what fun I can getting pushed into my seat on the straights I guess.

'A Supra should be lighter than it’s rivals. Personally speaking, my favourite Porsche is the Boxster and Cayman, although I am a little disappointed with the four-cylinder engine. The Cayman helps a lot of us here to make a sports car.' :excited: :excited: :excited:

MR2, GT86, Supra: Toyota's three-strong sports car lineup is coming | Evo

Zerafian 03-12-2017 08:11 AM

back to the drawing board with that MR2. I guess the demographic is women and flamboyant gay men. They seem to be going for the early 2000s gen rather than the 90's
http://cdn2.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=f_WAPpNx

I am happy to hear they are separated the GT86 and the supra. Although, I dont like hearing them talk about them in comparisons. Leads me to believe they may have some similarities for some reason.

Well this is neither a GT86 or an MR2 thread, which I have no interest in either. They are speaking about how the Supra will be similar in that it will be lightweight with a low center of gravity which I am fully behind. Why would they make a GT86 and a Supra without any significant distinction? That doesn't make any financial sense especially since the Supra is being co-developed with BMW. Your cynicism is not appreciated and who gives a crap about the MR2.

BlackZeda 03-12-2017 11:46 PM

Again, this is not the GT86 or MR2 thread. I am pretty sure that no one in this forum is in the market for either.

Yeah, I just had to comment...I couldnt contain myself

BACK TO MORE SUPRA UPDATES!

These spy shots are getting me all excited...mostly because the even with the massive amount of camo panels covering it, the front and back ends reveal the aspects of the FT-1 that I like the most. See all the rivets? Those are panels covering the sexiness underneath them. It looks like the same size and proportions as a Z which means it has to be a true sports car layout.

Fck! I just can't wait to see it with out the camo... :shakes head: and see what are going to be the price range for that car...

i hope dey put some real tires on dere and not dat skinny flimsy wheel/tire set like da one they put on their lex RC.. :ugh:

YYZ 03-19-2017 08:29 AM

I just can't help but wonder. What if the current Z design was never produced by Nissan and Toyota used the design as the new Supra? Would they call it dated?

i think they would put sharper lines on the front bumper (like the current nismo) and sides, but besides this i dont think the Z's styling looks too dated..yet. the roofline is still modern so are the base sport wheels 09-12' and nismo wheels.

i never liked da 13+ base Z's front bumper and tornado wheels (including da 18's) so those would not make da cut. ;)

Agreed, the 370z still looks better than some newer cars today at any price range. Cleaning my z today and that rear quarter panel never gets old starring at it:yum:

UNKNOWN_370 03-20-2017 08:57 AM

Nissan better make one hot azz Z. Cuz my Puerto Rican blood might force me into a Supra? It's looking better by the week...

I can handle having a z34 parked alongside a new supra. What's the expected weight on these things?

:iagree:

The Nismo treatment takes this car to another level as well IMHO. The especially in black.

HAHAHA! our Puerto Rican blood like the fcking Toyota brand a lot :bowrofl: so I'm very interested to see this "Supra" finished :stirthepot:

UNKNOWN_370 03-20-2017 12:18 PM

Somebody rendered the supra from the camo car. Looks amazing!!! Let's hope?!

If Toyota didn't put maxed out turbos in this car like the Z will most likely have? We got a fvckin winner.

Our cars are dimensionally superior. The F type is hot but wayyy too fat. Jags are beautiful. I gotta throw in the AMG GTS. It's amazing looking in person.

Tuned downforce and ample cooling to the engine and brakes a la Formula 1 and Indy car looks bad to you? You don't like race cars? This is the first car that strongly incorporates both the look and the function of the front end from those superior road course corner-carvers and I love it (just as I love my NISMO splitter).

Hmmm, electric supercharger? I have a limited mechanical knowledge, but I would think that this would be advantageous in that it would be more efficient and less complex.

I think F1 cars are using electrically assisted turbochargers, or they were. I can't find any proof though.
