Well it's a little insulting. As some opinions/reviewers have been pointing out, the whole "ready to mod" thing is absolute BS. Toyota dismissed the use of braces in the engine bay (like the Z4...

Sounds like a similar case Randy Pobst was making for a 4cyl Camaro.

I get it, but I feel like if they're making a case for some shedded weight at the expense of power, might as well really...

Seen a few. It does make noise, and I'm so-so about that. I hate it when a car is not as fast as it sounds, but I geuss the Supra does make "the cut", especially now.

Skimming the MKV forums, sounds like there's an update to a 6-port (vs 2) exhaust manifold and the cylinder head is revised to accept it, but supposedly this has existed on other B58 engines already....

I've come across a CPO Z06 at right under $60k USD. Apart from GM's shoddy body panel alignment, that is just so much more car for the money.

That being said, if my current budget was in $50-60k,...

I was thinking Savagegeese was going to hate the thing because more times than not he rides the negatives of any car quite a lot. He's probably got the best review on the car so far imo, especially...

I'd totally be a sucker for this. Dream C8 turned into dream C8 Z06, and no idea how long out that's gonna be, so could very well imagine I could save and throw money elsewhere.

I'm in the minority who isn't into the whole crackle and pop sounds.

Race car, or legit powerful engine, cool. The Supra isn't a slouch, but I mean, it's a 3 liter I6.

Jackie bought another A90. Base model more suited for a build, but apparently he couldn't get it at the time.

Honoring the warranty has a lot of grey area, and realistically, if they didn't do a tune, or expose what they were doing with the car, dealer/Toyota would've been more inclined to fix this. It is...

After the dust has kinda settled from the C8 reveal, it was just a timing thing. People scratching heads about the Supra while the C8 came up with some mind-blowing claims (claims, so far).

It's honestly great that the Supra is showing out to be better than assumed. So far it's surviving anything being thrown at it (albeit in just this short month or so).

Still a weird place to be....
