Stop saying 400Z... I can’t be a 400Z unless it has a 4.0 Liter engine.

“when Toyota should have infinite resources (compared to these companies) doesn’t make sense.”
Throw in a Mr Fusion to power it all and you’ve got a worldbeater!
Yeah, the baby Supra might be a tough sell against a 260hp 86 - which can be had with 3 pedals.
Yeah, it’s not a terrible idea. Air water intercooler would help quite a bit. 6PSI tune. Though TBH, The main issue everyone had w/ the FA20 was the midrange torque dip.
Haha. “Wait, why are the head gaskets on the routine maintenance schedule?”
Wouldn’t it be a pilot who handles the ship through the canal, and not the captain?
Ew.
What I haven’t understood is why not add a small supercharger? It could be tuned for the immediate, linear feel free of lag. Yeah MPGs would go down but its a sports car ffs
Sounds like a recipe for a low volume car (<10K per year) that will be cancelled soon ☹️
This GIF is wonderful. Long enough for me to get an idea of what’s going on, form an idea about how it’s going to go sideways, and then be amused when my guess was wrong. I really got the full three-act experience in about four seconds.
Exactly. One of the world’s smallest car companies find a way to make a small, lightweight, inexpensive sports car that has sold well for 25+ years. But a company that is something like 100x bigger has to find a partner to make a competing vehicle? This doesn’t compute.
Like “A BMW”, sure I’ll give you that. Hard to escape that feeling with the all BMW interior and engine. On the other hand, all the reviews I’ve read indicate the Supra differentiates itself significantly in the way that it drivers compared to the Z4. The latter feels more like a grand tourer while the Supra is a…
That’s a great idea but they likely are too far along to fit all that extra kit on the platform.
They could try lifting it and putting some black plastic cladding on the wheel wells, I hear that’s pretty popular.
Realistically the main things they can do are to alter the suspension tuning (much like the first generation) and maybe have a slightly different differential that locks more aggressively. Engine tuning and changing gearing sound like big investments for little discernible reward, as it’s unlikely that Subaru have…
At least 50 ships a day pass through the canal, according to the canal authority,
