I hope Toyota watches these podcasts. That GR Corolla has so much potential as a daily, grocery getter rocket.
It was hilarious when they were describing the people that heavily mod their cars. Aka: the 350/370 Clapper Gang
“Cascading shit show of broken parts” ?

This is a camera illusion. I bet if he stands in front of the car it will look smaller. Most of these cars look smaller in person standing next to them.

Agree, these newer sports cars are setup for max efficiency from the factory. Usually an intake and cat-back exhaust only get you 1-2 whp gains. The biggest power adders are downpipes and a tune.
Its hard to justify $3K-$5K for 1-2 whp gains.

Impressive results for just a tune. That flat torque curve is promising. Just throw some 295/35R19 PS4S meats on the back and watch it pop wheelies. ?

Rev matching is a game changer for people just learning to drive a manual.
It would have saved me a $2K clutch job on my son’s tC. I’m glad to see it offered on new manual cars.

Everyone: this is why there is so much bad information these days.
@jaymes I don’t know who is feeding you this stuff but its grossly wrong.
The Turbo MKIV I went to go see at the dealership back in 1993 had an MSRP of $40K. In todays dollars that equals $82K. Where in the world do you see...
Wish I could vote on more than one. I drove a 280zx (s130) in high school so that would be my top choice. But a buddy had a 300zx (z32) in college and man was that a honey magnet. These are my top 2.

I’m not so into lowered cars but this one is clean. It looks really good on the white version.
I bet roof line is about elbow level now. The car isn’t that tall in person.

If anyone has the official p/n from
Nissan please share. I want to pickup a few badges myself.
It might be the closest to owning a Z I get at this point. ?

I agree the GR Corolla will be the hot ticket item. It checks so many boxes on my wants/needs list. I hope Toyota dials up production and we start seeing them at dealerships.
I don’t know if the Supra will be a distant 3rd. Regardless of it being a BMW partnership Toyota had a heavy hand in its...
Yes, in the Bothell area.
My Supra has about another month left before it goes into hibernation for 5 months.
After that the Tacoma and 4runner pick up the slack. It’s just not safe to drive RWD with all the hills.
