Like they said…the 86 is not in the same leagueThought the GR86 was supposed to be in this comparo - maybe that will be a second review? I don't care about the Supra, it's priced out the wazoo here and its severely limited outward visibility would have it off my list anyways.
Near tale end of video: "The GR86 is a much more drivers car feel for sure."Thought the GR86 was supposed to be in this comparo - maybe that will be a second review? I don't care about the Supra, it's priced out the wazoo here and its severely limited outward visibility would have it off my list anyways.
Maybe not in terms of street amenities or brute power but to be within 2 seconds of the Z on that track with a car down about 150 hp is pretty amazing, even they say it's a purer driver's car. I wrote the above comment before watching, now I have I was quite struck by the race driver's positive review of the GR86's handling. (But until Toyota get that silicone sealant breakoff issue resolved I would not be a buyer.)Like they said…the 86 is not in the same league
I don't think any reasonable Z enthusiast ever said that.so vr30 looks even worse on dyno... zupra killer huh
Kudos on the vid lads.
Can someone more knowledgeable in the matter than I, explain to me why Toyota/BMW settle for the advertised 382HP when it's substantially higher?
What's the thought process behind that?
Pretty full on hearing the Supras power plant being pushed to 650hp without a sweat broken but anything over 550hp for the Z (I'll have to rewatch to confirm) being a gamble as old mate Tuner said.
But the Supras visibility and liveability in general don't do much for me. Nor does the disconnect as far as driver input and vehicle response.
Still feeling the Z is the go. I'm no pro driver and achieving results at the very boundaries of performance just won't apply to me personally.
