the 4 pot in the Supra will be about 230 or 240 hp, and with the extra weight will be same acceleration as Miata. So Miata coupe with longer wheel base
4 cylinder 370Z.
So, a new 240SX?
The current supply is pretty dried up since all of the drift bros keep slamming them into walls.
Sheet metal, steering (for the worse... the BMW steering feels more direct), suspension (the Supra is a super neutrally balanced car), diff and trans tuning, and several hundred million dollars to fund the development. BMW can thank Toyota for the Z4.
I’ve driven both. They may be the same chassis but they have two different personalities and are two distinctly different cars... The difference between Z4 and Supra is far greater than the difference between BRZ and 86.
Is the 86 pathetic because it’s a Toyota tuned Subaru? The differences between those cars are much harder to spot than the Z4/Supra.
This is what I hate about armchair car enthusiasts. Toyota were damned either way with this thing... at Least they’ve brought a niche car to the market for the people that could afford it. It may not be fantastic but it’s a really, very good car for $50k. I hate to break it to you... the Mk4 Supra isn’t anything to write home about either.
This. And you’re likely the only one with any seat time in either a Supra or a new Z4.
Actual here.
As the only published author in a well-known motorcycle publication in the room...
I keep wondering why they haven’t started drifting C5s yet.
Does that chassis lend itself well to drifting?
I honestly know nothing about drifting but it's certainly easy to slide around in and torque everywhere helps. Plus they're cheaper than a similar condition 240SX at this point

I miss my 240sx
pics
It was the third car I owned, traded in my 1987 Nissan Sentra in for it in 1997. Mine was a 1990 fastback in red with these wheels, virtually identical to these pictures minus including tinted tail lights (because I thought that was cool and it didn't cost me much), I changed the head unit and added a sub but basically stock. It really needed an LSD and 140hp was pretty underpowered or so I thought back then. Bucket/cloth seats and kind of enough space for an adult who was willing to straddle the drivers seat. Fast forward a few years, I went home with someone at a nightclub and my two buddies took it back to their place. That night it got rear ended and the frame got twisted but the insurance buy out was pretty good, enter 2000 VW Jetta 2.slow.
This is the best that I could do for pictures in a pinch...
They were nice to drive, light clutch, pretty decent build quality and simple. I think a 370Z might be in my future car buying plans, kind of a new age/improved version of the same thing for under 15k

I miss 2 door sport coupe hatches.
Where are these mangos?

I don't understand anything anymore.
l, rather than the 2.0-liter unit that powers the current WRX or the 2.5L found in the current STI.
According to the report, which cites an unnamed source close to Subaru, the company's engineers are hard at work beefing up the FA24 turbocharged boxer to coax 400 horses and 361 pound-feet of torque from an engine that currently offers just 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque in family-hauling tune.
Yeah that hood sucks. I would probably do more due diligence to get an unmolested version.
I am probably a couple of years away from anything like it. Gorf gets paid off and we will probably pickup a cheaper lease for Nicole, something like a 2020 Santa Fe which gets us a combined $700/month savings and gets us back to debt reduction. Right now we are just breaking even due to self-inflicted financial :seppuku:
I want something non-depreciating, light, and mid-engine and do autox and track events with it. I think this 2/3rds gets a person there for little money and effort. Gen2 MR2 is awesome and somewhat cheap as well but they are older.
My favorite idea is spending twice as much and picking up an Elise. In the end it's sold for purchase price so
