I dont remember when I signed up to get this but I obv must have . Was kinda cool just to get a random package.
I dont know how I feel about the new supra . I feel like toyota should have independently made all of the car or maybe used Yamaha to produce an engine for it for them.. I just feel for the price theres many other sports cars I'd rather have.
do you own a 2019 or pulling the trigger on a 2020 ? If so and you like this poster you can have it.

I love those 86s..too bad they aren't fast from the factory. There's one a few apt down from me, that hyper blue color and has the wing things on the fenders n stuff,its a very sharp car..when the time come for me to get another car it's going to be hard . My mini ,the way it is running now after the new crank pulley n belt tightened correctly. Omg ,this thing is a little troll ! Its going to be very very hard for me to find a car , at this price that performs this well. I got a hell of a deal on my car for the price I paid I feel. Then the few 100 I put into it has really woken it up.
I actually liked I think it was some kinda 2 seater alpha romeo I think a spider . That was my favorite new 2 little sports car that's new .

Most normally aspirated cars don't get much power with a tune but the 86's/frs/BRZ get very noticeable gains especially with header, exhaust and cold air intake. They are a favorite in SCCA street touring X autocrossers.

I’m not a Supra owner, but I signed up for one of those too. Going to hang it in the garage...

If if you're into highway pulls and crap like that they're about the same as a mini but if you're into autocross or going to the mountains they are fast they're constantly in top 10 at our local auto crosses and in the mountains it's tough to beat them.

On the racetrack I find my prepped mini a little bit faster but not much, these things corner as fast as a mini they just don't have as much speed on the end of a straightaway

Miss my 1982 Toyota Supra! That straight 6 and 5 speed manual were super smooth! Too bad the new ones are auto, just going to say no thank you. Manuals forever!

I like the new Supra, and 99% of the styling other than the dicknose. But that lack of a manual transmission is a deal breaker for me, just doesn't make any sense.

Just like the new C8 Corvette not offered as a Manual, doesn't make any sense either. I've never been a Corvette guy at all, no interest until I heard they'll no longer offer a Manual option, now I find myself looking at used ones and thinking a 7-speed Manual C7 or 6-speed C6 would be really fun.

Im not a big manual fan honestly. I do perfer a good auto anyday..but theres just some cars that are "drivers" cars and NEED to be offered in a manual..
like a mini cooper , I couldn't imagine driving an auto one and I think it would rob the car of what makes it special .

I understand where GM is trying to go with the Corvette, but it's still a deal breaker when I can afford one in 25 years. I'm watching C4 prices drop out, 92-96 with a 6 speed would be a fun car.

That is how I feel about most cars.
