I like everything you said. The torque was the very BEST …. I love torque.
Dumping the clutch, chirping the tires in 2nd, hubs saying…uhmmm, how fast are you going? Lol
Not emotionally attached to the Vette so maybe in a year or so….

Sharks are nuts.

I dont know how a person cant be emotionally invested in a 'vette.. its like the perfect car.:icon17:

Bro

Same here.

I lost his number and frosts info so no way to kit

:p:bowrofl::happydance:

Financially vested. Only mildly involved emotionally. Lol

understood.:tup:

Now, me and Harry? That was a fully invested emotionally connected full blown love fest. Lol:happydance:

I'd be surprised if the z is still around in a couple of years, but who knows. They managed to put this out on a shoestring budget so maybe they break even. When I went to drive it, there was a line around it, so the interest is there. I just hope they kill it for good before they either team up with someone else or gasp, make it an EV/hybrid. 🤮

EW or JarBlue, or anyone that was there, please kindly provide the name of the ice cream place :tup:

Kin folk! It's hot outside! Stay hydrated! :iagree:

Yes, a 370Z, from '09 to '20 Z, and a black cherry color.

Believe me, you are not missing out even seeing it in person. I saw one on the streets a few months back (pic posted) and it's does NOT have the "wow" factor.

Yeah, there is no beauty in my eye when I beheld the new Z.

IMO, I'm a huge fan of the HR 350Z and 370Z, and should have blended those two together for the new Z.

I can't believe it took Nissan this long to revamp the CSC issue.

Well said sir :iagree:

At least it looks like a Z. Not like a Toyota that looks like a BMW.

As far as the csc, I'm not sure they "fixed" it. They moved it outside the bell housing which certainly makes it easier to service, but I believe it's still the same plastic POS that are ticking time bombs. Could be wrong though.

Before Toyota techs can wrench on the new Supra, a $50K sports car, they must be certified to work on them. With a powertrain and electronics from BMW, Toyota techs must learn the ins and outs of a new vehicle architecture. In other words, they must be Toyota techs who happen to know a lot about the BMW Z4.

Apparently, the Toyota techs at one particular Oregon dealership near BMW of Salem aren’t certified to work on the new Supra yet.

According to this BMW tech with a Supra problem on his hands,

“Toyota just advised me it only needs a battery. Someone left a light on. If they (new Supras) run dead, a full charge and/or replacement is required. “

You’d think changing a battery on a simple Toyota would be easy-peasy, swap in a new one and you’re off. I thought so too until I read the official Toyota Supra manual.

When swapping in a new battery into the Supra, because it’s designed by BMW you must,

Use an OEM battery. If not, you’d better be sure it’s compatible with the Supra because the wrong battery can, “damage vehicle systems and impair vehicle functions.”

Register the battery with the Toyota dealership. If not, comfort features won’t be available.

And, as mentioned, if you’re not Supra certified, you can’t even swap in a simple battery. I assume since the Supra has a BMW engine, BMW specific software like ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application) interfaces with the new Surpra, something a non-Supra certified dealership won’t have.

To contrast, here’s what it takes to put in a new battery in the 2020 Toyota Corolla. Long story short, Toyota pretty much says, “make sure it fits in the battery tray.”

Yea, good luck with all that. :iagree:
