I read about a survey recently sent to BMW drivers and the majority of them had no idea what engine (amount of cylinders and size) their car had!

Ha.... you rested my case on electric steering and handbrake rants. That's why I see our current Z's as the best cars on the road. Real handbrake. Real feedback, real handbrake. Real handling capability.

No assistance, no ********. VDC for stability under harsh conditions. Awesome car. I'd love to see Nissan with a new design, new engine, flatter stock handling, but everything that made this Z hot.

So I was reading about the Toyota Mirai just because I am an inquisitive guy and found some interesting tidbits that MAY be of great benefit to the upcoming Supra and GT86.

http://www.compositesworld.com/news/...y-carbon-fiber

http://www.autonews.com/article/2013...on-fiber-foray

On the flip side, if Toyota were making their own carbon fiber, why the hell don't they use it in the Lexus RC-F???

2020 Toyota GT86 And Subaru BRZ Replacements Expected To Receive Hybrid Tech - autoevolution

Toyota may ruin the GT86 with a hybrid setup for 2019 instead of just GOING TURBO!!!

BOOOOO!!!! Japan is weakening!!!

**** hybrid. If the Z stays as analog as our cars, just with a streamlined infotainment system in the family of the Alfa Giulia, keep hydraulic steering, keep the hand brake, save a minimum of 200 real world pounds and lower the center of gravity with a futuristic retro look and the q50/60 sport engine.... The Z will be undefeatable as an overall sports car.

Build it dammit!!! BUILD IT!!!!

If you're right? I'd die laughing at every Toyota owner around the world. They been calling this thing a Supra since the 20!3 FT-1 concept.
