2018 Toyota Supra

I wouldn't knock the 86/BRZ. It may not have huge numbers when it comes to HP, but I rode in a BRZ for a track session, and in the curves the thing was amazing. The C6 Z06 behind us was able to catch up on the straights, but was hapless when the corners came up. Of course the driver was an instructor, so that is 90% of the difference there.

I am dying to see the final production Supra so I can start figuring out which custom wheels will look the best on it.

Put Prius tires on anything fairly light n RWD n you'll get the same result. There's no science to a toyobaru.... it's kool they exist but I'm not going to bed wondering if I have to race a brz tomorrow on a track. Lol.

For what it is, I do appreciate it a lot, and glad that it exists like you. Let's hope that Toyota isn't conservative when it comes to the Supra's engine options like they were with the BRZ/FRS.
