Thank you! I am loving my Supra, but I definitely can see a world where the C7 ended up being the car for me.

Not a bad idea. The problem i have is most performance electric cars sold today are just faster versions of sedans, would love to see a true electric sports car in the near future.

That's correct, you can use the new generation Subaru or Toyota part number.

Don't ruin my dreams! 😂 but in all seriousness it is interesting that outside of Germany the autobahn isn't very well understood. I'd wager a lot of Americans think the autobahn is one road that has no speed limit anywhere, and you pretty much need to be a car nerd to know it's a whole highway system where the only no limit areas are out in the open areas

there's giant portions of desert highways with no cops in some states, they say it's 75 MPH, but most people are doing 90+

I agree most highways get the speed limit ignored up to a certain point, but there's nowhere you can drive at 110+ knowing you won't be pulled over. That's what's really different about the autobahn I feel

Survival of the fittest when the Altima barrels down on you at 120 mph 😂

I agree. Even basic "stay right unless to pass" highway etiquette isn't really followed by a lot of US drivers which would not mesh too well with 100+ mph...

I want to dispute this, I really do, but I can't cuz it's true. In 2020 when the disease hit, everyone who applied immediately got their license with none of the formal classes and training that were usually required. I have never been more pissed at the government than when I learned that.

Which ratio do you mean? As in front/rear power split? L/R power split is handled independently for the front and rear sets of wheels since both front and main transmission have their own diff

I'm somewhat of the opposite. I think the term "supercar" is now moreso concerned with crazy exotic cars that might not be as good on a track. Like a 488 would be considered a supercar but it might lose to a Z06 on track.

@@autolyticYeah, just look at the Lamborghini lineup until the Huracan came along, most of them were cool, fast in a straight line, but handled poorly compared to Ferraris, Porsches, etc. They were Italian exotic muscle cars essentially.

@@autolytic fair enough. i guess there's not really a perfect metric for when a car becomes a supercar, so 200 mph is as good a qualifier as i can think of. and faster than I'd ever want to go in a car.

Those things are sweet. Wish it came with a manual though, only offering an unreliable 4 speed auto was certainly a choice...

@@autolytic Subaru tested manuals they had access to during it's day, didn't last long during testing. Kept eating clutches if I remember correctly, even during the most gentle of driving. Something like 5-10k miles, which is unacceptable. Nowadays you can just shove an WRX transmission in it and call it a day, but at the time of it's design the SVX was the most powerful car Subaru had ever made in mass production. (Debuted at the Tokyo Auto Show in "89, released in 91, a year before the first WRX was released.) By the time they had better transmissions, they were already pulling the plug on the SVX due to lackluster sales because of it's high price tag of $36k (Almost $85k in today's money!)

@erwinramen6089 It's just weird for me to think of Subaru without the WRX.. feels wrong. But hooollly I didn't know they were so expensive 😭 no wonder it didn't sell very well

I don't know... I think I might know that those got released quite a while ago 😅

Agreed, I think the shape of these 2 really solidified what a Corvette should look like all the way to the C8

To be fair.. when does it not look like one? 🤔

@@autolytic true

I agree. I think coils are fine even if you want your car really low, but if you get into scraping on a slightly bumpy road territory I'm seeing no way that bags aren't the better option..aside from cost I suppose

Easy route tho, part of the fun is being hard core about it instead of not just driving it at parking height, that's not a commitment imo and it takes away from the stance, if you're not dumb low all the time your car isn't low ita just parked

​@@autolyticthe thing is lack of commitment. it's like a sleeve tattoo vs a tattoo looking sleeve you're trying to live the life without commitment. it's one of the worst trends in automotive other than probably squatted trucks.

You're right, interesting. Seems like you can either run it as a T-top or a fully removed targa top. Pretty neat

😂 about to hit the blue screen of tuning

I think custom tuning has its place for less supported platforms/more unique builds, but OTS tuning is a great way to have a safe and proven power bump without needing to dyno/log. It's become a lot easier to buy an OBD reader and flash at home which also hurts custom tunes

stage 3 right gotta have upgraded cams, rods, lines, even the block itself

😂 Miata is always the answer I suppose...
