2023 MANUAL Toyota Supra Quick Review // About Time

[@MisterSkizzels]

The new M2 is going to be almost 3900lbs! (1769kg), compared to the Supra which is ~3300 (1496kg). The Supra is the best BMW Sports car you can buy now, hands down.

"The Supra is the best BMW Sports car you can buy now" Probably true and at the same time sooo sad how such a great brand has destroyed itself. BMW, not Toyota. 😉

The CU Later Gray paint is named in reference to the periodic table symbol for copper (Cu), because this is a BMW paint colour called Sparkling Copper Grey. CU Later has metallic copper flakes in it, and it's supposed to shine like gold under light. Similarly, the Supra's also new Stratosphere Blue is BMW's Portimao Blue, borrowed from the BMW M3.

[@treaves2175]

Wow. That colour name went from stupid to pretty cool real fast with this explanation. Thank you!

​@@treaves2175 Personally, it's still stupid, but the really fun kind of stupid that I can't help but appreciate. Just like the GR 86's punny "Track bRed" paint

[@avipillai1584]

I think the “Cu Later” refers to the fact that Copper ages over time into a green-blue gray. Pretty clever name if that’s what they were doing.

[@AisuruMirai]

James had the name wrong. It's "CU Later Gray," not "Cu Later." I, for one, don't think that they would name a car color after oxidized metal that is a completely different color than the car's paint.

[@dannyd7714]

CU is the name of the element Copper

[@matthenderson]

Clever fellow

[@erouse91]

I think hes right with the oxidized copper thing. If you see it in sunlight, there is a hint of copper in the fleck. Anyone go get a penny that is clearly old and look at the color. It's pretty spot on

[@usonumabeach300]

@@dannyd7714 technically "Cu" is copper. "CU" is a molecule of 1 carbon and 1 uranium. Lowercase letters are important when talking elements. The only thing my google-fu could find regarding a single of each atom is a novel bond scientists have been able to create which has a very weak bond (which means it's not a stable molecule) and is called uranium methanide, but it's UC, not CU. What little I recall from chemistry in highschool 24 years ago along with Google makes this an important distinction, but I don't remember WHY.

[@SlickSniper3]

They refined the steering and handling quite a bit. Owners from the previous years have gone onto the 2023 and report both on track and street that the steering changes have made the car more communicative of what the front and back end are actually doing. Suspension is more composed and doesn't snap oversteer. I'd love to see you guys take a 2023 onto the track, either automatic or manual and see for yourself. I myself moved from a 2020 AT to a new 2023 Automatic and live near TMP if you guys want to try.

Nice brief review, now let's get a full one and get this thing on the track! There's supposed to be more changes (suspension tuning) outside of just the added manual.

[@orbitaljunkie]

We really need a manual transmission hierarchy chart. I've had three manual bimmers and the shifter feel is always spongey. Honda has great manuals. A Mazda MX-5 (NC) has probably my favorite shift feel.

[@iamthelaw69]

They all feel overly notchy, and not very good feedback unless you punch the shifts with the force of a semi truck. I didn't know what I was missing until I tried the Miata ND's shifter. I don't understand why others won't use Mazda's shifter as reference. It's so good, can't be that hard to replicate.

[@pkennethv]

​@@iamthelaw69 I don't know this for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Miata's shifter feel (which I have driven) was helped tremendously by the fact that it doesn't have to be built to deal with very much torque (seeing as it is a bespoke transmission only used in the Miata). It's basically only half the torque of the Supra/B58. Kind of like how the entire Miata in general has great feel/feedback because it isn't burdened with all the reinforcement & burliness needed to deal with huge horsepower or weight.

I've been auto-crossing my 2020 Supra all summer and honestly I think that's why I disagree when I hear people say it's a little unpredictable in the corners. My first event in it was in the wet and all I did was slide around the track (yes it was that rare auto-cross on an actual road course) the entire time. It was a perfect chance to learn where the car is at it's limits and I've not had any issues knowing where it was going since. It was a powerful experience to say the least and it gave me so much confidence in the car. In a perfect world we would all get to do this and learn what our cars actually are capable of. That's not to say it isn't tail happy, because it can be. Coming from someone who is used to lift off oversteer from hooning FWD cars (I'll always be a Honda kid) the simple answer is to learn to throttle your accelerator instead of letting go completely. 👍

[@Denverian]

A lot of old car drivers seem cannot get along with electric steering, period. I love electric steering and it takes all the hassles of analog steering that I don't have to deal with no more. I can sorta understand it being "numb", but I still get road and tire feelings from the body. I think it's just a shift in paradigm and olddies just can't appreciate the new tech on the road.

$72k sounds like a lot for a Supra, but it's fully loaded. The absolute cheapest Cayman with a 4-cylinder engine starts at $75k. The Cayman GTS4.0 that you actually want starts at $103k and probably lacks a bunch of amenities that are included in the Supra.

Honestly the new Toyota gr Supra is getting better already with the manual transmission is so nice already

As you can see from my channel I love the first e85 gen z4 and now supra got the closest since 2004 design, performance.. gearbox . Best BMW since 2003!

Poor Z. Never going to live up to expectations.

[@runner3033]

I get the feeling that the people who complain about the Z aren't the people who are going to buy a Z new off the lot. Nissan knows what they're doing, and who their customer is. What will kill it however, is not being able to get enough of them out, and the consequent dealer mark-ups. I'd buy a Z, but I'm sure as shit not going to get bent over by a dealer.

I was interested, but I prefer NA engines and my vehicle HAS to be a convertible.

[@runner3033]

@@fortheloveofnoise By insisting on those 2 things, you have put yourself into a numerically insignificant customer segment where it doesn't help a company in Nissan's current state to service. Enjoy your 370Z or Miata, I guess...

The car everybody loves to hate-on even though it's got one of the best platforms for the price. No? Let me explain: Unlike the M2, it's not based on a commuter car. don't take my word, quoting BMW themselves when they invited Tada-san to engineer a sports car with them: "none of the M cars is actually a ground up sports platform" (none..) bespoke platform means over 44,000 nm/deg torsional rigidly; proper wheelbase length and track widths (that weren't sacrificed for rear leg room or cargo space) CoG and engine position among others. All Mandated by Toyota; BMW wanted a new i8 hybrid kinda car and the Japanese weren't playing game. Plus that's a ZF manual transmission, BMW doesn't make transmissions.... -_-, which is ridiculous since everybody in turn calls the Auto the "ZF"....??? Going on, Unlike the 350/370/newZ it's a 2020's car not a 2000's one; so all the platform traits above are way worse in the nissan in an unfixable manner. Unlike Any Cayman it has 5 way multilink rear suspension and not MacPherson pogo sticks. The ex-F1 Enginner, Jay O'Connell made a multilink kit for Caymans for this very reason and he did the technical measurements if anybody is intersted in roll center migration, camber and toe curves. And that makes a big difference; Porsche uses 5 way multilink in the 911's for a reason (and they almost deserve a Nobel Prize for giving the 992 gt3 front double wishbones from their race cars, I digress.) The result? Jackie Ding was a fractions of a second behind a fricken GT2 RS in the last grid life round. But yeah it's a BMW LOLOMGFTW........meh Don't give a damn about badges, am passionate about and highly respect excellent engineering. And I find it VERY annoying to dismiss the work of Gazoo Racing's Japanese engineers just because it's made with BMW's supply chain.

I sat in the Supra at an auto show last year, and I was surprised to find it more cramped than a Miata. I cannot believe how claustrophobic that interior is, and I'm not especially averse to cramped cars. I sat in a first gen Lotus Elise when someone brought one Stateside. Yes, it was harder to get in-and-out of, but that felt roomy compared to the Supra.

[@cosmic_gate476]

I guess interior space wasn't part of their "every measurable way" comparison with the Z lmao

[@InvestBetter.]

I also have the current M2, and a deposit down for the Manual Supra, the first deposit at my dealer I don't think I'm trading the M2 for the Supra. The M2 is the best driving car I've ever had. I think I'll keep what I have, and get the Supra, at some point in the future I'll have 3-4 years to pick one up, but I have bonded with my M2, and I'm not letting it go.

I'm done with manual cars. I'm never going to go to a race track, so I don't see a need for one. I drive manual Ford Ranger and this is the last manual for me. Bring the auto

Keep us informed (No one cares about you)

[@metalogic1580]

I... uh.. what? Manuals have been obsolete for racing for a few years now, at least. A good auto is always going to outperform a manual, no matter the driver. That stopped being an argument for manual cars for a while now. Manuals are more fun, engaging, predictable and reliable. But in terms of performance, it's not better at all. If you're tired of the third pedal and just want to drive peacefully now, go ahead. But if your argument is that you don't care about losing in a race (while driving a Ranger...) so you're going auto, that just doesn't make any sense.

I think for the price, i'd take the new Z and just pop on my own tires, coilovers, exhaust, and tune. It would be a faster better handling car than the supra, for less money.
