Is the 4-cylinder Supra the BEST Supra for you?

I test the '22 Toyota Supra SZR on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

[@doctor_who1]

Dale just takes someone elses car, cannot name them for some suspicious reason, presses all the buttons to turn off VSC, says not allowed to drift, gets bored, falls asleep, and proceeds to drift with one hand. he needs his own TV show.

[@BTGDale]

The algorithm doesn't agree. 🐌💨

[@doctor_who1]

@@BTGDale Hi Dale you know a lot about turning cars for performance and there is a burning question that forums cannot help me. Have a BMW M340i Touring - next set of tyres will be 255-35-19 [factory] or 255-35-18 (just the wheels that i have they are both 8.5" wide). will going to the smaller tyres be more advantageous - eg better acceleration, better cornering?, better responsiveness?, lower rotating mass ... it can't be that simple surely?

[@BTGDale]

​@@doctor_who1​depends on the weights of the wheels, and also the exact measured widths and heights of the tyre (specs don't always tell the whole truth) BUT as a rule of thumb, yes. Should work

[@davidmcmahon8731]

Great video Dale - effortless in the wet like always

[@anarky277]

Nice format dude, enjoyed that!

[@BTGDale]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@stefthepef]

For reals. This is the kind of car review that's relevant to my interests, haha.

[@marcnobel3938]

I was really curios about that thematic for a while. Saw one at Best Motoring and that got me really thinking. Good base to start.

[@BTGDale]

I'm definitely a fan!

I’m curious to go out on that one ☝️ great review mate!

[@BTGDale]

You will!

[@speedengineeringgmbh]

Thank you for the Video! Great review as usual! I just wonder how to get in the car when the cage is in :D

[@BTGDale]

Man, it's gonna be tight! 🐘

[@yarisTSk]

great drive.

[@alfasteve12]

Terrific vid!

[@BTGDale]

Thanks Steve!

[@doctor_who1]

guys what you really want to see is 7:30

[@stefthepef]

I *do* need to learn how to do sweet drifts..............definitely elsewhere, ha. I'm also surprised how much I liked the 4-banger Supra when I got a short lap in it over here. I don't have any connections to THEE MYTHICAL SUPRA LEGEND or whatever it is in folks' brains that ruins this version for them for whatever reason. It was just a fun lil' car that looks neat and was comfortable inside, and you're right-it feels relatively light and balanced, even with my no-talent butt behind the wheel. Would hoon more. Want to hoon more. Really want to hoon the three-pedal version.

[@patthonsirilim5739]

The mk4 Supra that win most of the racing series were not the the 3.0 but was fitted with 2.0 engine for better balance.

[@skrypka]

Great review! But what about infamous widely discussed bump steer in the rear axle of Supra?

[@BTGDale]

Yet to be discovered, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

[@PFCKruger]

I think your bavarian tamagotchi has a seizure. But nice video mate, see you in a bit. :3

[@roryplane2327]

Toyota used to swap the mkIV super to a 4 cylinder for Japanese GT500 racing 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BTGDale]

That's correct. The GT500 class Super GT car was indeed a 4-cylinder... as was the Top Secret 200mph beast!

[@pure_awareness]

Hmmm really Smokey's Original Top Secret Supra was a 4 pot.... interesting

[@snipermonkey321]

@@pure_awareness thought the top secret 200 mph supra was an rb straight six from a nissan? And yes the toms supra was a 3sgte

[@ignatius2230]

On a supposedly N24h the 4cyl would be very competitive against others of their class

[@JosephKotrieMonson]

Me thinking I can drive and then watching Dale do a wet lap. 😭

[@BTGDale]

You're too kind!

[@JREVY22DECEPTICON416]

Omg supra 😍😍😍😍great video on a great car 🚗👏

[@BTGDale]

Thank you 🤗

[@Ybeex]

Dale what do you think, this 2.0 supra or a 2.0 basic cayman for a clubsport build,... ?

[@BTGDale]

Do you like paying Porsche-Tax? If yes, you can make a faster car, easier, by taking the basic Cayman to Manthey. But it will be a big initial investment, and an MR platform that might be more intimidating, depending on skill levels.

[@Ybeex]

@@BTGDale thanks for your answer. i was wondering about this mainly because the 2.0 caymans with a few km are already available at good prices that are partly on the same price level as an almost new supra. so my consideration is more whether a stock cayman or a modified supra is more fun. Have a nice day and thanks for the cool videos

[@ericfan1223]

best car ever. I love my b48

[@thomryanjaro3962]

This is what a new modern Nissan Silvia would've been.

[@deathandtaxes8949]

Can the nanny's be disabled completely, like completely off?

[@dannoyes4493]

So, Toyota should be doing all chassis tuning for BMW?

[@BTGDale]

It does make me wonder about the internal differences between M and none-M BMW chassis dynamics, and whether there's much between the different teams. This is not an 'M' BMW, but it's close.

[@doctor_who1]

all the Sch-tats (that's how Germans pronounce ST) from 6:00

[@JJsAutomotive]

It was a cool video but if Marc was sitting passenger it would have been an all-timer... Still loved it!

[@phill4337]

The answer is no. Also Why are u breathing so heavy, and not adjusting the car before going on track
