SHOULD THE NEW SUPRA BE YOUR NEXT CAR? (4 Month Ownership Review)

[@Blackhammers69]

this car is an amazing. im glad toyota went with BMW as the engine supplier

[@302daddyd]

It's pretty much a BMW with Toyota body.

[@thefoodcan]

Not me, really love how the supra looks but the way BMW engineers things to be expensive is something Im going to avoid.

[@dewarkhodern9990]

​​@@302daddyd No. Toyota helped with the chassis. And for the record there wouldn't be a current generation (G29) BMW Z4 if it wasn't for the Supra

[@dewarkhodern9990]

​@@thefoodcan If you can't afford a sports car, then get a "regular car"

[@302daddyd]

@@dewarkhodern9990 Doesn't change the FACT that it's still a BMW.

[@jdm3litecoulture-572]

I have this same car and yes it’s a BMW but it’s a bad ass car bro. I actually track mine and it’s amazing on the track before even putting mods on it.

[@jesseolson3810]

Thanks for this video! Love the honesty and excitement you show. Its never bothered me that Toyota partnered with BMW to develop this car. I agree in that I feel like if Toyota developed a new I-6 for the GR Supra, the MSRP would've been considerably higher. Thus, making it unattainable for the average consumer. The fact that Toyota analyzed everything and made adjustments to ensure reliability met company standards was such an important thing. These days, especially with the price of gas, reliability is that much more important. Currently living/working in Taiwan right now and in the process of purchasing the 22' 3.0 Premium. Super excited to get back state-side to be able to drive it. Thanks man. Keep the videos coming.

[@JPTinioMedia]

Did you run a downpipe and exhaust with no tune?

[@paulmcmorrow9640]

I’ve got one and love it, drives really well and boy it’s fast just in stock form.

[@channelgreen5949]

You run 305/35 tires on rear?? That doesn’t touch your lowering springs rear? Unless you run coilovers it would be clear and no rub on springs/suspension. Thanks

[@SlickSniper3]

You running JB4 right now? Love the supra man. It's a great car, and a while from now people will look back and realize what a gem it was for the price.

[@PhongVLG]

No, not running JB4. The car is stock tuned at be moment, but will be actually going on EcuTek and be tuned for E50 mix

[@thoopra]

I’m between the 57CRs and 57DRs right now As well as either an HKS or ARK exhaust Great video!

[@PhongVLG]

I honestly went with the DR’s just because of the extra spoke, wasn’t a fan of the one less spoke look. But of course that’s a preference thing, as for the exhaust. I haven’t owned the HKS but have heard it and it sounds nice too! But I will say I do love my Ark, it’s loud when you want it and quiet when you do as well. Closing the valves and still having that option is great and the sound is a deep-tone with zero drone in cabin (and I’m catless).

[@marcussilva8440]

Great Video! Facts! A91 Edition here!

[@Zupra4]

Too bad the subs are horrible! I even did the eq settings, and added the ports and foam in the box. Helped a touch, but still terrible 😔

[@ZayTRD]

I’m glad Toyota teamed up with BMW I agree with you this is a modern 2JZ in the form of the B58. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford to get a Supra soon! Sooner or later ppl will realize how much of a gem the new Supra is.

[@dewarkhodern9990]

Remember, 2JZ started in the Toyota Artisto/Lexus GS. NOT the Supra(MK4 A80 4th gen).

Good video, thinking of getting one, What has been the best gas mileage so far?

[@fuckingallthesehoes3295]

It’s pretty good on the highway (avg 26-27 MI), but in sport mode it can be a gas guzzler

[@charliestoybox2099]

Are the shifts solid and sharp or mushy? I’m waiting on the manual to come out and compare which I’d enjoy more.

[@PhongVLG]

It’s solid and sharp, very on point and you can also purchase a transmission tune from xHP which makes it shift even faster and sharper which personally I didn’t think it shift any faster 😂 But the manual will be a nice enthusiast feeling, but compared to this auto trans called the ZF-8 it will for sure be much faster, the manual won’t be able to out shift it.

[@charliestoybox2099]

@@PhongVLG thanks for the feedback. Definitely hard for a manual to keep up these days on speed compared to this auto or a dual clutch. But it’s just going to be a toy so manual might be more fun. But if auto can shift with a sharp felt kick versus smooth, it might be better for me. 58 with trashed legs and ankles. But still, I drive dump trucks with 18 speed for living. Not going to buy until end of 2023 so have time. Need new garage roof first.

[@PhongVLG]

@@charliestoybox2099 Ah I see, coming from my previous build which was a manual as well.. I can promise these new auto dual clutch transmissions are as fun especially since it’s responsive and gives the feeling you are still in control, all the while giving you the option to just throw it in drive and relax hahaha. I don’t miss manual in traffic that’s for sure 😂 But either choice, you’ll love it, it’s a fun car overall and makes power very easily with minor modifications.

[@charliestoybox2099]

@@PhongVLG yeah everything I’ve seen is this auto actually shifts faster than many dual clutch setups. Great for lap times. Living up North in Washington I have 2 racetracks with an hour each way that I play on with my bikes. The car will be secondary transportation but mostly a toy to do laps with. Wheels, tires, suspension and brakes is what I’ll be concentrating on. Glad to see a new Supra out. I like the nose way better than the tail. The nose reminds me of the Enzo.

[@PhongVLG]

@@charliestoybox2099 that sounds awesome! Yeah around the track I can also see this being plenty fun. The stock power is plenty enough for sure, also I looked for a time stamp on my video for you to sort of see the shifting it’s at 30:34 you can see how fast it shifts there, other than that appreciate the comment and enjoy the rest of your day! Good luck with your ride in the future!

God damn vsc full off is crazy bro. You wild for not at least having it in the traction mode 🤣

[@ActNasty5]

Ahh more grip makes sense hahaha

[@PhongVLG]

Haha, it’s the best way to enjoy the car. Doesn’t limit the torque so you get all the power, but of course be safe and cautious. I’ve had a lot of experience with RWD and handling such power.

[@ActNasty5]

@@PhongVLG haha i turn it off completely and swing it sometimes but man on stock tires its pretty wild😂

[@PhongVLG]

@@ActNasty5 haha yeah, I’d highly recommend the Nitto NT555 G2’s , better grip than the stock tires for sure and also able to daily. Can drive in rain with no caution (so long you don’t step on it of course) & grips great when warmed up! Upgrade your fronts to 275/35 and rears to 305/35 (also yes it does fit on stock wheels).

No one is attempting to push performance engines to a million miles. People push them to limits and rebuild them. They will never reach a million miles anyways because most people don't daily their sports car or have second hand vehicles.
