[@TangoGolfCharlie]

I want to see each drag race like this to have a base model car included, so we can see just how much better the top spec one is

[@gagd7351]

that's a great idea for many models which would look alike from the base model to the top model in order to compare correctly. however on the 2021 yaris gr it's kind of biased since the gr has literally everything different (even the chassis is unique): the box, the engine, the materials, it only shares the the main lower body and the front axle with the normal yaris i think

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

@@tracktimevideos5164 well I've got a mk7 golf r and it's an APR stage 2 full bolt ons so I'm fairly into the turbo4 scene. And I absolutely agree, WRX and STIs are exclusive when it comes to sound and that boxer engine. I love the way they sound but they're an exception to the rule. But their sound is more like a rumble, I mean I can tell if it's a Subaru from a mile away just from that distinct engine and exhaust note. But this particular car had a uninterrupted non-rumbling vroom sound. And there was no supercharger whine like on my buddies insane gen 2 CTS-V that almost drowns out the entire engine. Sounds awesome though. Anyway it's not a big deal, it's just that these days, losing all our NA blocks for twin turbo v8s that sound like air and Burbles, it was just nice to hear that exhaust note come from a turbo 4. But we'll always have the B7 RS4, w204 c63, Shelby GT350, 911 GT3, original 458, E46 m3, my ap1 Honda S2000 (between 6- 9k RPM LOL).

The ‘MN’ in ‘GRMN’ stands for ‘Meister of Nurburgring’, which is a way of paying tribute to TGR’s test drivers who have developed the products on the legendary German circuit. These would include Hiromu Naruse, the company’s chief test driver and head of GAZOO Racing who died in a crash in Germany in 2010. Naruse was Toyoda’s mentor in racing and whom Toyoda was asked to replace as ‘Master Driver’ of Toyota and Lexus.
