Grabbed a few of the new car while I was out. Also just got a downpipe and tune and holy $hit! 432whp/481tq.
I'm starting a YouTube channel in 2020 to document everything I do to this (plus my other cars). It will also all be on IG (@therealdennyprime) as well as some fun little vids on TikTok (@guinnesscalamari... for now )
I bashed it when it first came out... especially the BMW/Toyota collab. But I'm a BMW guy so I quickly got over that. Then I saw it in person. Then I sat in one in like August or September. After that I knew I wanted one. The gains people are getting with minimal effort/cost was also a perk. That's when I decided to sell the E46 M3 to make garage space and went on the hunt. Flew to Ohio and drove it back last week. This car is so sick!
^ Everybody wants to compare it to the MK4 .. and when everybody thinks of that, they think "wHy dOeS iT mAke sSuCh liTttLe PoWeR?/??1 2jz = 100o WhP!"
Puh-lease, modern chassis, modern gear box, phenomenal engine - it will do just fine in the performance arena ... and it already has with bolt-ons / E85 alone .

Yup. I did a downpipe and tune... cost about $1200 including labor and dyno time. And you see my numbers above. Huge jump for minimal cost.
If I wanted to run E30 all I need to do is a simple reflash (literally takes 9 seconds ) and I'd be at ~505whp/544wtq. The company that made my downpipe is developing a full "bolt-on" setup (intake, downpipe, mids, exhaust) which will produce even more power for not a lot of money. It's sick what these cars are doing. A car with the same setup as mine (and same tune) is dragging RS7s and other beasts out in the wild. It's crazy.
Best part is the shop that built my supercharged E90 M3 is the same shop I'm bringing the Supra to... so I have everything done under one roof...

Congrats. B58 got huge potentials. It really does not take much to get around 500 reliable whp....
Still learning shooting and editing so videos will trickle out initially... then become more frequent once I get into a groove. I'm working on vids #2 and #3 as we speak
I saw my first Supra a little over a week ago at a local Toyota dealer, smaller than I expected it to be. Was surprised there wasn't a 'Market Adjustment' on it, just window tine & wheel locks.

The real market adjustments were on the Launch Edition which is pretty much over now. The Base and Premium models are going for MSRP on the high end... but deals are out there as I did not pay MSRP. I guess it just depends on how greedy the dealers want to be. I can tell you the dealers here were greedy for sure, which is why I got mine in Ohio...
