After seeing this Supra on the dyno on youtube, I am slowly falling in love with the car. I'm hoping I can buy one next year

so... so far Jackie did a 54.7 at Lime Rock at Gridlife. Only two laps for him so far.

I predicted a 53, I bet he does it.

So far the fastest car at Grid Life Lime Rock is an unlimited class Evo at 52.5, which is... insanely fast at that track. Like other worldly.

Evos will always be hard to beat. That's why I can seem to commit to selling mine. 😂😂😂

No unlimited class Supra yet. Cannot compare the two.

Yep. It may also be hard to beat. That would be awesome. I'd have twice the street cred.

Looks like all the StreetMod Supras except Jackie are right around my PB so far. All with aero and one with 520whp. I guess maybe I could be competitive in Grid Life. lol.

I'd have to run the Street GT class. I don't see myself being competitive with nothing but OEM size, 200TW tires. 😂

I need to look at the rules. I think Street GT doesn’t allow two way adjustable coilovers.

There is a guy I track with that did a 1:00.9 in street mod with stock suspension, Verus aero, kuhmo v730 200tw tires, oem power. Literally the first time ever at Lime Rock today.

hey so little bit random question... does the Supra share any brake parts with any BMW? reason I'm asking is to see if a track Supra can take advantage of FCPeuro's lifetime replacement thing. having to buy rotors and pads only once would put a pretty nice dent on consumables cost... I mean they even let you return used oil... I have no idea how they stay in business, lol

Yea, same as the M trim bmws (not full M).

I believe the rear diff is from the F80 M3/4

Went to Palmer Motorsports park this weekend. Third time at this track, second time in the clockwise config.

I love this track, it's very challenging and a rollercoaster ride. I very much respect this track as I have seen a fair amount of crashes here so I don't drive it as hard as other tracks but still like to chip away time every time I go!

Also tried out the Kumho V730 tires for the first time. They are "okay". I think the Nankang CR-S tires spoiled me.
