Mk V Supra - My Evo's Replacement?
Well good thing there are only like 50 bolts you need to loosen up haha. I had mine on and off 3 times so I feel the pain. I really need to quit being lazy and order a Quickjack. Looks like Costco has a 5000 series combo on sale for $1400... Might as well do it.

1:55 at Thunderhill stock power. Verus Splitter and ****, Nankang CR-S, KW coilovers. Pretty amazing
Supra continues to impress me.
1:56 in a MANUAL supra with just tires and KW coilovers:

Other than the KWs, this is all plan to do. I haven't researched lap times at thunder Hill, but I will now.
1:58-1:59 was considered very fast for Evos back when I lived in California and frequented Thunderhill. I don't think any non-aero Evo ever broke 2:00. My best in my Evo 10 before I moved was 2:00.1 with heat cycled out NT01's. I was really bummed I couldn't break into the 1:5X's before I moved away.
GT3's and GT4's are mid 1:5X cars stock. Same with ZL1 1LE

Yes. That area used to not be paved. Now it is. You payed for the whole track, use it 
During races that run off is coned off.
People also short cut the last corner into the front straight.

From what I read, everywhere, regarding lap times: if I eventually end up with a GT3, I will not be disappointed 
Sure would be interesting to no longer have to chase the benchmark car. LOL

Glad you got it on. It was by no means a fun task. Have you taken it around the block yet to see how bad it scrapes or is your car in winter hibernation?

I wonder how a forward-facing car seat for 3+ year olds would fit in the GR Supra.
We use my Tacoma for hauling the kid (soon to be 2 kids) around, but I'd like a second car for grocery getting and running errands when my wife and I go separate places. We both work from home, so commuting isn't a consideration.

Unlike you TURNCOATS I'm doubling down on my Evo X MR. Looking for an engine builder locally, and so far, haven't found anything (upstate NY).
Seriously though, if my Evo X Carfax didn't look like I played bumper cars with it (which I didn't just minor dings, but still on the books looks bad) I would sell it for one of these fine BMw...er... Supras!
It is kinda sad logging in and seeing the most action on the forum being a SUPRA thread.
