Mk V Supra - My Evo's Replacement?
Well I thought about selling mine. But the carfax is going to look dumb. Slow parking lot bang (rear quarter), rear ended (bumper).. hit a dear at like 20mph (front bumper). All fixes were cosmetic, and done by a FANTASTIC shop. But the carfax will look like I played bumper cars with it from the day I bought it. So I'm doubling down. 600whp or bust...I've owned it since new, so the year over year cost is diminishing. But damn the interior is crap, and your right about waning support. To have my block done, it was NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to find a shop. Ivey.. nope. AMS.. nope.. they have long moved on from the Evo X platform.
So I get it.
But....
LONG LIVE THE EVO !!!

To me it all just depends on how serious you are about performance driving. If you want to do open track days, drive to and from the track, cruise around town on the weekends etc. there's tons of newer cars that make great options. If you want to chase down lap records in a competitive setting it's still hard to argue against the CT9A platform. It's a dumb simple car, that isn't heavy or burdened by tons of electronics with a fairly robust drivetrain. These cars really only exist in the first place because of homologation ruling and since that isn't a thing anymore you cars that are on the market are a far cry from these cars. They're certainly the last of a dying breed.
My next track car will probably be a Sierra RX

You said fastest camaro, not which trim soooo. Heres Ryan Otis with a 1:46 in a ZL1 1LE. On the same day a fully stock 1SS 1LE (OEM wheels and tires) ran in the 1:49 range. I also have another friend in a Cayman GTS (last gen flat 6 version) with tires and Im not sure if shocks or not, but he finally hit a 1:49 also.

The vid you posted was from 2021, they repaved the track and made it slightly wider in some places during the off season between 2020 and 2021, most people are going about 2 seconds faster on the repave. So taking that into account the one I posted seams to be a little quicker. Your guy is prolly the better driver tho, tire difference alone should be worth 2-3 seconds.
Thanks, the deal isn't sealed yet. Waiting for the docs, then I get the transport to pick it up. Ohio to New York.
I'll get it just in time to drive it for a week then put it in the garage for three months. lol
laughcry, but in all seriousness, that allows me to prep it for track duty in the spring.

Truck should get there in a week or so to pick it up. I should have the Supra within two weeks!

Evo is staying for now until I see how I like the Supra. Wife is not happy that both my cars get to stay in the garage for now...
I'll stop taking over @Lumpy Sticks thread and post my own Supra thread here soon. I've already ordered parts and I don't even have the car yet... haha
I really wanted the grey @Lumpy Sticks has but it was impossible to find. White was my second choice.

Dont worry about taking over the thread. Its more of an anything Supra goes type of thread.
Took mine down to the yacht we have in Long Beach for the weekend. Never realized how nice it is to have cruise control, especially smart cruise control haha.
