hard to see people messing with them too much considering the price tag


Know any serious GTR guys? Wait a year and come to a TX2K, if there is any potential in the car somebody will be roaming the street with it.

don't understand this

they put a twin turbo 3L inline 6 in this thing and only get 335HP

Nissan puts a twin turbo 3.8L V6 in the GTR and they get 565HP

Seems like toyota is purposely holding this thing back????


It's detuned by Toyota for some reason.

A tune alone (1k or less) will have this above 400hp easy.

It’s a lovechild of Scion and BMW.

less horsepower than a V6 Shitstain


Yet it has the same reported 0-60 as the Mustang GT. There is more to automotive performance than horsepower, no?

I would buy a GT-R if I were looking for a Japanese sports car and get 200 more HP. The performance and styling of the Supra is a letdown for me.

No one outside of Toyota has officially taken the car out for a spin.

That same Mustang can be had for 40k less money.

In fact, you can buy two for the price of this one

I can’t believe I can buy a mustang gt performance pack 2 for half the cost of the Supra and get twice the car. Despite what stereotypes have been, the newest mustang gt is a badass car. And has plenty more on tap (add boost and get to 800+ hp on these new coyotes).

I applaud Toyota for the marketing decision to bring back the Supra, but the fact that this car is basically a badgineered Z4 makes it a joke. No real Supra fan in his right mind will buy one.

RC-F is hot garbage. Awful on the track.

It’s single turbo.

Also, should be making at least 365 if not the full 382 that a Z4 makes but Toyota decided to hold it back for some reason.

My wife’s SUV that has this motor makes 360ish. Motor is great though. Will probably just need a tune.

Sorry to hijack, random thought. In the first Fast & Furious movie, is Paul Walker’s orange car a Supra?

They'll sit on them... You can get a gently used GTR that will blow the doors off that car for less..

The RC-F is a GT and the 2020 model will boast the best weight to horsepower performance out of its segment which includes the C63 and M4
