@ichitaka05 can't quote you.
Why don't you post the interview you had with Tada but include the 86 references that the Supra forum pulled out?

He was a successful corporate middle sized fish, but that doesn't make him any less of a bona fide gearhead, either. Cupholder design pays the bills a whole lot more reliably than rolling loaded dice with the motorsports dream...

Didn't say he was less of a gearhead. Said he wasn't the original person with the dream just the guy that lead the team to make it happen.

Agreed. 'Automotive god' is reserved for the few people who saw their designs from original spark out to to the successful end and without whose active engineering input to the development process would have resulted in failure...Porsche, Chapman, Shelby, McLaren, etc. Tada is certainly a huge enthusiast - I don't take that away from him, and it certainly helped his pitch to the upstairs suits - but in the big picture is a regular corporate guy who has a mortgage like everyone else.

I've met him a few times at different events. He's a nice guy. I don't know if he will be remembered because I don't even recall the NSX/S2000 engineer you named.

Takes a special kind of fanboi to be able to throw out the names of chief engineers for several models of car!
