As to top speed discussion, I think it's stupid for any sports cars to be artificially limited.

New Supra running Nurburgring 24 hour race. Live stream for qualifying.
I had read that the Supra was going to be running in this 24 hour endurance race. Grassroots Motorsports Magazine is streaming qualifying live and I have spotted the Supra on track during the current session.
https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/24...xY0gAmySGooJkU Currently P74 qualifying speed.

The interesting thing is that Tada is on record saying the Supra is already the lowest it can go without scraping for normal daily use. In fact, if you lower it anymore, certain sensors might not keep working accurately. But maybe he was just foreshadowing the #7 Le Mans car?

While a boxer certainly helps, its not a requirement for a low CG. Example is the C7 Z01 at 17.5".
