I just thought it was an interesting observation by the editors and test drivers at MT since everyone raves about the (more expensive) M cars (here, the M2.)

The authors probably could have worded it differently, e.g., Supra had similar lap times to cars that costs X times more.

I believe the quote said it beat the M2. Ever watch drag racing? A car can win (or beat another car) without being faster in the quarter mile. I think they would have to repeat that win with multiple drivers over multiple tracks to finally be able to claim the car was a faster car, which wasn't what they were trying to claim or present.

The accolade is noteworthy because the Supra is quoted as being less powerful and costs less.

Not sure why this is a surprise. The M2 is heavier and has an older less capable chassis design based on a taller longer GT car rather than an actual more compact sports car. That's almost like those 86 versus Mustang or Camaro comparos.

What is surprising is the M3 is lighter.

Oops!! Someone having a good time leaving a "Mustang meet"...

Is that the Intercooler that flexed that much without snapping?

Pretty impressive.

Kaotic Lazagna · 10-27-2019, 12:10 PM

I read the owner was doing a test and tune on the road, lost control, and went into a tree.

The intercooler is built into the intake manifold on the top of the engine. That has to be a bumper reinforce or something?

Possibly the AC condenser?

Looks like the Flux Capacitor to me.

Don't think it reached 88mph before hitting the tree...
