More question for Tada-san:

1] I think I've seen spy pics of a MkIV Supra (N/A?) alongside the FT-86 prototype being tested in Germany. I also think I saw a Cayman, not sure if it was base, S, or R. What were the specific makes/models/years/trims of all the different cars used during benchmark testing?

2] I understand this car's suspension was tuned for different regions/environments of the world. For example, the stiffness/spring rate specs of the JDM 86 springs/struts are different than that of the FR-S in the US. Is the JDM BRZ suspension slightly different compared to the USDM BRZ suspension? How many different sets of part numbers exist among the BRZ/86/GT 86/FR-S suspensions around the world and what regions is each suspension set available in?

3] Who developed the exhaust at the 1:20 mark in this video (
It is being marketed for the FR-S under TRD USA but it looks like this was tested by Europeans in Japan. Is it Borla? Many members on this forum think it is but I think that's a huge misconception.
