I seem to remember the PR department saying something like the vents are where they would be but it was the up to the owners to cut them out if they wish.....

Just alot of silly PR BS that both the Supra and the FT86 marketing teams had to come up with.....

Again, it has as much of an opening as the 1st gen 86/FRS/BRZ does. Yes, there is metal behind the vent (inner frame/ in this case.) There is however a little slit/opening in them and they do let out a bit of heat that is noticeable.

The bumper vents next to the headlights also have an opening to them, just no duct-work to go anywhere. The rear ones by the tail lights are in an enclosed space, so ducting from the wheel well would be needed if you wanted function. Your SOL on the doors.

Are they a game changer? No.

Do they work if swapped? Yes.

Was it a bit of marketing crap? Yep. Especially since the GT4 version of the car features fully functional vents from the get-go (sans-door.)

No, but it does look nice. I do kinda have a street legal 'race car' in the shape of a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2.. it's not stripped out, a road version.

I think over time my BRZ'd will make a nice stripped out racer, much like the 240z resto-mods that we all have seen and love..

Browsing the Toyota Pressroom site and saw this PDF document (located on the right sidebar) on the 2023 Toyota GR Supra page which not only confirms that the manual will be priced at the exact same, but the A91-MT being priced at not much more than the premium. I haven't seen anything officially released for 2023 pricing or posted here yet, but it's conveniently located on the Toyota website so maybe everyone already knew. Thoughts?

Click above or see below:

2370 2023 GR Supra 2.0 I4 $43,540
2372 2023 GR Supra 3.0 Base I6 $52,500
2374 2023 GR Supra 3.0 Premium I6 $55,650
2383 2023 GR Supra 3.0 Base MT $52,500
2385 2023 GR Supra 3.0 Premium MT $55,650
2387 2023 GR Supra 3.0 A91-MT $58,345

Sasquachulator · 07-28-2022, 05:34 PM

I wonder if the 2023 Canadian model is just more equipped than the US....cuz theres only 3 models...and only the 3.0 MT has an additional package that can be added.

From the Toyota.ca Supra build & price section:

-Supra 2.0 = $57,170
-Supra 3.0 = $68,640
-Supra 3.0 MT = $68,640
-Supra 3.0 MT + Premium Package (This seems like the A91 MT package)= $70,270

Good on Toyota to not charge extra for the manual.

I remember a time when manuals were always cheaper than automatics (although some manufacturer's still do that today). I'm still waiting for the first car that offers a manual as a costly option, though (or might be already someone did that?)...

WolfpackS2k · 08-01-2022, 12:48 PM

Oh I'm fully aware of that. I wasn't really expecting Toyota to charge more for the manual, but it wouldn't have surprised me in the least if it was only available with a high level trim package. I don't even need to cite instances of that happening, it's rampant these days

Mazda 3. Might be the 2020 or 2019 one. If you wanted the manual one, there was no base model option, or any lower trim, it was outright the highest trim. Hence making it an expensive option to get a manual one. Oh, and you can't get a 2.5 AWD. Only 2.0 and FWD.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-01-2022, 03:07 PM

And didn't VW offer manuals as an added cost option?
