Thanks! I take it that’s an 86 at the top?

Correct. Now days, when he sign, it looks like this (found it on interweb)... well, if it’s Supra stuff, iirc he put “Supra” on top instead of “86”.


My Tada-san’s autograph are these 2.



I do meet him more than some others (not as much as Moto-san)... but feel awkward keep asking him to sign random 86 stuff, so first time meeting him was the only time I asked for autograph.

I'm drooling waiting for the final video from Pap. The car is going to be sick. I hope they don't crash it.

A full carbon kit would be sweet. Better than most widebody kits IMO. Cleaner. Major $$$ i bet.

BMW's internal image of the S58 ECU/DME features the Supra. This typically only happens when parts are shared with that particular car so they only need to produce a single image instead one for each car. Thoughts?

i'm not exactly sure what you're asking... yes, i can confirm that bmw and toyota shared the work to build the car

Are you implying that the Supra will be getting the new S58 M engine?

It is hard to compare vehicles that are so different in price. The Supra is the better buy. Tuning ability and customization is something to consider too. I really don’t see Cayman builds too often. What type of power are the 718’s capable of? The Cayman is down on displacement, but is mid engine.

I watched that video a couple of days ago. Sofyan's videos are quite thorough and relatively unbiased.

I totally agree with all points here. The Supra is definitely the better value and the aftermarket support is growing rather quickly considering it's only been out for less than a year.

I'm sure the steering, tranny (PDK) and balance is better in the Cayman than the Supra. Though not worth $40k+ more, for most buyers. On that note, not a lot of people are going to cross-shop these cars, considering their price difference, even though the Supra was benchmarked on the Cayman. Also, for that much more coin, I'd expect the Porsche to have the better interior and tech features.

Also, the newer 2021 4.0 6-cyl GTS starts at $90k, has less torque than the Supra and is "estimated" (according to Porsche) slower at 4.3 seconds 0-60. Hmmm.
