Thanks for opening my eyes
Kaotic, what's your favorite thing about the car so far?

I mean, all cars these days should be able to run 87, right? It's some kind of law??? I personally wouldn't run 87 on a car designed for 91 though.

But so far, gonna say the turbo noises. Didn't realize stock cars can have loud BOVs. Shoot, I almost can't even hear my R32s BOVs. |

One thing I hate though......only 28 miles on the odometer, and with no hard braking at all, with the longest braking being getting off the freeway, there is a lot of brake dust.

Yeah I actually noticed that on the Core I checked out last month (one I posted photos of). Was noticeable, even with the whole car being a bit dirty (it was rainy then).

I wonder if the brake pads they're using are the same material as the Brembos from our PP cars. Those had SO much brake dust.

Might be hard to see, but look at that build up in the groove. Remember, 28 miles on the car, and it was raining on my way home from the dealership.

Mine finally arrived so I picked it up! My neighbor with the A91-MT was my chauffeur to the dealership which was 1.5 hours North of us.
Drove 100 miles back home and it felt awesome. This car feels special, and you can really feel it’s purpose as a driver’s car. It stands out from a lot of cars I’ve driven/owned. I want to write a detailed comparison comparing it to the GR86 as well as 1st Gen twins, and some bits comparing the GR Supra, GR86, and GRC. I’ve personally owned all 3 (as well as 3 first Gens) so I’m excited and proud to share my thoughts lol. But to be fair, the driving experience is so different. It almost doesn’t make sense to compare them because they are too different. That’s why I’m keeping my GR86. But I know there will be people comparing both but can only drive away with one.
