The 2020 has a lot better ride comfort vs the 2017. My best guess is the shock response time to make it soft or hard when you need it? The 2017 sometime feel like it bottoms out over bumps on the road.

The 2020 brakes hasn't squeaked on me yet and that is the main difference to me.

I traded my TRD 86 for this car and the 86 feels like it's stuck in R mode on the CTR therefore I prefer the adjustable shocks.

I can see what you're saying regarding oversteer, but personally, I find RWD oversteer *much* more satisfying than the more lift-off/turn-in oversteer of FWD. But I can definitely see where that could be fun, and with all the other advantages the CTR has I can see it being an extremely fun DD.
It's funny you say that. I frequently have CTRs trying to roll with the Supra

And then when they lose they go and sell the CTR and blame the car for not being fast enough, or spend money on "UPGRADES"..

Typically it's the ones with some mods; the stock ones I think know they're not gonna really have a shot against a Supra from a roll.

The funnier part to me is usually i'll just start in 5th or 6th...
