We Don't Appreciate the Toyota Supra Enough

  • My fondness for the Toyota Supra has grown over time, and now that I've gotten to live with it on three separate occasions, I can safely say that I'm smitten by it. Sure, there's the BMW Z4 connection, the fact that the Nissan Z exists, the Chevy Camaro is faster, some version of the Ford Mustang GT are, too... But the Supra distills a number of attributes that we enthusiasts prize into a winning formula. Now that my children are getting older and one of them can drive herself around, I can once again realistically live with a two seat sports car. The Toyota Supra just might be my first choice in this situation... See my progression of emotion in the reviews below, and check out some of the Toyota Supra's closest competitors as well.

      People also forgot that a brand new MKIV wasn't cheap. Adjusted for inflation, the MKV is cheaper and with way better tech, and while the powertrain isn't as tough as the 2JZ, the B58 is a hell of a motor and makes more power stock for stock.
      I've always told people that even on release, the MKV is a worth successor to the Supra name. It just needs that third pedal, which it finally got. I plan to get one soon.

    Love your channel 👍🏻 Yes that Supra with the B58 married to the 8 speed auto should be considered the benchmark other engine builders should covet. Had it in a 2020 BMW 440ix coupe that showed me the light on what an awesome combination tune of engine and transmission should be like.
    QUESTION:
    How come other manufacturers don’t just go buy the B58 and use it? Love my Genesis GV70 & G80, great products but could you imagine how much better those would be with the B58? Until someone else can get that kind of performance and efficiency from a 3.0 inline 6 turbo…just go buy theirs and put them in your badge!

    • @jax1079
      @jax1079  Před rokem +1

      My guess is because BMW is protectionist when it comes to their powertrains whereas GM sprinkled the goodness of the LS V8 all over the world like manna from heaven. You could still buy the LS7 up until this year, which is nuts. Since the Supra is basically just a BMW Z4, Toyota doesn't really have any rights to use the engine as they see fit. They more or less just have the rights to put a different body on a Z4 and call it a Supra... for better or worse. I'm a fan, but I know it bugs some people. I think it shows not only how awesome the LS motor is but also how cool GM is for offering it as a crate engine with no questions asked.

(As I said, the passenger seat is a different story....) Also, and I mean this seriously, it's not a car for fat people. If you are a husky 6'2" or more, you will not fit.

    The B58 is honestly such a good engine but it's in so many vehicles nowadays that it just doesn't feel special. Good, just not special. The EA855 in the RS3 is special. The G16E-GTS in the GR Yaris is special. Nothing wrong with throwing an incredible powerplant in a Supra, but with a name like the Supra, it should have been something more special and unique, not something in countless other cars out there. It would have been amazing if Toyota had made a new halo sports car and call it something completely different and drop the B58 in that instead because I love the new Supra. It sounds great and drives great. Just not special.

      Totally get what you’re saying, but remember that the 2JZ wasn’t bespoke necessarily. Versions of the JZ straight sixes appeared in numerous Toyota products worldwide. In some ways it was more like the LS1, which is itself one of the great engines of all time… yet LS engines were EVERYWHERE. I think your distinction between good and special is a VERY interesting topic, though. Maybe I need to make a video about that…. 😉👍🏻
