36: The Car That Killed Godzilla
#Supra #JGTC #Racing
As the battle worn #36 Toyota Supra skidded across the finish line,
It breathed its last breath to give Toyota what they had been wishing for, for decades, a trophy that said they had finally defeated Nissan.
This is the story of how a decades old rivalry culminated during Japan's golden era of touring car racing. A tale of revenge, of betrayal, and most importantly, of door to door racing.
This is the story of the Castrol Tom's Supra, the dominance of the Nissan GT-R, and the origins of the JGTC itself.

    The 2JZ could make a TON more power considering it's 3.0L, cast iron block, and special piston rods. My understanding is that the issue was that to combat the weight difference you'd have to make ridiculous power that would not lend itself well to a race track car vs say a drag car. It also added significant weight to the front of the car making weight distribution worse for handling. Seeing as they are a Toyota race team they could do things that normal people couldn't like swap the engines, shift the powertrain placement back, tune the suspension, etc. Let's not pretend you were going to make 1,500HP or more on the 503E.

    I know it's probably just for the video, but to say that the NSX is forgotten is just wrong. Maybe its numbers are laughable now, maybe its stylings show their age, maybe it was a winner for only a blink of an eye in history, but the NSX is ABSOLUTELY a historical car that is remembered fondly by more than just enthusiasts.

    Honestly every mazda ive driven has been an experience. Even the b2200s i used to own had soul. I drove a couple regular rx8s and an r3 and wow. They have so much personality! My mom had a nc mx5 gt 2.0 fully loaded, had all the options and i miss thst car so much. Mazda knows how to make a vehicle that truely makes you feel. I remember how you feel the road and the engine and the gears its like you become part of the car when you are driving! Its incredible.

    I will never forget the first time I saw this car. Immediately falling in love with not just the visual aspect, but the overall presence and sound of the car itself. I’d already fallen in love with the 2nd Gen GS400, the ISF and now seeing Toyota/Lexus follow up with the LFA… I knew from that day forward I would own every single car that carried the F badge. I just got an ISF, working on an RCF and will be getting a GSF soon after that. I will have an LFA.

    It's an intriguing car, but comparing it to the McLaren F1 is a bit unreasonable. The next step in automotive evolution was Koenigsegg, whose subsequent creations have been nothing short of extraordinary. Remarkably, Koenigsegg achieves this without outsourcing engine production, making their accomplishments even more impressive. The only components not engineered and manufactured in-house are the car's tires.

    I owned an R33 and found it really disappointing. It felt too big and heavy. It felt slow to react. It didn't even feel that well built. It always put a smile on my face when I looked at it though. But compared to the Honda Prelude and MR2 I owned, the handling was nothing to write home about.

    • @the.squidd
      @the.squidd 2 дня назад

      Had you driven an R32 before that? Did it feel bad in comparison to that? From everything I read the R33 was a better car, but maybe not in the ways some enthusiasts wanted. It should've felt stiffer though, it was supposedly FAR better made.

    • @Michelle_Schu-blacka
      @Michelle_Schu-blacka 2 дня назад

      @the.squidd I've not driven an R32, but from what I can tell, it was better than the R33 although not nearly as pretty. My guess is performance is not going to be far off the R33 when size and weight is factored in. Part of my issues were the electronics doing too much instead of letting me drive.
