And by golly, it slides by all your usual objections, too. Although it's only No bump of the noggin. Because the door opening is cut high into the roof. Once inside, you fit perfectly. The seat track has tremendous travel, more than nine inches, and the seat hugs just right. It doesn't need any of those adjusting levers and switches that you can never get quite right anyway, and it doesn't have them. The driver's office is arranged with exceptional astuteness.
Everything is close, but not too close. Nothing rubs on you—not the console, not the bottom of the dash. The controls that are not located on column stalks are turned toward you so they're easy to see—even the window buttons, even the ignition keyhole. The HVAC and radio controls are above your knee, high up, where they can be seen and reached, and the all-important power socket for the radar detector is up in the dash where the cord won't get tangled in things that are none of its business.
Instrumentation is incredibly legible, aggressively simple—three big, round dials. The tach is front and center, speedo to the right, and a combination temperature and fuel gauge on the left. Warning lights monitor everything else. The view out the windshield is broad and inviting.
In the mirror, it's reasonably unrestricted behind, too. And the leather covers on the wheel, shifter, and brake handle feel good. You get safety and convenience.
Toyota found room for both a real glovebox and a passenger airbag. There's also a reasonably large lidded compartment in the console between the front buckets. If anything has been overlooked on the master plan, it's cargo capacity.

You would also have to factor in car age loss of power over time , the cars are now 13 and 14 yrs old on average. Road conditions and driver capability. I think the figure being bandied about is for a factory stock NA. It would be nice to get a real time. And yet again I will say it is rather less important than your time, you are far more likely to need that for overtaking.
My car was a stock 5spd NA. Jesus, was that in Reverse? You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

The windshield keeps getting pelted with raindrops, and the wipers come on. One hundred sixty-one miles per hour in the rain! Does the American spec Supra also have a limiter? To find that out, the popular Youtuber that goes by the name Stradman, took his Supra out to a dry lake bed in Utah.
He hit miles per hour when the Supra topped out. Again, it looked sounded as if the engine had more to give when it reached the top but was held back.
The GR Supra has a 3. Zero-to-sixty is timed at 4. Interestingly, the Autohan and dry lake bed attempts both superseded the miles per hour published limited top speed from Toyota. Still, the new Supra is a formidable package in the sportscar world.
