Makes it clear how much more power those engines are making over the 'book figure'
Thanks for that link. :thumbsup:

I just watched it - maybe Toyota are using the BMW US spec engine that is claimed to have 382bhp! :lol:
BMW always seem to underquote their power outputs, the B58 in the M140i seems to be pushing out 360/370 on a stock engine so a good 20 plus bhp over, having said that the Supra clearly has the legs over the Z4 so I imagine Toyota have been tweaking here and there :)

The Z4 - because you can see the sky
Suppose you need something to keep you entertained in the G29...

It’s always apparent when reading threads like this that the majority of vituperative attacks on the G29 come from E85 and E86 owners. Apparent but not surprising as they don’t appear to think much of the E89 either so why on earth would the like the G29.

Strange really as although the E86 isn’t a bad looking car (as coupes go) the E85 was criticised for its looks on launch and hasn’t improved much with age. I appreciate that owners tend to wear beer goggles but even they must admit it isn’t the best looking car in the World. To be fair neither is the G29 but the criticism it receives by some on this forum is out of all proportion to the way the car looks and performs.
