I can't decide if I love it or hate it! (The Supra!...nobody likes the Shen in short course format!)

I like it. Is the car really louder inside than out? I wonder if you can buy the track in itunes?

I've never driven that layout, thankfully.

No kidding! I mean, I don't particularly love the shen or the carousel but I hate the bus stop. Best part of the track is going over the blind crest.

I saw the Supra at the DC Car show. It was meh for me. Transmission sounds great. Very German...

Just read about it this week. bmw part #s all over the place. Nothing wrong with the brand sharing stuff I guess but this surely isnt the supra.

It's no more Supra than the abomination GM is calling the up optioned $50k+ Blazer! I read someone refer to it as the Camaro of SUVs...uh what?

and yet also, other parts NOT all over the place - they left a lot on the table for tuning companies: fake vents which can be converted to functional for power gains, airbox shaped such that a stiffening brace can be added / integrated seamlessly (and threaded holes pre-drilled for said brace), stiffening of rear hatch to accept a wing but none OEM, leaving a dedicated space to mount a diff cooler etc etc. and of course the de-tuned engine.

some chatter about how toyota did this either to A) have low hanging fruit for the next version, or more likely, B) make $ by selling aftermarket tuning bits their own damnselves.
