. I'm Thomas and I'm James, and this is a bit of a controversial test. it's because the Mustang GT is technically the weaker price-wise, but it has more power, yes, but they're both rear-wheel drive and they both have automatic transmissions and they're both equally tired, so it's time to promote in slow motion, yes, Thomas o We could do it at normal speed, yes, fair

racing and track tests like this are made possible by our sponsor, Crown Russ Control, if you don't already know Crown as a company committed to protecting new and used vehicles of rust, something they have been doing. doing in North America for over 30 years, you will see that James has made a lot of bad decisions in his life, one of the few smart things he has done was get the WRX crowns from him.

You can find out how to protect your car via a link in the description and if you're considering it, things get busy in the winter so book soon to battle the Mustang GT like the Supra, it's a legend by name and is under immense pressure to maintain that state with each iteration, a consistent performance bargain. It's one of the cheapest ways to get into a v8 and even with the performance package and some Ford factory suspension upgrades, this is still over ten grand cheaper than the opposing Supra and unlike the performance package of the GT that we recently presented on the channel.

This has a 10-speed automatic transmission to match the 8-speed Supras, a transmission that should manage to generate 420 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels, crushes the pressure admirably, in fact, because not only is this super supposed to be the return. As an icon, it also costs a lot more than that Mustang, so we're excited to see what it's capable of. There's a lot of controversy surrounding this car and how much of it is a BMW and how much of it is a Toyota, and we'll get to that. Get to that in a minute, but all you need to know now is that Toyota says it makes 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque from a turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine and that, like the Mustang, It has rear-wheel drive and an automatic transmission.

review

s, track testing, and a lot of nonsense, so subscribe and ring the bell on the Mustang g/t at the drag strip. Ten-speed automatic traction. control off I mean drag strip mode this is going to be aggressive. I have a version of the Toyota Supra. I actually don't know what's going to happen here. This is a fast car. It has been a test bench that more than what Toyota says, more than 400 pound-feet of torque and it is light. I have more power than him, okay, we are both rear wheel drive and the dinosaurs have proven that is underrated, so I have more power on paper, but who knows what happens when you go up against him in street conditions.

I'm excited to see what happens, okay, I'm going to win this. I'm going to win this for Germany. Japan is better than me, they can work. Oh my god, that's close. I don't put it there because I know things got confusing. legs that are on the other side of the line oh hey how are you feeling? I have your top setup for me. What I wanted you to win. Did you do it that way? I could look at the back of that hot car instead of the front in my honor as it is. I'm happy to have one that feels like the muscle beats matter every time.

Okay, sure, sure, you track this, yeah. Mustang GT Performance Pack 1 460 horsepower through that glorious sounding Coyote engine. I have more power than that Supra and me. I even have rear seats, so it's more practical and no less sporty. Very good, the Toyota Supra. I'm waiting to follow this thing. It moves in a straight line. engine and unlike the Supra, this one is naturally aspirated, meaning I have no weight for the turbos to wind it up, it's natural, its organic turbochargers are not something you think about the transmission is good, I like it a lot. The downshifts are very quick, but you can I don't have it in manual and that Mustang that James is in front of me in, you can get an Emmanuel, the sound is very synthetic, but it's definitely 6 MW inline, inline 6.

If you want to drive this real super, you can do it with our club cars. is the one that connected us to this for this test, you can actually choose from a whole fleet of cars, this is one of them, you can take this real Supra on the road, now let me prove that I am the p2 of this one, it has pipes Cup. on it and this one has the ps4 SS and they still feel great, they're obviously not as sticky, but as good as these PS forces are, that doesn't mean you can't have fun sliding with them through the direction, it's not as intuitive.

It doesn't compare to the Camaros we've driven, but I wonder how it compares to that Supra. Thomas, so we've all heard the stories, but the Toyota Supra is just a rebadged BMW. He said how true it is that I did well. I did some reading and it looks like the suspension components are a mix of Zed for BMW 330 with some Toyota stuff added. What matters to me is that the shocks have been tuned by Toyota and that means that while I found out that it said this thing bounces a lot, the suspension is fully tuned, it's stiff but compliant, it's well damped, the springs match those shocks perfectly.

In sport mode, whatever adjustment they made, they did it correctly and all the systems off at the front are absolutely perfect, the oversteer is very sharp on input. it's so controllable and so predictable and then the oversteer on a variable grade that can go up to a hundred percent full block, which is it, if you want, you can just turn on the rear tires and make a very driven Zed for me. I know they share components, but this car is adapted to the pavement in a way that that one is not. I don't know if it's a job with BMW or Java Toyota, but I can tell you that it doesn't matter because if you have a Supra and you have a trick, you will have fun and drive very fast.

It has the factory-applied Ford Performance suspension and is quite aggressive. It's cheaper than the Magna, but it's still upgraded so that when you take it to the track it feels good. and flat in the curves. The nice thing about this car compared to the Supra is that the components on it actually match the badge on the front. One thing that always surprises me about Mustangs is that the grip at the front is so good, I wish? that these had Recaro seats, yes, but these are all optional extras and if you don't get them, you can lower the price.

This is a performance bargain compared to the Supra. You know, we joke and make fun of this for being Mainly a BMW. I'm as guilty of that as everyone else, but honestly, at some point you stop caring about whatever badge the car has on the front. They are the engineers who came together for the Japanese or German newspaper and created a car in me. hands right now, it's fun to drive and really fast on the track. I absolutely love the way this car handles its superiority on the

race

track. We know I'm supporting this. I like the Supra, but I want this. take it on the hot laps and see what Thomas does with it.

Okay, it's time for hot laps and Thomas is going to start the Supra. We will have a warm-up lap, three fast laps and a recovery lap because that is the Time Attack style. that's all the time he'll have, okay, you'll be looking at the fastest lap of each car and I started with the Supra because I was eager to see what it could do. I found this very easy to drive consistently, in fact, from my three hot runs. laps there were only two tenths of a second difference between them since I would like to rotate I found myself very active on the wheel it was very fun I also usually leave a window open so as not to die from the heat but the bumps at high speeds and the Supra were so bad that I thought I was going to get a concussion, let's look at the lap, okay, so now it's time for the Mustang, these cars always impress me and this one was no different, however I had to drive it. a little different from the super because it liked to understeer a little more at the entrance of the curve and in the ten speeds, while getting lost because the ratios are very close and you end up in the wrong gear for the curve when you downshift also before commenting .

I ran a quick lap with the windows up. I almost died from the heat and the lap you're watching is still the fastest, so enjoy it, okay, laughs. Can we talk about this? It's quite controversial. Yes, it's rude to drive those superbugs. Now in the Prado story, yes, okay, how do you want to know the return? Yeah, okay, here we go Supra is a new kid on the block, super he new kid on the block, what you want most is the super person, so that's what we did. We have done the Mustang GT with the pp2 in the cup - with a cup - I was very fast 112 yes, yes, okay, you are ready, yes, the Mustang did it 115 0.18, good, not bad, what it has makes sense for that car with these tires, yes. makes it a little slower than em - comp on the same toes yes yes yes yes okay Supra yes 115 point zero six super winds super winds super winds but I was a little disappointed in the performance of this, honestly it's not that fast like I thought it should No, it makes sense, it's a second slower than the m2 comp, yes, and like the m240's engine, yes, but it was surpassed by the Honda Civic Type R, which went backwards, so the Mustang takes the drag strip, as well as the muscle pony car, yes, yes, and the.

Supra takes the truck, seems fair, seems fair. I don't think there are people rioting yet, thanks for watching.
