In the deep dark recesses of the idrive you can put the car in Dyno mode so it doesn't have a spaz on a 2 wheel dyno. That's what happened with mine.

He's awful isn't he. Absolutely unwatchable and his stupid arm movements make me want to dismember him.

It certainly means it has plenty of go. It batters up to the speed limiter with ease (so I'm told 🙄) and overtaking traffic is a doddle.

He reminds me of an ape. All arms and legs, and occasionally looks like he's trying to take a shit.

Somebody will now comment on my own efforts no doubt as I've dared to offer an opinion. Probably James or Tim.

I hope Autocar get to test one soon.

I'm sure it'll be slower than the C&D numbers though

Nice Vid from CarWow. Surprised by the Qtr mile times, 12.0sec for the Supra and 12.5sec for the Z4. M240i is quoted at 13.6 with the same power as the Z4 and it's slightly lighter. Wonder where the Z4 finds the extra time, better traction?

Shame his mum put out :lol:
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

His content is good he’s just irritating as fuck. It’s a shame, needs to become a producer and go behind the scenes with non irritating presenter.

Yeah I wouldn't disagree with that actually. Especially the get-him-the-fuck-away-from-the-camera part :lol:

No separation between the boot and the cabin. What were they thinking? Also agree with the engine sound synthesis; it’s got a straight-six :!:

I’ve seen two in the wild now and I still have not made up my mind about them.

For similar money I’d have the Alpine.

The deep dish wheels and white with black skills make it look a lot nicer than the early photos I’ve seen, and the angle they showed the duck tail from was VERY A80 supra in my eyes. I’ve not seen one in the metal yet though.

That “boot” is very silly.
