He says the Supra feels &#8220;like a fighter jet.&#8221; That&#8217;s pretty high praise for any sports car. However, it wasn&#8217;t all good news on the track either. Reid noted the brakes, gearbox, and exhaust note could be better.<\/p>\n<p>Reid makes a good point at the end of the video. <strong>He says even though the car isn&#8217;t perfect that it&#8217;s still a good sports car, and it should be celebrated as such.<\/strong> He also makes the case that cars like this aren&#8217;t about logic. There are other, faster options for roughly the same money as a new Supra. The new Supra and honestly all sports cars are about emotion.<\/p>\n<p>We have to agree with Reid. <strong>It&#8217;s an emotional purchase buying a sports car, especially a Supra, and that impulse is one worth celebrating.<\/strong> It&#8217;s nice to see Toyota embracing it&#8217;s sports car heritage with this model, even if it is flawed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"NEW Toyota Supra: Track And Road Review | Carfection 4K\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1QIoQd_mZ7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"NEW Toyota Supra: Track And Road Review | Carfection 4K\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1QIoQd_mZ7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Did Toyota Do With BMW&#8217;s Parts?
