Aside from the Front Turn Signal Coolers and the Door Striker Plate Coolers, are there other fake vents?
My M Coupe, like just about every fairly recent M Car, had fake vents on the front fenders, so I'll forgive Toyota if those are fake too. |

in Toyota's defense, they said the fake vents are for after markets, they can all be popped to be functionally for whatever aftermarket wants to put on them...

I still haven't seen anyone could do 12.0 sec 1/4 and 3.0 sec 0-60 as claimed when the Supra just came out. Maybe that was just Toyota marketting bs.

I just think there's a lot more to the story besides Toyota cancelling his warranty on a steering rack because tune. For most of these YouTube people there's ALWAYS more to the story than meets the eyes. Wouldn't put it pass anyone of these YouTube guys to actually twist the story around to get a few more clicks, IMO. I recall some Tuber douche getting caught red-handed by a few motorcycle guys when he was doing burn-outs in his Lambo on a BUSY MOUNTAIN ROAD and nearly side-swiped a couple of riders. One of his burn-outs came within INCHES of hitting a motorcyclist head-on. My personal experience with most of these "personalities" are they're all douches in real life and whatever it is that they do, getting clicks is the first and foremost priority. So believe nothing, question everything is my motto when it comes to videos like this. They offer nothing more than entertainment IMO.

For example, MotorWeek did 12.8 sec 1/4 although their time tends to be higher vs. other publication, but a fair number would be 12.5, NOT 12.0 flat. Also I've seen a couple of vid where they drag race the Supra vs. a Mustang GT and they are basically neck and neck, and I know for a fact that the Mustang is no where near 12.0 1/4. |

I don't think I said directly that "Toyota claimed ...". I was implying their marketing department was juicing up the number through a couple of vid from a third party. You can't be naive to think Toyota had nothing to do with it. The timing was too much of a coincidence. Just right after the Supra was released, you got a vid that did 12.0 1/4 but then nobody was able to replicated that once the Supra was released to the general public.
