Some are noisy and some look pretty good. It's amazing what cameras can do today, even 10-12 years ago people would have thought you were crazy talking about an ISO of 20K. The main thing is you got a good picture, a tiny bit of grain is nothing when you can get a picture like that. Cool pictures everyone. Was in Hope at Rodney's which is in the middle of nowhere, and it was after a cold front with clear dry air and very dark. I brought the camera and tripod predicting nice star pictures but when it all came down to it I was too tired and it was in the low 20's, I was too tired to even drag the camera out. Another guy working with us (Craig S) did bring out his camera and set it up for some Milkyway pictures, he did well and got some really nice shots. Now that I am home and little rested I regret not trying to get a pic, I have been lazy with the pictures and need to get off my but. But I can't lie, I was worn out every night last week. 2 Quote

CECAA850 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 That's the 4 banger rebadged BMW isn't it? Kind of disappointed that they stuck the Supra name on it. Quote

Vastly different from the original, however there has been a lot of hype and discussion about this for some time... I guess we'll see Quote

I worked at a Toyota dealership when the original generation Supra was in production. At the time it was their statement piece. Toyota put all their cutting edge technology into the engine and drive train. On this one I'm not sure how much influence Toyota even had on the engine itself. The whole car is basically a re-badged BMW Z4. If you look at the interior there are BMW cues everywhere. I predict that Supra purists (the cult) will turn their noses up at this one. Those that don't know the history of the original car and are looking for a sporty Toyota should like it. I believe that Toyota just discontinued their "86" which was a re-badged Subaru BRZ to make room for the Supra. Quote

richieb Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 === new car platforms, particularly those of a “niche” market have become far too expensive for many car makers to go at it alone.So they team up - Toyota/Subie - Toyota/BMW - Mazda/Toyota. Even arch rivals GM and Ford teamed to design the new 10 speed automatic for the Mustang and Camaro. Hell, the engineering firm Ricardo out of England designs many of BMWs engines. They did the inline 6 for my K1600 bike. Quote
