Saw this at the track yesterday
He recently bought at an auction house. He wasn’t babying around the track either.
he has already removed the mufflers. So open side exhaust. Sounded like an animal
oh and he pulled it to the track with this!
my times are getting better as I learn this new car and trust the brakes more and more
tires after 40 2 mile laps

2021 Supra. mostly stock although I have turned up target boost 20%
great great track car right out of the box. the 2021 is much tightened up from the inaugural 2020.
Going to add racing brake fluid and probably r888's before next go around in November. was chasing tire pressure a bit, track started almost wet from cool fog 50's and then burned off and 70degs w full sun.
long term more aero, upgraded brakes, 500+ at wheels, sway bar adj suspension.

You were at Dominion!
We used to race there but the track really needs some improvements.....I still liked it though, especially because it's 30 min from my house!
I still end up there every spring doing a shake-down of the car and testing anything I've done over the winter. That guy (and truck) was there this past spring when I was testing. The manager I know (Jimmy L) said the guy had just gotten the car a week earlier.
So, do you have any lap times? LOL

If you can find a good as in real good suspension guy it will help a lot.
A friend of mine moved to NC years ago with alot of car knowledge. Opened a small shop and within a few years was tweaking a lot of the Daytona cars. It is more skill than most have, and made him super happy not having to run a body shop business.

Yes dominion. It gets a bad rap but it’s a lot of fun. Plus they have 40! Member days. Let me know if you plan on going again I am probably going to join as a member for 2021. Will do one more in Nov
i ran several 138’s. Bone stock I am still learning to trust the car and my skill having just bought it 1500 miles ago! Lol. The car is a lot faster than the meat in the seat. But I am hanging w and passing track prepped some Porsche’s, z51, m5 (too heavy).

Drive a BMW 335IS now but always had more fun tracking an ITB Mustang. You can have some great times when you don't have to worry about
looping a 50K ride. Loved passing the old Mercedes Kompressor at Atlanta on track days in my $500 motor doner Mustang.
