Won't stop as quick? Best check what the actual is on that one, versus what it may feel like (wouldn't try till the brakes have been heat cycled for a 1000 miles or so, but...) The G brakes from 60 in 112', the GT-S in 130' (source R&T); from 80 the G in 199, the GT-S in 212. However, there is no denying that the Toyota weighs a grand less, and feels lighter.
Great car, but you don't see a lot of cross shopping between the two. Most Toyota fans and even non-fans spend time lamenting the farewell of the last gen Supra. When I look at the current Toyota line-up, and the plans to scrap the Celica and MR2 Spyder at year's end, I shake my head and wonder why do they even bother with F1?

yes, I agree....toyota is getting lame now. I think they just fired a bunch of top executives. I guess time will tell about the braking.
derek, whats your opinion on engine brakein? With my last car I broke her in as the owners manual states, but with this one im not. I read somewhere that with a new engine you need to seal the pistons by generating high pressure (high revs, rapid decelleration sp?).
