Nice option if you don't mind having a company do a conversion on your new Supra...

Re: New Toyota Supra with manual transmission!
Doesn't this use the ZF 8hp series transmission? From what I've heard, it's a pretty nice auto.

Re: New Toyota Supra with manual transmission!
The 8HP is pretty nice, but it can get confused during rolling stop maneuvers. At least with FCA programming, they hold 3rd until shifting to 1st at a stop. This results in some pretty terrible downshifts into 1st or 2nd when the vehicle catches on to the fact that coming to a full stop was never the intention.

Yeah, I've heard Chrysler's tuning has been mediocre. My buddy has one in a 3 series. Thing is phenomenal, does almost everything you want it to do. I almost think putting a 6 speed in there would be a downgrade. Then again..if its properly tuned.

So now we know that Toyota is going to put a manual transmission in the 2023 Supra. Score for the manuals!
