36: The Car That Killed Godzilla
#Supra #JGTC #Racing
As the battle worn #36 Toyota Supra skidded across the finish line,
It breathed its last breath to give Toyota what they had been wishing for, for decades, a trophy that said they had finally defeated Nissan.
This is the story of how a decades old rivalry culminated during Japan's golden era of touring car racing. A tale of revenge, of betrayal, and most importantly, of door to door racing.
This is the story of the Castrol Tom's Supra, the dominance of the Nissan GT-R, and the origins of the JGTC itself.
This is THE SQUIDD, a channel devoted to telling boring stories BOLDLY. Automotive icons, car company calamities, supercar legends and underdog heroes. All told through the lens of The Squidd, automotive content creator famous for being a dude with bad hair.

GT-R: How Japan Created an Unstoppable Monster
This is keeping me up past bed time
Funny enough, it was the "goofy" look of the 959 that made me fall in love with it as a kid. It stood out from everything Porsche had made up to that point, and I absolutely loved it. Growing up I came to appreciate just how incredible the car was-not just in design, but in its groundbreaking engineering for an 80s car. To this day, the 959 remains my all-time favorite Porsche.
My 3S-GTE 4th gen i like a lot!
You CAN NOT REFER TO A WHITE PERSON AS “PASTY!” Same as SL*ANT EYE, or DARKY”! I get it, but THEMS THE RULES YOU ALL WANT, as I HAVE ALMOST every comment SLIGHTLY near “PASTY” comment, and ITS BAN! SO FIX IT!
Whatever
WHAT AN INTRO!
Watch this then the supra one
Everything is right until he said LeBron lol
u know when I started this channel I thought only like, 16 year car dorks would watch, and I didn't think they'd know who Jordan even was. My mistake!
Lovely content. "Simply lovely". Cheers.
thank you so much!
Naming a car after a friend that passed would’ve been an honour. I don’t understand why he didn’t
I kind of identify with it. I don't like making money off the deaths of the recently deceased. You need to give their family and friends time to mourn before you get rich off their name.
When people say Toyota engines are only reliable because they're underpowered, lol.
1UZ dead reliable powerful as heck. 2JZ dead reliable powerful as heck. Their engines are typically under-tuned from the factory but it's not the sole reason they are reliable, they just engineer the heck outta their stuff and they run the same platforms and engines a long time so they can constantly improve them.
i didn't realise this video is 1 hour long 😌
Thanks for spending that much time with us!
@the.squidd it was worth it 👍🏼
You got that right Rod Millen is a Kiwi rallying God

what is the bgm from 7:00?
found it, [ケンとメリ(Ken and Mary)]ー by singer Buzz. the ad is called “Skyline of Love”
cause of accident? the driver accelerated aggressively followed by hard braking and steering into oncoming traffic - it´s obviously the manufacturers fault. not everywhere in the world you could sue for being too stupid to drive a car.
They sued because the car behaved extremely differently from any other passenger car at the time, and they never told their buyers. Porsche KNEW they were selling a dangerous platform and didn't warn their customers. That's the suit.
we need to say tnx for INITIAL D
Unpopular opinion: People buying SUVs is what killed rally homologation cars in the the automobile industry.
Even today, Mazda is still my favorite car manufacture. But due to the lack of sale numbers in China and the emissions regulations, we Chinese can only get hand on the boring cars. Can only dream about my own mx5
that's a shame! The MX-5 has awesome fuel economy and emissions I'm surprised you can't get them there. I've driven probably 100 different cars in my life and the MX-5 is among the top 3 I've ever laid hands on.
that first glimpse of that red and alloy cockpit is jaw dropping good.
Is the thumbnail image the automotive equivalent of a black gangbang?
he wasnt a jerk, he was just build different and people are bitter they wernt on his level
the isuzu comercial is something we need all car company to do
Leaving this comment here after owning an R32 GTST 2.5 years , before the end of this year I WILL upgrade it to a GTR! I’ll revisit this comment if i remember
Get it my friend! There's something special about owning a racing car homologation, there's just a sprinkle of magic when you sit inside. You can do it!
Sir is there any other super car whose acoustics are comparable or equal to LFA's exhaust note ? Please anybody enlighten ?
DUDE WE WEAR NIKES BECAUSE OF JORDAN, NOT LEFLOP! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Every now and then, the quality of the stuff people put on TH-cam stuns me. This is the kind of stuff I used to love seeing on free to air tv and I’m so glad it’s still being made, this time by passionate people like you and others. I’m not then biggest car person, but my dad was a washout racer for motorcycling in OZ, and he’s been a huge fan of your videos since I showed them to him a week ago. Thank you for making these documentaries.
That makes me so glad, tell your dad I said hi and think he's a badass! Thanks for watching us and sharing us!
Hello everyone....Ok,let me say it - Porsche Cars are AMAZING machines .....! One of the Best Cars EVER made....! Although they are 1 of the Ugliest and they have Strange Noise ... Yeah They are...Very Few of them are Good Looking like Carrera GT
Awesome content, buddy.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Carrot flashpoint? What?
0:51 goes so hard
that moment basically defined how I spokke and made every video I have made here since
Absolutely love your videos, please upload more!
we're working on one now, sorry for the long silence!
another phenomenal video as per usual
i can't promise they'll all be this good.
@ they could be half as good and twice as long I’d still watch them
Just recently stumbled across your videos this weekend while sick with the flu. I cannot stop watching your content!
get better soon my friend, glad I could be part of your recovery process!
Thank you so much for making this video. I always loved these cars but did not have an opportunity to read the legendary stories behind them outside of what was described in the GT video game series. Bravo.
that's why I make them, because I too didn't know the story, and once I learn it I just have to share it.
It's stretched mx5

I'm still waiting for the Jaguar e type episode bro
Now I get where Cyberpunk 2077 got their design ideas for the Riptide Terrier ^^"
Music is way too loud. Couldn't go past 2 minutes. Maybe it was worth it, who knows now. P.s. tried to jump forward (at 20.55) still too loud. It is supposed to be background music, but it's at the same volume of the voice. Too disturbing.
thanks for trying!
the DRIFT KING driving a dodge viper is wild
Damm they just need to sit you down at McLaren and play this video to convince you to buy one.
mk 5 being crossed out made laugh out loud😂😂
i try to insert some fun jabs in every video glad they make others laugh
🙇 🇯🇵
Great storyteller!
it takes a team! but thank you
That intro was fire
mazda didnt take on porsche, it was bmw who did and won....
the FC RX-7 was like... a literal carbon copy of the 944 and aimed directly at it. They definitely took on Porsche with the RX-7.
i literally stop watching when "we wear nikes because Lebron does"! WTF! 🤮
thank you so much for these amazing videos, can you share how create videos like this ? i thought i know cars but after watching your videos ........ I feel ashamed
no shame in learning my friend, its the most honorable thing to do. You expand your mind, you expand your concept of how big the world is and how small you are in it, you become more empathetic to others as you learn the context of their stories, never be ashamed you don't know something. only be embarrassed if you refuse to learn. and how I make them? I have been making videos and playing with cars for 20 + years. Just practice practice practice practice, and surround yourself with people who encourage you, humble you, and astonish you.
Didn't even come close
