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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @the.squidd
      @the.squidd 11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      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.
