Which Sounds Louder, The New Toyota Supra Or The C8 Corvette?

One might have thought that the 2020 Corvette Stingray’s exhaust note would be much louder than the 2020 Toyota Supra, but as it turns out, that’s not the case.

The C8 Corvette is powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 located right behind the cabin. By comparison, the Supra uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder mounted up front.

Eager to see just how loud the two cars are, a YouTuber grabbed a decibel meter and placed it behind the two sports cars’ exhausts. After a rev-off, the Supra hit a peak of 108.3 decibels while the Corvette maxed out at 102.9 decibels.

This is a bit of a surprise, to say the least, as we’ve driven the Supra and didn’t think it was all that loud. Furthermore, the only pleasant sound that the exhaust emits are the pops and cracks. Other than that, it’s quite bland. The same can be said about the engine. It is muffled and, from the driver’s seat, is drowned out by the sound of the exhaust.

By comparison, the C8 Corvette, complete with the available performance exhaust, has a much more brutal and intoxicating exhaust note but does lack the cracks of the Supra. So, while the Supra’s exhaust may be louder, the V8 of the Corvette sounds much better from inside the car than the Supra’s six-cylinder does.

Nissan Xterra Driver Sideswipes And Flips Toyota Prius, Then Flees The Scene

Shocking dashcam footage out of California showing a three-car crash seemingly triggered by a serious case of road rage.

The video was captured on Stevens Creek Freeway in Sunnyvale, California not too far from San Jose and shows a silver Nissan Xterra aggressively tailgating a Toyota Prius in the center lane.

The Prius and the Xterra drive past the cammer, with the Nissan driver seen slamming on the brakes at one stage to avoid rear-ending the Prius. Before long, the Nissan driver turns into the left lane but rather than simply passing the Prius, instead aggressively sideswipes it. This heavy shunt sends the Prius into a Mazda MPV in the right-most lane of the highway.

Both the Prius and the Mazda MPV slam into a concrete wall on the side of the freeway. The impact causes the Toyota to roll over two times while the MPV slides to a halt. As this is happening, the Xterra lifts up onto two wheels before hitting the center median. While the SUV must have suffered some kind of damage as a result, the driver appears to aggressively accelerate down a freeway exit and away from the scene.

It is understood that the cammer has sent the footage to the California Highway Patrol and authorities should follow up with it.

The injuries sustained to the motorists involved remain unclear, although someone on the Reddit thread suggested there wasn’t “a huge medical response,” perhaps indicating that no one was seriously injured.

It remains unclear what happened to the Xterra. One Redditor asserts that it was found by the police not far from the scene of the accident, but it is claimed the driver may have fled.

2021 Toyota Supra Is More About The Handling Than The Extra Power

While the 2021 Toyota Supra doesn’t really look any different than the 2020 model year car, it does benefit from a series of upgrades that have considerable impacts on how it performs, as Matt Farah recently discovered.

The read headline for the 2021 Supra relates to the engine. While it retains the 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder mill of the 2020 model, Toyota says this engine now pumps out 382 hp between 5,800 rpm and 6,500 rpm while churning out 368 lb-ft (499 Nm) of torque between 1,800 rpm and 5,000 rpm. These figures represent gains of 47 hp and 3 lb-ft over last year’s model.

In other reviews of the 2021 Supra it’s been stated that it feels quicker than the 2020 model, but Farah says he doesn’t really feel much of a difference.

There are some improvements that have been made which are more noticeable. For example, Toyota re-engineered the bump stops on the Supra so it is now more composed on bumpy road surfaces and feels more planted to the tarmac.

Other modifications have been made by Toyota. For example, they worked on increasing roll resistance and enhancing cornering stability of the Supra 3.0 and, alongside the new front and rear bump stops, achieved this with lightweight aluminum braces that tie the strut towers to the radiator support and new damper tuning. Additionally, the programming for the electric power steering, Adaptive Variable Suspension, Vehicle Stability Control, and Active Differential has been tweaked.
