It's just a really great platform.вЂќДЄsked about the modifications sheвЂ™s added to her new whip, Huertas confessed that the duo enjoyed their A91 stock for the first half year before lowering it. But, when you see the car in person вЂ“ and IвЂ™ve let people sit in the car, drive it or take it on the track вЂ“ I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it. I don't know if it's because of the big following base, but itвЂ™s fun when people always compliment or recognize the car, you know? And it's crazy, because when they first announced it, there was so much controversy because it was a BMW collaboration, and people were so upset that it wasnвЂ™t a 2JZ. вЂњThe Mk4 (which was the Supra before this Supra) had this legendary engine, the 2JZ, that has a lot of respect in the track community.

So, it was like fingers crossed and I felt like it didn't disappoint us at all. When we got the car, we were really happy with it because itвЂ™s not the kind of car you get to test drive before you buy. We paid a little more вЂ“ around $4,000 вЂ“ because we got the limited edition A91, and it was a special order. вЂњItвЂ™s probably the best car you can get at this price point there's nothing I can find on the market that handles the same way a Supra does. The Supra has a great foundation to mod, a great engine (B58), and one of the best transmissions out there.

It had to be moddable, not just being able to do stuff to the car, but also have access to those parts. вЂњOur criteria were that it had to be nimble, handle well вЂ“ especially coming from the BRZ which is really good on handling - and fun on the track. вЂњWe considered a lot of cars like a GT4,вЂќ said Huertas. She tells us what she loves most about her vehicle and a little more about her addictive and expensive hobby. Four months later at Don Valley North Toyota, Huertas was the first in Canada to receive the 2021 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 A91 Edition in Refraction (an A91-exclusive blue hue). Limited to only 1,000 units, Huertas called ToyotaвЂ™s head office and every dealership in the GTA inquiring about the unreleased vehicle.

Feeling slightly skeptical, the couple decided to wait that is, until Toyota announced the A91 Edition. The all-new generationвЂ™s redesign, however, was not what the couple were expecting co-developed with BMW, the collaboration uses the same engine, parts, and platform as the German automakerвЂ™s Z4 roadster. ThatвЂ™s when they heard rumours that Toyota was reintroducing the legendary Supra, famed for its iconic Mk4, which was discontinued in 1998. Craving more horsepower, things came to a head with the BRZ leaving the duo feeling unsure if they wanted to continue investing in more mods, or change to a different platform.

When the pair arenвЂ™t working on their cars, theyвЂ™re known to be out on the racetrack or at car meets, and hanging out with friends who share the same interest.Д«eing big car fans, the duo have daily drivers (a Nissan Rogue for Huertas, a BMW 335i for Lagachu), plus cars they use for the track, including their modified Subaru BRZ Inazuma Edition. Huertas and her husband, Hirak Lagachu, also spend their spare time modifying their vehicles. The car enthusiast works as the office manager of a Markham-based supplier of performance auto parts, specifically aftermarket parts - such as tires and exhaust systems - for track-orientated vehicles. Stephanie Huertas, of Vaughn, lives and breathes cars. INTRO: When it comes to purchase decision-making, sometimes its driven by need other times by want and the draw of a nostalgic and revered name.
