GRC Bros

Welcome to the build thread for 2 2024 GR corollas (premium and circuit)

I just picked up my GRC today, my brother @Tigerian got his the end of January.

We were both interested in them forever ago when they were first announced but only recently have they started to show up around here. @Tigerian had a deposit on one since June 2023.

I’ve been looking for a fun car for a while and originally was contemplating the GR Supra. I actually had my name on a 45th mikkan blast manual but between some of the stories I’ve seen on the forums and only partial tuning ability in 2020+ cars I wasn’t 100% sold. Also add in whatever your opinion may be on bmw.

Once @Tigerian car arrived, it was way more impressive than what you see online after actually seeing and experiencing it in person.

A few days later after he finally gave in and let me drive it, I noticed a circuit popped up in allocation. Figured I’d call and make sure it was spoken for, fully expecting 0% chance of getting it. To my surprise, it was still available so I dropped the Supra allocation and switched to the GRC, which was due to arrive in a month or two.



So far about 250 miles in and zero regrets. It’s exactly what I was looking for. @Tigerian is at about 1600 miles.

I’ve never been one to let something sit and be a collector item, so there will be many more miles to come.

2024 GRC Premium picked up begrudgingly in the snow after a blizzard on 1/20/24

I guess I’ll be cool and save a spot too just incase

 

The Supra is a finally tuned track machine that will thrash cars worth three times it's price.

The GaRolla.... Well... It's fun personified. It grabs technical tarmac and back roads like a dream. Put Subarus on notice. Makes Z Cars sweat in their sleep.

And it's tunable. Although frankly out of the box it has plenty of firepower. There is such a thing as too much horsepower for a platform.

Phenomenal cars. Simply stunning.

 

Sweet!

 

*its



Also, they do look fabulous. But, I doubt any Z owners are wishing they'd bought a $40K Corolla instead.

 

I finally saw one of these in person last week. They look good. I'll be interested to see how the builds go.

 

Possessive. "It's" is correct.

The 3 z owners in the country just might after chasing a GaRolla around some good mountain or country roads.

 

Incorrect.

It's is the abbreviation for "it is", or "it has."

Its is possessive.

Is this a Friday thread?

sweet cars fellas

 

had to copy the color as well haha

so here is the question who is going to rally one and who is going to lower one lol

 

Well I live on a gravel road, so mines definitely the rally one lol

I doubt @Tigerian will lower his, too many crappy roads in town

 

Yeah zero chance of lowering happening. I'm nervous enough as is dealing with certain spots around town.

 

Sorry for the off-topic bs.

Sorry @Shellshock

 

@Squatting Pigeon we have found your people.

 

Pff it's a build thread most of these are just off topics anyways. Plus @CygnusX191 is deserving of shame for not knowing "its" is the possessive version. lol

 

TW is getting sophisticated these days haha

 

Also parking already has enough potential risk of tragedy

 

Shit. If you ever saw the shenanigans that go down at the the WI events, you'd never mistake me for being sophisticated.

We do have fun, though.
