Shiv Pathak’s company, OpenFlash Performance, specializes in ECU tunes for performance cars, from Miatas to Ferraris.

The OpenFlash Supra’s 18-inch wheels not only look good, they allow a taller sidewall to soak up bumps and offer compliance around corners. Yokohama Advan A052 tires sized 275/40-18 wrap around Apex EC-7R forged wheels finished in satin bronze.

The stock 2021 Supra 3.0 runs a 12.1-second quarter-mile. The OpenFlash Performance car does it in 11.6 seconds, with a 60-mph time of just 3.3 seconds.

We love the stock Supra for its exhaust grumble and willingness in corners. We love Pathak’s version even more.
