I agree the Supra in its current form is NOT a $80-100K car without some major upgrades, but for $60K it should be an exceptional value.
I'm excited to see how Toyota builds upon the Surpa. I'm sort of "blah" for how Chevy will shave a few more seconds off of straight line performance with a super charger above speeds of 120+ when that isn't usable in 99% of situations.
Also, the C8 is damn ugly. I can't wait for reviews of the car on the street outside of a track environment. I'm still on team Supra.

The C8 will be a better platform for performance. It’ll get better traction. It’ll handle better. It’ll make more power from the factory. The Supra has the tuning advantage because it comes with a turbo. By the time someone puts $10+k into the Supra it may be faster in a straight line from a roll, but the C8 is the better platform overall. I’ll even wager the C8 will be more enjoyable and engaging with a DCT, with the mid-engine, with a torque NA engine, with the shorter hood, with better traction and handling, and with a more cockpit interior.
