The 370z came with 245 F and 275/285 R in certain models at 330-350hp as well.

so i see other cars with the roughly the same hp do come with similar size tires. i just dont understand if it has the same amount of power as the out going Z4 why would they bother to put bigger wheels on.

If I had to take the 401 daily, I think I'd go automatic too. Luckily I'm a 20min drive from work, with the option of taking local roads.

And it sucks that southern Ontario is generally straight line roads... Finding the right road to enjoy the BRZ on was not always easy...

I honestly thought it was the FT-1 at first glance. Toyota is really sticking to the concepts with the LC500 and now the Supra if those turn out to be true.

I would wait till the official pictures come out... That magazine has been printing various Supra rumour incarnations since the early 2000s.

If accurate, those specs are almost identical to the Nissan 370Z and those that thought that this car was going to be a competitor for the Corvette or 911 are going to be disappointed. If these are true then it will be a competitor for the Nissan 370Z, Camaro, Mustang and maybe the Cayman. I just do not think the price point will be competitive with the first three.

I had actually wrote this car off a long time ago but if they can sell it for anywhere near what the 370Z is selling for then they will once again have my attention.
