Ironically the two cars I had prior to my Zupra were a 2018 GT350 and a 2020 Camaro SS1LE.

Yes that big redline is a blast in the GT350 but it gets old because the car actually feels pretty slow...

The Supra is the second favorite car I have owned (and I have owned too many) aside from my FD RX-7's.

The weight, price, and power/features of the Z are all rumors. If the Z really did start at $35K, I suspect it will be a base car without upgraded things like wheels, brakes, technology, LSD, etc. ...

What about the new Hyundai Veloster N? Under $30K, good power and torque, not really a traditional 4 door, 6 speed manual, good handling. I'd take one over a Civic SI all day.

I can understand the coupe thing. The BRZ really is a fun little car you just have to decide if the lack of power will be an issue for you.

I know you own a Mustang but if you have not driven a...

If you are looking for more power right out of the gate, along with good handling I would go STI, Focus RS, or Golf R. Also consider Mustang GT w/performance pack or a Camaro SS.

In all seriousness, I think it still looks good, I am just not sure it looks better than the previous gen. I do like the new wheels though.

Chevy, VW, Honda, are just several companies in recent years who have reduced weight in their cars while adding more tech (and usually increasing power).

Yeah not sure either, there are far more WRX/STI's being modded than FT86's because there are way more on the road. The tuner/mod aftermarket for the WRX/STI is massive.

That's just silly. The WRX has a huge tuner/mod market. Have you seen what $1-2k gets you on the new WRX in terms of power?
