If I am buying a car that is sold as a performance sport car, yeah I would like to know its Nurburgring performance. You know, that tells about "engagement" of the "sports" car with the road. I don't need that clutch to engage with my car ... anymore.

Slow cars need manual transmission IOT not be blinding boring, and slow.
I find the engagement at knowing when, or when not to shift at any given RPM.
NBR=Marketing hype.
Maybe my car should be the "Queensland raceway" edition, tested and tuned at QR in 35°C heat, I could get a sticker or decal to show my friends.
I'm also not seeing any autos at the pointy end of any 86/BRZ series here.
Enjoy your Supra, if Toyota made it I might buy one.
