Literally, need to put it on Sports mode and get that exhaust crackle. After driving the Supra whole day I drove 86 home and dear god... I love how nimble it was. Supra might have double of torque and you can feel that POWA... but 86 is over 600lbs lighter and that weight is noticeable. MT on 86 is excellent especially kouki model w shorter ratio match perfectly w low hp. After driving TRD 86, I literally consider trading my old BRZ and buy new 86 or BRZ.
At the end of the day, it's up to your taste and what you want from the car.
With that said, if Toyota do bring out 4 cyl (B48) w MT AND could shave another 200~300lbs, I'll gladly trade my car.

I am interested in the high rigidity of the supra; comparable to the LFA. Did you notice how wide the door sills were? Do you think the rigidity played a large role in the handling?
