How about the fact that this car is faster than its target competition a Porsche Cayman S 718, a car which in its most basic stripper configuration is $20k more? And even slightly equipped is $30k more??? |

The Supra might just be magical to drive.. but it's a Z4... so probably won't be.

The supped up Civic was faster than these new cars: 718 Cayman S (7:46), the Audi TTRS (7:48), Lotus Exige (7:48), BMW M2 Competition (7:52), etc, not to mention a whole host of other cars just five to ten years ago we would car supercars or hypercars like a Bugatti and a Zonda (7:44) or Audi R8, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc. And what if the time they release is 7:38? Then will you sigh in relief?

I still have no interest in this car. For 35-40K.. maybe. Actually, I'd be far more interested just if it were a Toyota effort vs BMW. I refuse to ever touch another modern BMW.

The ZF-8 is a great auto (in my current car) and when wanting manual mode I'm fine with paddle shifting. Choosing a compromise I'd take the inline 6 and live with the auto over a 4 banger. |

You also are not going to buy a Supra under $50K anytime soon. The first 1500 will be $56K Release Models. I am not in the market for either of these cars. I like the Supra more now that I have seen the released version. However, if I was going to pick one or the other, it would be the Cayman (even with the PDK). Honestly though, if the Supra was an all Japanese made car then I would probably move it ahead of the German made Porsche. (Personal bias based on 48 years of experience owning cars from various countries!)

Idk about all that. Those things are seriously respectable, even on more technical tracks. Can't wait to see actual testing of the new supra. |

The big mistake that I see here is simply that Toyota named and marketed this car as a Supra successor. I have said all along that it may be a great car but it is so far removed from what was the Supra was that the name no longer applies. Oh and it is BMW which I have always despised but that is a personal view and does not take away from the yet to be proven abilities of the car.

Instead I just took a V8 with a 6MT that passes any new Porsche south of a GT3.. for less than the new Supra costs.

A very quick look at weights (not verified ) shows the 2JZ at 700 pounds and the FA20 at 377. There is half you weight difference all at once.

However, even the regular ZL1 is a serious piece of hardware at the track. The ZL1 1LE is far superior, but also a *terrible* street car.
