Is anyone else on the fence due to the engine choice?

Not to mention the extra work taken away from the brakes/suspension, tyres, etc. by having the lower weight... the FT would decimate the 370Z IMO...

No doubt.

Hey, I'm not ragging on the MR2 ok? I know it has loads of grip. I will be the first to tell you (and don't let the Supra guys hear me say it) that now barring the LFA, it is the best sports car Toyota has ever made.

Don't try to insult me.

3MZ + W20 MR2 = very, very, very appealing idea. (fricken money... grrr...)

I wasn't aiming it at anyone, I was merely stating a fact.

Nice try, the MR2 is great , i've driven one of my friend's many times but definitely not better then the Supra, sorry.

Of course this may just sound like a Supra fan, but i am honestly just saying comparing both of them side by side, the Supra wins in every category, of course i'm talking about the 2jz-gte, i've never driven the 2jz-ge before.

Supra- best sport car ever made by Toyota

LFA- best sport car ever made by Lexus
