Yes, yes, the lighter nose and better balance of the 2.0 Supra vs the 3.0 is good. I just don’t want Toyota to skimp on the engine. Especially with the 2021 3.0 getting a power bump, there is plenty of room to turn the wick up on the 2.0. Change my mind! |

i dont see the 86 going anywhere. imo, there is just too much of a price differences between the two for the 2.0 Supra to fill.
Japan 86: 2,671,900 Yen or 24,776 USD 2.0 Supra: 4,990,741 Yen or 46,278 USD differences of 2,318,841 or 21,502 USD France 86: € 28,490 Yen or 30,941 USD 2.0 Supra: € 53,900 or 58,534 USD differences of € 25,410 or 27,593 USD |

I thought the Supra comparison wasn't the best apples to apples comparison, as we all know the Supra is $10k cheaper and the Vette will easily average much more money.
The Vette has always been the bargain super car, which was compared to the Viper domestically, and to the 911, R8 and other entry level exotics, yet now, they have done a lot to truly make it comparable to those other super cars. Compared to its rivals, the Corvette was always difficult to handle, and it was harder to put the power to the ground. It wasn't as refined. It wasn't as customizable. It didn't have the latest technology. Now the Corvette is mid engine, so it handles better, puts the power to the ground better, and it looks more exotic. It has a new dual clutch transmission, which elevates its technology to match other exotics and places it more in line with them as a track weapon. Lastly, they raised the bar big time on the interior. It is fully customizable, while also having the flair that is typically seen in supercars. All this was done at a fraction of the price, but again, the Supra is not the competition; it is those exotics. The 911 has been the bargain supercar, but now, the Vette is a real threat.

The Supra will also destroy the base Vette with a tune and what not, but probably not in lap times, but I can't say that for sure, yet all that doesn't really matter. The Vette just got that much more exotic, but the Supra is just another GT car, so 0-60 times aside, that is what we are talking about.

Probably, the B48 already has a 225kW/300hp version. Just like the B58, it'll get upgraded. Unfortunately, demand could be low for the first model year if everyone waits for the second model year.

DSport Mag had the 4 cylinder Supra on a their Dynojet. 345whp/359tq = 6cylinder. 217whp/225tq = 4cylinder. This is a hard sell for $40k... I honestly hope they some how messed up the dyno operation. lol

Seems low. Most have put the torque over 400 for the 3.0T. I think those numbers look particularly low for the 2.0T. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.car...no-horsepower/ So we don’t know the price yet, so no point in anyone whining yet. This is Supra deja vu where we had doubters who ate their words later. Even if this is powered similar to cheaper cars, it is a luxury car. That has to be accounted for in the price, whatever it turns out to be.
