It's hard to argue against it. Gob tons of torque and power. The ZF tranny is sublime. And the car handles well too -- as long as your right foot respects what the car is capable of.

I didn’t bite. Congrats, 68style.

roastpuff 03-06-2024 08:52 PM

Now that's a better midlife crisis. Congrats!

underscore 03-06-2024 08:57 PM

I had my doubts but I didn't want to be rude about it juuuuust in case. The Supra is a much better choice. Congrats!

I was telling the truth about the mid-life crisis though!!!

congratz!!

the gr supra is one of the few sports car that look exotic without actually being a exotic car, the front end looks so low and nice, actually had white one following me this morning, I kept staring at my rearview mirror the whole time, it looks so good, especially much better in person than on paper

I want a GTS, but at over 200k after tax I can't stomach it.

Uh.. no. This is buying a M240i with a manual. Which they did make for a few years, rwd + manual... and I also looked for one LOL. M2 Comp would be S58 or F87 N55/S55.

EvoFire 03-06-2024 11:30 PM

Why are you guys making all the wrong comparisons....

It's a Z4 clownshoe with a Toyota badge.... The chassis came for the Z4, and it's a hardtop.

68style 03-06-2024 11:42 PM

One thing I didn't count on was the sheer number of douchebags everywhere who step to me hoping for some smoke everywhere I go in this thing at night time... clapped out Benzes, fart-pipe Hondas, hyped kids in V6 Accords tailgating or driving super aggressive to try and piss me off enough to run. Shit's annoying af, isn't anyone a real car enthusiast anymore? Just want to be a sideshow for a main event that isn't coming?

Yep. This happens to me quite frequently on my daily commute LMAO. They just want to see you do a pull or try to challenge. Hell I did that a bunch back when I just got my license lol.

I usually don't entertain it. But sometimes I will. Depending on how well I'm doing on my fuel economy in that tank lol.

we dont even know what colour your car is! :fullofwin:

JDMDreams 03-07-2024 06:56 AM

Has anyone yelled is that a supra yet? Or they don't cuz bmw:troll::joy:

68style 03-07-2024 07:11 AM

Weirdly enough a bunch of people have yelled that at me in my MR2 the past couple years while filming what I assume were Tiktoks... I hope they enjoyed the annoyed stare

is350 03-07-2024 09:08 AM

Cuz the supra really has road presence with a low stance, I don't think anyone has to be a car guy to say "hey that looks cool" or "that's a sports car". Meanwhile an m3 is much more understated, it's just a 3 series to normal ppl

I can't think of any sports cars brand new under 100k that has the road presence of the supra, the c8 corvette has it but idk if you can even get it for 100k

donk. 03-07-2024 09:49 AM

Only old white males with prostates buy c8s

is350 03-07-2024 10:25 AM

I have seen quite a few young brown guys driving c8s lmao

68style 03-07-2024 10:29 AM

Supra is a SMALL car, I'm 6' tall and I'm probably close to the limit of what's comfy in there, if the roof didn't have that double bubble thing I think my hair would be brushing the headliner lightly. I don't personally have trouble getting in and out of it even at my advanced age, I even somehow instinctually seemed to pick up on doing the head duck not to whack it on the roofline... but my poor dad is like 77 and overweight and he had a horrible time trying to get into the passenger seat lol

Dbone 03-07-2024 10:32 AM

The Supra has to be one of the only examples where the successor car is actually smaller than the one before it. I sat in one while I was trying to talk myself out of the M2 and couldn't believe how much shorter it seemed.

As a sports car, it's probably all the better for it too.

Congrats on the Supra! A few weeks ago I came across this and joked that I would get this if I was having a mid-life crisis:

https://i.ibb.co/pnRMrys/IMG-2406.jpg

I have the 4 door, family-friendly version from Germany. Yours probably feels a lot lighter compared to mine!

The Producer 03-07-2024 12:42 PM

there are a few manual Supras on the ground now, ready to go. I'm tempted to go take one for a spin

was it worth waiting for? were you able to land at a satisfactory number? or dealer games

68style 03-07-2024 01:38 PM

I paid MSRP, I think you can get discounts on some automatics now... they're sitting a bit... but it was a hard no when I tried with the manual. I did get them to knock down the documentation fee though, they jacked it like $400 since I first ordered it so I said they should honour what it was when I ordered mine... and also I pointed out that 3 other Toyota dealerships in the lower mainland all had $595 fees so why is their fee nearly a grand?!

It's hard to say what the worth is to anyone, I only wanted a manual... but I have no qualms about admitting the automatic is both faster and probably a better choice for a lot of people. I just get so bored driving automatic and I feel like it brings the car to life in a way that the auto version I drove before doesn't.
