if they both suck, gonna mod the living hell out of the Z and keep her. In that case, Kai, you'll be hired.

anyone else here intend on getting the new Z? Just curious. November 22/23 can't come soon enough!

From what I read the new Z is either a 4 cylinder turbo or a "detuned" version of the VQ we're running now. The only difference there may be is style. The Supra I know nothing about, but guaranteed it'll be over priced.

I pretty fluid when it comes to cars. Plans do change a lot but eventually they narrow down until I pick one and run with it. Just like what happened with the Z.

Supra I'm assuming will top $55k. As long as the performance specs are there, it's light and produces at least 400hp, I'll be sold. I mean, it'll be AWD and should be the sum of the works of Toyota and BMW. If it's a beast then why not? If I actually do everything I'd want to do to the Z it would easily top $20k without trying. Simple math makes that a $55k car with quite possibly 1/3 the performance characteristics. Doesn't make sense to invest that much.

I don't know any toyota production car that's had 400hp out of the gate. Good luck with that Supra. It'll probably look good! And have plenty of aftermarket parts and options. But 400hp out the gate? The M3 barely has that, and how much is the M3? You're looking at 57-60k. And I believe it'd be safe to assume that it won't have a v8 in it... sooo...yeah AND there's no way you're going to leave that Supra stock, so add the 20k you would have put into it on top. Oh...well then you might as well have bought a GTR... New argument. LOL

I'm happy with my Z. Honestly I'll probably never sell it. This time next year I hope to have it set up as a full on track car.
