Spending more for less power just doesn't make sense to me unless I'm missing something. And when are the Supra's even available? For $50-55k, I can buy a used Corvette Z06 which will smoke them all!

I have found a 2017 Nismo with 5k miles on it for $31k. Besides the body features, what are the biggest differences between a Nismo and a Sport package? My 2010 Z had the Fast Intentions exhaust, Stillen CAI, and a tune. Would I need those items on a Nismo or do they come standard? Also, the stereo system in my Z was AWFUL...is the Nismo system far superior? What other items are superior? The same dealer has a 2018 Sport Package with 7k miles for $24k.
Eh - I mean the 370z has 270 lb-ft of torque and the new Supra is rated at 365 lb-ft. That's a major difference and the Supras 0-60 time is about a full second faster than the Z's.

It'll also be a lot easier and cheaper to get gobs of power out of the B58 and of course the feel of a turbo charged car vs an N/A car is very different.

I'd get a Civic Type R if you can stand the looks.

The B58 in the 340i makes 380whp with just a tune. It's definitely a solid motor.

The only problems with the new supra are it's ugly as hell and there's no manual (yet).
