NISMO vs the gutless wonder!! 86

So who's picking this Supra over a Corvette??? For starters, not I!

Not a GM or vette fan even though the c8 looks cool, new Supra for me. Just hope they make a manual.

Price to price. I'd pick the Supra. If I bought a corvette? Its grand sport or better. Z51 isn't all that by comparison of a grand sport. A grand sport is 70k to start. A supra is $57k to finish.

I guarantee your neck and your mouth will drop when you see the new Supra on the road or up close in person. I was told it looks even better in person lol

Same here... definitely with a manual gearbox or the DCT equivalent.

I'm not getting one, but I won't deny that it'll be a better car than a stock Z34. My sister is getting a launch edition when it arrives later this month/next month, so I'm PUMPED to try it out.

Anyway, to get back on topic - I didn't watch the video but I agree with a lot that's being said here - 86 and 370Z (especially a Nismo) shouldn't even be compared. That's not to say one car is better than the other, but they are just in different classes it doesn't even makes sense. The only thing that have in common is that they are both Japanese RWD coupes :P

1) its a supra
2) novelty of a brand new platform
3) bmw engineered
