The vents aren't fake. That was a mistake

That true, didn’t look at the torque. Still not interested in a $60,000 rolling turd. How about if I put $30,000 into my $30,000 Z to make it a fair fight?

Now you're talking! I'll take the Z, thank you.


Or a Corvette.

There isn’t enough alcohol in this county to change my mind about the supras looks. It’s that bad.

Exactly! Before I drop 60 large on the rolling turd, I’d buy the Vette and have an extra $4000 in my pocket.

Where are you getting 421flb of torque? The most I’ve seen is 365. Still impressive, but not 421 impressive.

They are fake. Most go nowhere at all and have metal behind them.

I'm surprised at all the Supra hate in here!

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

don't think too many people hate the Supra here, some just thought the Z is a better car....

I like my Z, but would love to have an Supra. Lot of car for $55k.

421 was a dyno. 365 is the raing I'll find it later.

The Supra advertised HP is way understated, but what is important is the actual performance which is very similar to the M4's that cost $20k more.

I am sure the after market tuners already have many goodies to make it even better....

I too replaced my e46 M3 with the 370z. Honestly, the M3 is better in all categories compared to the Z The e46 M3 motor is amazingly smooth and interior is better with the napa leather etc... Yes, I do know that the maintenace is much higher for the M3.

The main reason for the replacement was because I really like the look of the car (my 3rd Z) and it was new to me while the M3 was old at the time.

It's probably not a fair comparison as the M3's MSRP was in the $60k's

I think comparing the new Supra (the version everyone seems to be referring to at least) to a 30k$ Z is as ridiculous as comparing the 86 to a Nismo Z. Perhaps the real comparison price and style wise should be the Supra v Corvette.

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