And that being said, cars like the Supra and the CTR have suddenly become relevant. Don't get me wrong, good cars, but before this, I had zero interest. They're just something to settle with because I'm clearly only interested if I need a replacement daily sports car.
Yup, a turbo factory car will b easier to get a carb approved tune on that actually improves performance.

In the VAG car world, APR has their APR Plus tunes which are 91 octane stage 1 carb approved for a lot of vw, Audi and even some Porsche too iirc.

Let’s hope with the high volume of z35s that will sell, there is a business case to develop a carb approved stage 1 tune for it. Should be good for about an extra 50-70 hp and torque depending on the quality of the tuner. Btw, these will be bench tunes like are the standard in the vw/Audi world, no custom dyno tuning since obviously that could never meet carb.

I am also thinking about getting a nitro yellow supra.

Or just wait it out and see what the new Z is like.

Waiting would not be bad. You can enjoy a test of both while not worrying you have made a bad choice if you dont like the Supra and already own it. Waiting is never a bad thing. They make more of them each day!

That is almost 2 years old. It was never a long term car from the inception.

Whatever... I'm sure if the sales numbers were stronger, they'd reconsider.

Btw, when did you become such a bmwota fanboy?

If the rumors are true and they make a 6MT version of the Supra and you can have those at MSRP - then I think it will be interesting to cross-shop the Z and the Supra. I feel that you can still score a Supra at MSRP and that the new Z will have ADM on it - making the price point a little closer than if they were both priced at MSRP.

Regardless - the Supra is a beautiful car but I wonder if I would get bored not having a 6MT since I like to row my own gears.
