BMW fans listen both companies BMW and Toyota used the same platform to tune these two cars and Toyota nailed it now stop being upset just cause BMW did not nail the setup like toyota now yall want to keep highlighting "it a BMW" just because it actually is that good, please don't take this from Toyota they nailed the setup the car is a baby LFA. Nobody is talking about the Z4, now yall wish that BMW badge was actually in a supra
All the part #s are the same from 3series, X3 etc.
Toyota put together their design around the hardware and tuned the dynamics to their preferences.
LS and LC had mostly negative responses, because they are both half assed efforts by half assed company. The Supra should do well since most BMW coupes do very well (probably better than any other brand's coupes), and the legendary Supra name is an added bonus.

Z4 sold horribly thats why they partnered with Toyota to save $$$ sonce they know it will sell in small #s.
The only 2seater that sells decent is the Vette and they have discounts of $15-20k on them....

thanks for helping me see the error in my ways, I've seen a bunch of footage of stock c6 z06s getting 10.XX quarter mile times but my screen must've been buggy

now come on why would I say that if it weren't true... you also need the driver mod to get the most out of the z06

Definitely the case here if they were able to get those times.
Time will tell, anyone buying the actual Z4 wants a vert with a slight bump in power but considering the MKV is 700 lbs lighter and 15K cheaper I think it's the better bang for the buck unless again buyers really want a vert.

so as per the C/D article, the zupra is about 4 mph faster in the 1/4 mile and 3 seconds quicker from 0-150... i imagine basically all of that advantage comes from the first few seconds where the quick shifting 8 speed auto easily beats out a 6MT, and the bigger discrepancy between the times and the speeds shows that
therefore back to my original statement... it's pathetic that if the zupra with a fat driver pulls up on the highway next to a 26 year old supra with a skinny driver, the result will be basically neck and neck

Still not a fan but those are some seriously impressive numbers.
I saw an old Supra today, actually.. I couldn't tell if it was a turbo or not bc the car was black and dirty where the "turbo" badge is on the old ones.

i'm not a fan of the no wing though, like seeing an evo with no wing... the car just looks kind of incomplete

Is that so? I swear I thought they were identical except for the sleeper badge. Why wouldn't all of the turbos not be labeled as such?
I'm indifferent about the wing, looks good either way.
