As a prior owner of 2 MKIV, I will definitely compare the 2.

It's funny there are so many haters (even in this thread), yet they keep on talking about the MKV

It's not just here lol. I follow a guy on IG he hates the MKV but he hashtags it in his normal MKIV posts every single time, it's very odd to give attention to something you hate. Others are the same way quick to say they hate it but post a pic of it every chance they get. Very odd lol.

What would that reason be when the Supra can run circles around it?

I was one of the earlier MKIV adopters (yes, I'm old), and people used to make fun of it's bugged eye, gigantic winged, and big butt and basically write it off against the likes of the nimble rx7, 300z, and NSX. It eventually became the legend it is today after years of shops pushing the envelope and several F&F movies.

And look at the MKV today: shops already have it going near mid 10s after a month, and it's going to be featured in the next F&F again. It's basically de ja vu for me, and I'm sure the haters will eventually come around, like they did before. Heck I reckon most of them have not driven the MKV or even the MKIV.....#trollswillbetrolls

I was too young to drive when the MKIV came out but I do remember seeing them and thought they were too bulgy lol I absolutely loved the Z32 instead at the time. I did own a Z32 briefly before I eventually got a MKIV.

The MKIV is a hard car to bench mark against and the trolls will continue to be trolls, you are correct most of them bashing have never driven or rode in a MKIV muchless the MKV.

MT issue out.

Supra took first place over M2 and Cayman....

Bottom line was Supra does everything they do as well or better for thousands less.
