Mk V Supra - My Evo's Replacement?
Honestly, I don’t really care. I’m in the camp that cars are to be used. I’m also really off put by the amount of freakin’ threads about full body PPF for $10,000+ on the supra forums and the amount of people being prideful that their Supras only having 2,000 miles after two years.
I really don't care about the paint either. Dents on the other hand drive me crazy.... for the 10k people are spending on ppf, you can just get the whole car repainted when it's time and most likely end up with better quality paint.
That supra is a cookie cutter build for normal people supra track cars. All non-toyota mods. Verus aero, CSG brake pads, SPL arms, KW coilovers, CSF cooling, etc etc. If it was a fully backed factory car it would probably just use all the Toyota Supra GT4 parts.
FYI, that tesla has 1,000hp.

New Z uses Z34 underpinnings not Z35 as you misinformed. New Z weights slighty more but also has
a tick more HP. Just glad to see another true Japanese built sports car being introduced.

AMS dynoed a new Z vs a 2020 supra (the lower power year) and the Supra made more power and torque (more than 50 more!) to 5500 rpm, and then it was the same. 2021+ supra makes more power than the Z and weighs less. Even the 2020 supra will be faster because of lighter weight and more power under the curve.Of course, this is one VS's dyno. Should be interesting to see more come out.

ORLy?

I personally like the looks of the Z.The Supra is interesting but has more alien looking features too me.
I need to "try" and sit in a new Z and drive it too. BTW who is VS's dyno?
Ahh Ok. Interesting comparisons. I was a big fan of the 240Z when I was in HS. They obviously went with a retro look. Road and Track did a straight line comparison and the Z was a couple tenths off from the Supra and just 1 mph slower. That seems to compare well with these dyno readings by AMS. The Z stock is about a quick as my '06 Evo was tuned on E85.
And I think you meant Z33 not Z35. The 370 uses a lot of the same parts as a 350 which was the joke to my joke. You would basically be buying a new 20 year old car.
Dont get me wrong, I am glad it came out but I am not expecting it to be that good of a car.
