Would love to compare a 340i manual to Dakota's Supra in terms of feeling and satisfaction when driving

[@DanielReyes-zh4ej]

The intro music is Amazing!!

[@lynnmckenney1987]

I've managed to never have a car payment (which has kind of ruined me), by buying "mechanics specials" or rebuilt titles, so I can't imagine starting now. That said...I'd save up and drop 5-7k on a ratty 350 or a flood title c5/frs over a $450 payment on a new supra/etc for the next "x" years. Then again...I'm a cheap ba$tard who happily puts around in a $1,000 1989 wagovan as a daily :D

Well Dakota hadn't ever done a launch in his car so I felt it was appropriate to do it for him. Don't judge me!!

The G42 m240i is actually fairly affordable when compared to the cars it competes with. As usual BMW underquoted the power. When people have lined it up with other cars it's performed amazingly.

I agree! I think credit is due for Toyota in terms of bringing back the “Supra” name - regardless of being built by BMW. The fact that they are able to give the community an in-line 6, turbocharged sports car with an incoming manual transmission is something that we need to thank Toyota for. 🙏🏻

Definitely waiting for the third pedal. Cross-shopping a very short list of the Z, the Supra, and the new M2 (forthcoming). Manual only. My biggest concern is the non-tunability of the new model (for now - BMW always locks down their ECUs since about 2010 and they all eventually get cracked).

[@aroundomaha]

I love the look. But oddly I prefer the relative simplicity of the 2022 BRZ/86. This is a far nicer car but I like the minimalism of the BRZ. That said I'd totally autocross one of these and make it earn it's keep.

@@aroundomaha What is your definition of muscle or sports car then? Because with low hp figures and low torque it sounds to me that all you want is a tight suspension and a manual gearbox.... I mean 228 hp is not THAT bad , especially for a lighter vehicle ... but you have stuff like a 350 or 370z or a sk2000 or hell even a slightly used porsche or corvette that just blow it out of the water in every performance metric except price...
