I see people debating this and Supra, I think this will cause toyomw or BMYota to go back and figure some stuff out quickly because I think it took all wind out of whatever sail they were flying while teasing for past few years. .Nissan themselves better figure it out because with their recent GTR unjustified money grab will drive sales to zero as well. I mean I’ll wait for numbers but 200k plus nismo GTR or 3 of these cars and cash leftover.
I've been a defender of the Supra. I feel like there's more to it than meets the eye.

But I mean the vents are fake, justified as "being ready for mods".
There is supposedly vacancies ready for coolers as well.
The C8, for a bit more, already gives you that, plus 2 cylinders (not to mention Supra fans want to throw in a 2JZ into the current Supra), sub-3 second 0-60,probably 200mph given the C7 Z51 did like 190, a targa top, probably gonna see the thing continue its LeMans GT success, made in 'murica. I mean the interior seems more bonkers as well.

I am aware the SF90 is probably going to run circles around the C8, but the C8 is every bit of what a supercar has been the past decade when it comes to the fundamental blueprint. It's so crazy to think such money can buy that now.

The Supra didn't seem so bad, and started getting my interest with the power bump revealed, but GM just came about with the best car on planet Earth as of the past few days.

Mind right now is saving up for hopefully a late 2020 or 2021 purchase — there will hopefully be less likelihood of premiums and major issues will also hopefully be figured out. Manual transmission aside, this is literally the car I feel a lot of people were looking for from any manufacturer that has been involved with sports cars.
