Who knows - maybe 3-4yrs down the road - I might think differently once the modding begins and we see what people are doing with this car - but in its current state - I just think its a pass for me (sad bc I really really wanted to like this car - and in some ways I DO like this car).
Anyway - just one more opinion on the 'interwebz'.
makes sense, it's a sidegrade not an upgrade IMO

It's weird that not many reviewers compare the car to a 370z.
I guess it may not put it in the best light when you say it's every bit the same as a 370z with a turbo 3 litre but costs almost twice as much.

The supra was/is the better car vs a 370z, and it remains the better car vs the new Z.
Not much you can really do when working on the same super old platform I guess.
But what made the 370z so good was the value for money that you get.
That's basically gone with the new car.
At the end of the day, even with mods, this car will never do anything better than a 370z.
So for all 370z owners I think it's a waste of time even thinking about this car as a replacement.
Unless you must have the factory turbo engine (vs much larger displacement engine + aftermarket turbos)
OR you must have the new looks. (Imo the 370z is the better looking car anyway.)
