you're right on about not needing to justify our purchases.

BTW: The Supra is 3.8 sec to 60mph and 12.3 sec for 1/4 miles. That is very fast in its stock form. While the appearance is subjective, the performance is quite amazing for an $55k car.

That's not a slug. 0-60 in supposedly 4.1 seconds. Not many cars do that, with a RWD V6.

It's that excuse/sugarcoating bull**** that comes with any fanboy.

I don't know when the car consumer society will learn to outgrow this stigma. In the end, yeah most of us would have Ferrari's or whatever if we could afford it. There's nothing wrong for enjoying what you have, but you don't have to go out of your way to justify your purchase.

I got bored by the 7 minute mark. The 86 and the Z should not even be compared. (my shot at trying to get back on topic :-))

I felt the same way. They're not really comparable.

Yep. That’s one fast BMW!!! But I can’t get past the fake vents and weird looking roof line. There’s just something off about the way it looks.

I hear ya, but apparently fake vents are making a huge comeback! They're all the rage these days!

To be fair, on the Supra they are designed to be removed to allow for more airflow and aftermarket coolers. So turning them into functional vents doesn't sound like a big deal. Toyota left a lot of meat on the bone with this car. There is all kinds of room for improvement.

Also, its looks are growing on me. I saw one with an old style supra wing on it...

For that price, I'd take a Corvette over this wheeled turd toyota any day.

No offense to Toyota.

The vents aren't fake. That was a mistake

They are fake. Most go nowhere at all and have metal behind them.

I'm surprised at all the Supra hate in here!

I'm not getting one, but I won't deny that it'll be a better car than a stock Z34. My sister is getting a launch edition when it arrives later this month/next month, so I'm PUMPED to try it out.

Anyway, to get back on topic - I didn't watch the video but I agree with a lot that's being said here - 86 and 370Z (especially a Nismo) shouldn't even be compared. That's not to say one car is better than the other, but they are just in different classes it doesn't even makes sense. The only thing that have in common is that they are both Japanese RWD coupes :P

nis350 · 07-11-2019, 03:13 PM

don't think too many people hate the Supra here, some just thought the Z is a better car....

I like my Z, but would love to have an Supra. Lot of car for $55k.

Dude stop. What was that all about? The Supra was her high school car (before F&F came out) so she's been waiting for it for a long time. No need to hate on her. Stop making Z community look bad with this childish hating.

By the way, she's getting the Supra at MSRP. She worked hard to get this car and waited a long time to get it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you need to bring down the excitement of others.

Anyway, you're way off topic and you're spamming the thread. This thread is supposed to be about the NISMO and the TRD 86.

Dude, chill. I’m not hating on your sister. Overreact much? Must of touched a nerve, huh?

I didn’t realize your sister was reading my opinions and was so easily triggered. I’m sorry, Sis!
