I have seen a couple out here in the Austin area. I do know that a few dealerships have them in their inventory.

but the VR30 is the obvious choice, so if they do update the Z they'll probably go that direction.

That’s what I was thinking too. Would love to have something like that. Also if they could strip some weight out you’d have quite the car.

But than there less chance of making more power from tunes.

Will never happen in the UK. Next Focus RS is rumoured to be Hybrid or it doesn't happen.

I have yet to see a new Supra on the road but then again never see 370Z's either.

yea... I think it would be hard to strip much weight without increasing the price quite a bit.

BUT if they went to a transaxle drivetrain, that would be very good

Until you want to change out the POS VLSD for something else.

does it make it much more complicated? I dunno I've never replaced a differential before.

Oooooh yea. Instead of just a diff. Now you have have a tranny attached to the diff. Over double the weight. With wires and hoses attached too. It's no longer a simple swap once you open it up either.

There’s a white Supra in my neighborhood, it looks good. Seen a few here and there around my general area too, all either black, white or red. Still very rare, saw way way more r35 gtrs around here back in 09 when they first dropped. Leads me to believe the Supra has been a bust for Toyota.

I’ve yet to see one in the wild in my city- just saw them across the fence when they were coming into the country at the Autoport. Granted it is winter, so people might be waiting until spring to drive them.

I live in the second biggest city in Australia and I haven't seen the new Supra on the road yet. My work colleague has seen 1 last week.

TheWolfe · 02-17-2020, 03:50 AM

I've seen a couple in Dallas over the past few months

NissanFreak81 · 02-17-2020, 08:55 AM

I've seen 4 here in Houston so far.

Sorry we are a bit of topic but anyway, have not seen one here in Newcastle Aust, . Wonder if the price tag has anything to do with it....?
Supra 2019/20 GR GT $90,000AUS and GR GTS $103,000AUS. To give you US folk an idea a new 370Z is about $60,000 so entry level Supra is $30k more expensive, now that's a lot of money!

tvfreakazoid · 02-17-2020, 07:39 PM

I think the bmw supra is a bit pricey but it doesnt have any resemblance of the mkiv.
Imo it's just of a fail. Especially with all the fake *** vents.
If the new Z is expensive, than nissan wont make any Z cars. Especially with their financial issues.
Nissan needs to make cheaper trim levels of the new Z
