    Guess I'll wait 10 years for the "Enthusiast Edition" where it'll be $40k (inflation).

    As predicted no match for the B58/ZF8 combination. That Mustang though. The Mach 1 is basically as GT-350 with the Coyote engine so maybe not surprising.

    Cammisa had mostly good things to say about it, but said the new GT86 is way better and he'd rather have one of those. I think that says a lot.

    I like how they left the Tesla Plaid numbers up there for precisely a micro-second.

    Saw a couple other reviews today, the auto one reviewer got 4.7s zero to sixty and that was at the track on a car that'd been running around all day already. 10 minute mark. This reviewer with the manual had a similar experience to what Camissa was talking about - wheel spin like crazy out of the hole.

    Doug Demuro's review is up, he was very impressed with it, said it felt faster than the latest Supra, he felt that cornering was great as was handling in general. Wasn't as thrilled with the clutch and shifter feel, but overall said it was a great car. If it's cheaper than the Supra, should be interesting to see how it sells.

    Will be very interesting....

    The Supra is wild looking, definitely feels like maybe a bit too much? The 400z to me feels like almost not enough, pretty pedestrian in design.

    If only they both had the Integra design team... who knows what would have been possible

    3.8s & 12.1 @ 117 vs 4.0s & 12.3 @ 116... Honestly I could live with that 0.2s deficit and not lose any sleep over it. Its actually closer than I expected it to be.

    Savagegeese review is up and as usual is very thorough and well done. They seem quite smitten by it as a drivers car.

    Closer than I thought it would be as well. With the same tires, it would be even closer me thinks.

    It sounds like maybe the auto is the way to go with this car?

    The Mach 1 A10 is tuned well. I recently attended a roll racing event and beat out a manual Mach 1 with the Tremec using the no-lift shift feature. I've fast-forwarded the video to the race. There is another point of view at 10:52.

    If performance is the name of the game, I think that applies generally speaking to ALL cars these days. (CVT notwithstanding, of course)

    Similar to Calgary, Salt Lake City tore down their 1/4 mile track. We've got a motorsport campus that is trying its best to bridge the gap by offering this event and using the funds to save for a 1/8th mile drag strip.

    Rumors from R&T says Nissan is planning on undercutting the Supra heavily for the base Z. $35k USD start, so roughly $45k CAD start. That's dirt cheap for a 400hp 3300lb sports car if true.

    R&T plus exchange rate guess got pretty close.

    So basically if you can live without the LSD/BBK, it's a bargain. If you need those, I would just go Supra, as it's overall the better car. I'm also pretty sure no dealer is going to have/order the base version.

    Not if you're going to track it or drive it in any sort of a "spirited" way. Seems like the 9AT was overheating after just a couple laps and the shifts are sluggish when driven hard. Auto may be fastest in a straight line, but that's probably it.

    I'll be curious to see how much slower the manual Supra is compared with the ZF8. Though I think when C&D compared the manual vs auto M2 Comp the manual was somehow slightly quicker.

    Right around what I thought... was expecting ~ $45k-50k base and ~ $55k-60k performance.
