I have a friend with the RedSport in a gorgeous colour and although I haven't been in it, that engine looks incredible on paper. I wonder if his is new enough to avoid the issue.
To me, it seemed like he got one of the first ones, but I have also noticed that time is passing at an exponential rate.

Impossible. From the beginning of the universe to the present day, time is one of the few constants that never changes. You don't even need to read CR to know this.

Einstein also said time is relative. Perhaps @Pen is actually only about 4" tall max?

Doug Demuro on YT just reviewed the new Supra with the manual transmission. That is the car I'd probably get of the 4 (400z at/mt and Supra at/mt). I set in a Supra in a show room, and really liked the cockpit and interior, not as much as the 2021 Corvette interior that was there too, but close. The Supra's looks have grown on me as well, and IMO that IL6 is a good motor, and now with a MT, let the good times roll.

How far do you go comparing a car that starts at $68k+ CDN, vs one that starts around $45-50k CDN?

That's not an apples to apples comparison though as the Z Sport trim doesn't get any of the goodies. The Z Performance at $58.5K CAD is the one that better compares to the Supra.

Agreed. But at a delta of still ~$10k you can forgive the Z for some of its shortcomings.

Can you though?

Can you though?

Sure, at an almost 15% price differential you can.

I mean, compare the Supra to an $80k car and see if it stacks up?

Isn’t the comparable trim z4 around $80k?

Imagine justifying buying your car to people by saying “well it was 15% cheaper than the supra”

How about cars just be good enough to stand on their own two feet instead of only being good in a relative sense.

Right. So using your exact framing, that would mean..

Is the new Z a good sub-$60k car?

NOT

How does the new Z stack up against the new Supra?

[killramos]

How about. Is it a good car.

Sounds pretty meh to me.

[Disoblige]

No one compares much to the Supra. It stands on its own.
You buy a 400Z and everyone gonna compare it. Nuff said.

I can see a lot of ppl buying a 400Z on the secondary market later though.

Don't they compare it to the BMW under its skin?

[killramos]

How does one buy a car on the secondary market later when no one buys it in the first place?

Asking for SKR

Saw one today in red on deerfoot.

That horrible mazda looking front end sucks.
