Has the Supra been tested on a track? And I mean corners.

I've seen independent reviews on a track but not comparisons.



YouTube is where I found them.

The value drops by at least 15% on the day you take it out of the dealership.

And the 2nd owner would be up for paying stamp duty.

Would be a nice little coupe to own if it cost $80k or so. But 135????? He's dreaming.

Having checked them up and close at SEMA the other week they don't look as good as I expected.
Bit of a overgrown 86.
That GTS link above looks much better than the ones on display to my liking.
Over priced imo.

These sound great from the outside, it's the overly fake sounding interior noise that I can't really love.

I think the back of the Supra looks really weird, should be much wider profile IMO after looking at a few pics and videos. I have seen heaps of 2000 era Supra's lately for some reason. While the interior was ugly as **** in those models they look mint outside.

Kinda like how the RX8 sucked balls and definitely performance compared to the RX7.

Jap cars have gone way down hill in the cosmetic department the last couple of years.

A bit of a thread mine but I finally spotted one of these today and well it does nothing for me. Just looks sqished together. Older Supras look way better.

This review / opinion was certainly harsh on the new Supra, and for good reason sadly.

The Gen4 is mint, but I think us Gran Turismo guys are a bit biased.

I dont mind it, id own one if given one but if it was my money I would be getting a manual Mustang.

I tend to agree... the cohesiveness or lackthereof in the Supra doesn't make it all that appealing to me.

The Nissan 400z on the otherhand...

Does anyone actually drive one of the new supras as a daily ? I ceramic coated one and think they look so similar to a BMW series 3 . The paint job on these are above average and was impressed but is the price really worth it ?

I really like the GR Supra to be honest, and they do go very well (low 12s stock). I spot a white one every now and then in our area and can really see myself owning one, just not at $100k+
