It's amazing how things change. I bought my Supra in Dec of 21 and it had been sitting at the dealership new for months. I got two dealerships fighting for my business and got it for just under $49k. A new premium Supra that stickered for $56k.
To be honest, the only reason I got the M2C was because I got so much for the Supra when I turned it in. And I only turned it in because it was one of the oil eaters. I suspect I will never have a car that grabbed that much attention.
As I said above, I'm actually happier with the M2C, but if you can live with to seats and the constrained view, it's great. I'd say more fun than the C7 Z51.
Edge to the DCT over the ZF8, albeit ZF8 is good. Oh and I did add a childishly large subwoofer, anathema to any "serious car dude." |
I'm kinda just exploring new car options and figuring out if I wanna make a switch. but the Supra prices like you said shot up recently which sucks. I missed out when modded ones were low 50s. it is definitely on the list of cars I'm interested in. how's the ZF8 compared to the DCT ? worse ? |
The ZF8 is a great torque converter transmission and if you've never experienced a DCT you'll think it's incredible. If you have, it's about 7/10ths as good, which for me amounted to "meh." |
I didn't really get the test out the ZF8 too much since I was old enough to legally test drive but the guy let me do slight pulls in a parking lot. they did feel way faster with shifting. I don't really mind the DCT though. I don't think it's as good for dailying though.
