been thinking about the Supra lately and honestly started to fall more in love with how it looks. however, when comparing it to the N55 M2, many have told me it would be considered a downgrade for me. currently I have a 660whp OG M2 which is definitely more special than your typical stock M2, and I'm not sure how I'd feel about building another car since I'm pretty satisfied with what I have. when comparing the two cars, I feel like the M2's N55 sound, handling, and transmission wins but the Supra's looks and power potential wins. I'm curious to hear what everyone else's opinions are when comparing the two !

I very much enjoyed my A90 and only got rid of it because I had an oil burner (a quart every 750 miles). It's a more visceral experience, but it comes with the price of a cabin that's a bit harder to see out of. But yes, lots of room to grow power wise. I'm happier in my M2C, but that's mostly because it has a bit more practicality.
People will ask about your Supra and comment on it positively on a daily basis. It's an attention getter. |

I like the supra, but personally wouldn't be able to live with a 2 seater. I've seen some very modded ones on the road and they look great. Sound even better. The manual version comes out with the 2023 model which makes it more enticing.

for me, I don't care for the manual since I daily drive. I do wonder if the manual will cause the ZF8s to drop though, I'd assume a little. as for rear seats, I don't necessarily need them

When I was hunting for a fun car earlier this year, the 6mt Supra was my first choice, but the indefinite wait time was a buzz kill. The one local dealer that didn't do mark-ups had a full wait list already and wasn't accepting any new entries, so I moved on and found myself in an OG LCI M2. While the Supra looks great, is ridiculously quick, and has amazing potential, I have absolutely no regrets with going for the F87.

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." |

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great tranny and I wouldn't not get a Supra again because of it, but I am happier with the DCT, mild clunkiness and all. |

If looking objectively, you are 100% correct, the M2C is a different car that is a substantial upgrade in every category. A 660whp OG M2 must be a freaking blast though. You mentioned in your original post that you're happy with the car, I would keep it then. You're going to be spending a lot of money starting over with a car with a boring automatic transmission. You could wait for the 23 with the manual though, that's probably what I would do if i were dead set on a Supra.

look 95% of your driving is gonna be on local roads, (unless you are looking for dedicated track car)
I've had f80/f82 , m2c drive by me and you cant even tell those cars are there unless you are looking at them! there is literally no street presence unless you are wringing it out to 5k all the time all you need is a basic tune, and a good exhaust and the fun is unparalleled why would I want to have a car looks good on spec sheet, and the only time I will be truly enjoying it is breaking the speed limit on the road or on the hwy?? and risking getting speeding ticket? the OG will accelerate faster from stoplight, I can give little pushes on the accelerator and listen to the cool engine and turbo noises and have a good laugh with my passengers, without breaking the speed limit. all these things amount to a more fun and jokes streetcar, it literally will make you feel like you are a 19 yr old again. wont get that with the more 'refined' m2c, m2cs true those car have nice aesthetic bonuses, but nothing is perfect, the OG is prob the most fun car that M has offered in last 5 years no cap |
