I already have an order in for M2c but the Supra looks really intriguing. I like the styling, especially the rear end versus the the M2 rear. I'm dead set on a 6MT however and will follow through with the M2. Anyone making the jump to Supra that were considering the M2?

The new Supra is close in price for the top tier version, but there is no chance I would take it over any version of the M2.
Im actually not down on the new Supra at all, I just think the price is too high for what you get. Makes the m240i look like a bargain. |

It probably drives a lot better than an M240i. The laptimes are going to be very far apart. The Z4 M40i posts times equivalent to OG M2.

I was going to go Supra until I found there wasn't going to a manual option. 6spd was a must for me in a sports car.

BMW seems to be very risk averse and I don’t know that a Z4M will exist again. I also don’t see them giving an S engine to Toyota unless there’s a Z4M. I really just want the M chassis, suspension, and steering bits. The 382 HP variant of B58 is probably good enough. Hopefully they end up making one though. |

Well, I wish it had a 6MT too, but you can't get one from Ferrari, McLaren, or Lamborghini anymore either. Doesn't mean they aren't sports cars. On the other hand, you can get all kinds of economy cars and trucks with 6MT.

No 6spd, no back seat, the M2C is more of a Supra than the new Supra.

I think the previous Supra was the most overrated car in recent automotive history, too. It drove worse than an E36 M3 and the engine only made huge power with significant modifications. People think they were making 1000hp stock and that just wasn’t the case. This chassis is showing good results with the vanilla version cars. A Z4M or GR Supra could be a really fantastic sports car. |

A bone stock Supra TT would be in a dead heat with a FWD car today like the Hyundai Veloster N in regards to performance and not even in the same ballpark as a Civic Type R. The engine is ridiculously overbuilt which is the car's claim to fame.

Supra would have been great. The Supra always had two rear seats and was known as a 2+2. Although the rear seats were not really usable but like in the Porsche 911 model cars this allows for more leg room up front and allows for both seats in the front to tilt further back rather then to sit in an upright position as if one was sitting in 90 degree angle chair. After a while if you are on the taller side sitting in traffic this can become quite tiresome if you use this car as a daily driver. This Makes the M2 the better car. More leg room and seats that tilt back to where you can even sleep or take a nap in the passenger seat on a long drive. Having to sit straight up is like sitting in a Porsche Cayman or BMW Z4. For short people or short trips this is ok but for tall people and daily driving you need to think about this carefully.

That's a good one! I like that
In that group I'd certainly choose the GTR. Godzilla had a long reign and in many ways still does.

That’s like comparing a 911 Turbo to the M2 except in the opposite direction. Supra is a detuned coupe version of the Z4. It’s a half a notch up from the 86.
