For sure - wasn't offering the new GT4 as a direct competitor - just sharing a fun/interesting link based on the guy's comment.

No interest for me in the Supra due to automatic-only, and not a fan of the looks. I do think the forthcoming M2 CS will be interesting to compare to the new GT4, however, even if there's still a sizable (if slightly smaller) price gap than what we have here. No doubt that thread will heat up again soon.

When you’re just driving normally, the flat six is a lot less sexy sounding.
Interesting - I have never heard the 2.0; beyond that, I agree all around.

Definitely test drive a718 with sport exhaust on the 2.0. Not the best sounding car ever but not bad either. I think the old guard hates on anything not flat six. You could put a 1,000hp v12 in a 911 and they’d complain.
