Go over to bimmerpost. The Z4 will be heavier and have more luxury features, hence a higher rumored price tag. Their insider has said the Supra will come in lower and will be more barebone.
Of course it is. It’s a roadster. Can’t be lighter than the technical same based Coupe. More luxury means more options on interior. First Z3 was too sporty. Last Z4 was too heavy and comfortable. Next Z4 will be best mix of both, sharing parts with the M3/M4.

In direct comparison the Supra will be a little bit lighter and maybe faster, but only a very very little bit. That’s what my glass sphere says. ;)

So the Supra will be a faster, lighter, more reliable, better handling, better looking, cheaper, easier to modify, coupe Z4? Sign me up!

If I recall correctly, the E86 coupe actually weighted more than the E85 roadster.

Never knew it was considered a GT.

You know that not every car that has the letters GT or is super fast and luxurious is considered a Grand Tourer, right?

What will make it more reliable? Oh right. It will have a Toyota logo on it, got it.

Let me edit it for you. It should read...

So the Supra will be a slightly faster if the wind blows in the right direction , slightly lighter, better handling but no one will notice, better looking IMO, cheaper by $500, coupe Z4? Sign me up?
