I can afford it but if I don’t sell one of my current toys then I’d run the risk of getting thrown out of the house.. so.. most probably I won’t be getting it unless Toyota grows a pair and gives me a manual option.

Even with the manual option.. I’m deeply in love with all 4 of my toys. So tell me.. which one should I sell ...

1100hp MKIV Supra?
800hp GenV Viper?
700hp C7Z06?
526hp GT350?

Would any of you replace one of the above cars for the MKV S(Z)upra?

I would let go the GT350 first.

Just got that thing 3 months ago.. it sounds like a R1 up top. Handles and steers amazingly well.

Have to agree, the GT350 would be the first to go, then the Z06. Viper and MKIV are nonnegotiable.

Sad thing I see is people wanting the RCF. The car could have had a great following, but just missed the mark. I really wanted a RCF when they first came out, even talked my friend into getting one over the M4.

I wont be surprised if a manual option comes out at some time. I'm sure the power and trans convos were in Tadas ear, at every event he's been to.

Here's to waiting. Look forward to being a big presence in the aftermarket segment, when they finally do release the MKV.

Agreed I can never part ways with my Viper and the Supra. However, Z06 and Shelby are amazing as well. I highly doubt this Supra will even come close to how special the Z06 and the Shelby are... time will tell.

I can afford +80k and I will buy it as long as the top trim comes with the same powertrain as the GRMN. I don't have time to buy and sell it a year or two later to upgrade at a loss. But if it is launched with the 'Toyota' motor available I'll be the first inline.

I've seen too many GT350s to tell you to get rid of it, however i can't say the same for the Z06(only seen it once}, so Z06

Actually there are a lot less GT350s on this planet than C7Z06s.

You can PM me if you like so we don't thread jack. But what are you thoughts on the rumored mid engine Corvette? Would this be something you get rid of your Z06 and MKV aspirations for?

Btw for me out of that list the Vette would go. All your other cars are just as or more rare. Imho

I would most probably get rid of the C7Z for a 991.2 GT3 Touring. That’s what I’ve bern eyeing lately. Proper manual car.. not this bogus ‘drivers car’ with an auto.. abortion.

I’m hoping Toyota does the right thing and offers a manual. Then I may just add another vehicle and pay the consequences at home some other way. Lol

I love the way the GT3 looks with the wing removed. Chris Harris' GT3 Touring is perfect... Gold BBS Magnesium rims, same rims as GT2RS Weissach

GT350 would have to go, and go quick.


So, I can afford one at launch, but I may wait a year until some of the market adjustments settle down. It’s the main reason I leased the WRX for three years. Although my wife constantly nagged about having to sit in the BRZ due to the low ride height and the uncomfortable seats, I may just stroke the check at the end of the lease and just buy a glorified garage queen...aka A90.
