I’m glad I stumbled onto this thread. I plan on buying a manual supra in the near future and live on the east coast of Canada (New Brunswick) and would like to drive the supra year round. I would have my Civic Si for really bad days and likely only drive the supra when the roads are clear...

Who cares if there is a X Drive M2? That will increase the weight that much more and be automatic only, it'll also strip it of even more personality. HARD PASS...unless this is your practical fun car for year round motoring and you have something else in your garage with more character, stick...

You can see the full historic times from all the lightning laps and you are correct that the 2023 Toyota Supra manual was indeed faster than both the current generation CTR and the previous. The reason why this information is so much more valuable than N Ring lap times is this was done on the...

Well that sucks. If I do end up putting a deposit down, I will only pull the trigger if the car comes with a stick and in a colour I am okay with.

Wow, your situation reads just like mine, only another year out. My Civic Si will be paid off April 2025 and that’s when I want my fun car to arrive. The Supra is at the top of my list currently. I plan to put a deposit down this fall. Here’s how it’ll work for me, deposit down on a 2025...

Am I the only one on here that is okay with a Civic being comparably quick on a track to a Supra. For me a pretty fantastic two car garage would be a manual Supra and a current gen Civic Type R (or maybe the Integra Type S). I give major props for the Honda people for building the best FWD...

You’d probably be better off seeing if they have a used car that won’t depreciate as much or if need be go with one of their products that typically don’t depreciate much at all, like a 4Runner or Tacoma. Another option, at least here in Canada (but likely a similar site in US), is to take over...

I was going to mention this, the reason I prefer the lightning lap from car and driver over the ring lap times or other track records is they test all the cars on the same day every year, same driver for each, using tires that come from factory or that are optional packages. Sure you can’t...

OP, that does seem like rather poor mileage. Do you drive up hill both ways, with a head wind, and the e brake on? I’m just kidding of course but I would check tire pressure, and try switching into comfort mode and maybe not using the brake and gas pedals like on off switches. Are you one of...

Was at the closest BMW dealer today to look at the M2, my wife was with me. No test drive as this one was in the showroom and it’s meant to show off options (had red painted brakes, carbon roof, black tip exhaust, black rims on one side and bronze on the other). Maybe if I had a deposit down...

I messaged them on Thursday and they didn’t even respond. Might have to call them tomorrow to see if it’s still there.

I’m not even sure if that would be the case, but I haven’t exactly followed that BMW. Once I heard it was FWD based I immediately crossed it off the list of vehicles I would ever be interested in. My current vehicle (22 Civic Si) and Precious (2020 VW GLI) are FWD sedans, so I don’t need to...

I will likely do the same, $500 at the dealer, fully refundable, and hope that maybe one comes in that I can drive before having to lock in my order. Wish we had tracks here in NB, just a drag strip and a couple of small ovals. But there is a car club that do autocross, but I don’t think...

Yeah I’m almost glad he didn’t let me test drive it because if I was in person and he used the “exotic” term to describe the Supra, I would not have been able to bite my tongue. I just try to educate but some people just don’t want to learn. He was dead set that it met the “industry...

Yeah I think this M2 is likely either there specifically for people who have deposits down can test drive it or it’s someone’s that is already sold and there is an agreement that it stays in the show room for X amount of days. I’m not really upset about it, I expected as much, but disappointed...

I have been trying to find a Supra to test drive before putting a deposit down, it many in my area. One popped up for sale the other day, messaged the guy/business. Was honest and upfront that I wasn’t interested in buying the one they had as I want a manual but that a test drive would give...

Going to see an new M2 on Tuesday. Sales guy said that I likely won’t be allowed to drive it, which I understand as I’m not a current customer or a BMW owner, don’t have a deposit down, and it’s in the showroom so taking it out would mean having to detail it again before putting it back in the...

But I already have an orange Civic Si, I was counting on a Yellow Supra. I’m sure it’ll look the business but I would really like a green with a medium brown interior.

So looks like as expected the new M2 is making more power than what BMW stated. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a43568186/2023-bmw-m2-dyno-video/ I like dyno graphs as much as anyone else…but I like them a lot more when there are multiple cars tested back to back with the same dyno on the...

Yeah I am not debating that the M2 is faster, even though we will have to wait for real world test at the strip and track. Regardless, if all we care about is the fastest car for the money, likely can buy something faster than both. I am one of those few people who are okay with the stock...
