Not sure why you're mentioning all the sound. Different? Yes, by alot? Not imo. My 21 still gets burbles on downshifts and enough "character" for a stock car. But to complain about such little nuisances is silly. This isn't just a "Supra" thing, it's a bmw thing as far as tuning goes.
Notsureifsrs.
So op financed a supra, his dream. Gets disappointed because sounds like a minivan(does not) and now his hopes and dreams are shattered.
I don't even.
Don't want to add fuel, but in no shape or form the new or old type R is similar in performance vs the Supra. They're a reason why it's listed higher in msrp.
