For the Performance trim at $50+k the Z is in no way a Supra killer. But at what $ value would the Z be a Supra killer of VALUE? Would a base Z (40$K) with a performance pack (LSD/Brakes/wheels/tires) priced under $45k be a Supra killer? Or if Nissan could keep the $40k base trim and just add an...
FACTS are why manual transmission and ICE will be extinct soon. It's also a FACT that an A100 / EV Supra will be a superior car to the J29. Emotions are what creates legendary cars like the MKIV because the FACT is is that the MKIV wasn't a superior car to it's direct competitors in the 90s.

To play on the mystery and ambiguity, could one of these factors be AEB? Which not only affects the Supra, but all newly produced manual trans cars in 2024/25. There are definitely varying degrees of truth in what you're saying, but it also really depend on how we are all individually defining...
