The displacement is just a hair up. The designer guy said the base will start below the 2.0.
Q60 = 2997cc
Z = 3042 cc

I think pricing will be key. The base Z with the open diff at ≤$40k will still be a better buy than the 2.0 Zupra in my book.
Now I can totally see Nissan pricing the performance model at $45k+. At that point how many people will just fork over a little more for a car with a better chassis and...

Toyota builds a one-off targa top A90 Supra that pays homage to the Mk4 with a removable roof.
Based on a 2021 GR Supra, the factory roof was surgically cut, while two 3D-printed composite panels...
The whole Covid excuse is probably just Toyota saving face with the lower than expected sales of the 2021 2.0.
It will be down to 0 by the time the Z is released lol.
C&D is also saying "we expect a price somewhere in the $70,000 range..."

The MT rate for the F80 M3 is about 30%, idk about the M4. I guess that would be right about where a "MT Supra" would be as well. Agree, no arguments there. The more the merrier.
Yeah, maybe if this thing had the typical 8-10 yr life cycle. Then maybe I think there could possibly be a chance...
Correct, but that's the only sales numbers we have from Toyota. Any guesses on a hypothetical manual J29 is just that, a guess. How about we use something closer and more intune to the Supra. Manuals make up roughly half of M2 sales. While the C7 debut half of buyers chose a manul. Granted that...
I feel a lot of us keep repeating ourselves, but here it goes again. Nissan will offer the Z35 in a manual because half of Z's will opt for one. Toyota stated in their poll that only 20% of potential buyers said they wanted a manaul. I wondered who they polled, woman and millennials? ? All jokes...
