the 2.0 maybe, but not the 3.0.Don't think so. The Z is supposedly more powerful than the supra and nearly 15k cheaper base options (if rumors are true), has a manual... remind me again how this isn't a threat to the supra? IMO it will kill supra sales. I was ready to bounce on a '21 this year but glad I'm holding out. I'm going to be severely disappointed if the '22 truly has nothing new. I was hoping for a removable top at the least. Ah well...
The BRZ/86 and Z are the same concept. Cheap(er) RWD manual cars with a mediocre interior. The Supra is a higher quality and aimed squarely at the Cayman. We don't know the power of the Z yet, or the price. But we know it's based on the 370Z and we know that isn't fantastic. The engine the Z gets, dynos at 350/350 where the 3.0 Supra dynos much higher than that. A manual is no match for the ZF8 in the 3.0 Supra.
And in a base Z, if we go by previous models, you get absolutely nothing. No performance brakes, diff, nothing.
This is where the BMW thing makes sense, because Nissan cannot compete with that, in the Z. Not for $35k. So in my opinion, the Z makes much more sense as a BRZ/86 with more power.
