ive noticed a lot of used ones for sale. to me, if the zupr4 is as awesome as some make it out to be, i personally wouldn't sell one for a measly $2-4k more than i paid.
couple that with the money spent modding/upgrades or wheels and they may have broke even or lost a little. if they are moving to a better vehicle or trying to correct their budget because of overextending themselves...i can understand.
i feel some are getting out from under them because of the issues and multiple recalls. others may be bored with auto only. i know the power jump between the 2020 to the 2021 really hacked a lot of 1st owners off too...
Hey, thatās me! Too funny. I would consider myself an objective person. Calls em like I sees em.Interesting and truthful reply to this post directly below lol Pulled from Z forum.

Just like every other sports car. So youāre surmising that because there are used Supras for sale that people arenāt satisfied? Generally early buyers of sports cars donāt own them long as theyāre always searching for the next best thing. This is why they typically depreciate quickly in addition to not being practical. Add on that this may not be his/her primary mode of transportation. So now you can sell and not take a bath on it. Donāt worry the same thing will happen to the Z when the next hot thing comes out later. Maybe you can post the same thing about the Z being not so awesome.
Forums are a funny place. Beer goggles take over and any objectivity is forgotten.
I feel I'm pretty much the same, doesnāt matter what forum you go to there are always the ones that feel like if they admit a car may be better in any one way then theirs it breaks their fragile ego. Since I came from a Mustang, but was a part of the Challenger and Camaro forums reading about how every other car was garbage this or garbage that is humorous. Really all 3 are great cars for different reason. Iād rather be in a Challenger or Charger to drive cross country then a Camaro, but Iād rather have the Camaro 1LE at the track then a Mustang or Challenger. And Iām glad I got the Mustang over both because of the aftermarket support.Hey, thatās me! Too funny. I would consider myself an objective person. Calls em like I sees em.
It's always been this way with cars dating back to the late 80's when I had an RX-7 and my friends had Mustangs, Camaros, etc. It's just worse now with keyboard warriors and the internet. People just feel the need to try to justify their purchase/decision by bashing others.I feel I'm pretty much the same, doesnāt matter what forum you go to there are always the ones that feel like if they admit a car may be better in any one way then theirs it breaks their fragile ego.

I personally like the Z, not enough to go buy one, Iāve had my fun in a Z car and donāt see it enough of a difference to want a new one, though they couldāve done something different with the front grill, the rest I think is a good car, and we NEED cars like that. With out competition there isnāt a need to build a better car.
Just saw on this forum how people are saying good to Dodge axing the Charger and Challenger and no lost here and stuff. Enthusiast in general need sporty, rwd cars, because once they are gone theyāre gone.. we will have electric and thatās it thatās the future. And thatās whatās happening. Ford dropped it first with the Mach E, rumors GM following suit with the Camaro, āSUV Camaro electric carā dodge giving out electric āmuscle carsā Once the Supra is gone, itās gone. But all some do is crap on the other car to tell themselves theirs is the ābetterā car.
People keep saying sports cars are a dying breed, I feel enthusiasts are a dying breed. Everyone want to shit on the other stuff out and the newer generation just donāt seem to care as much.
About the same price as the Supra. Tune + turbos + trans build + fuel upgrade + exhaust to get over 600WHP. That's about $1000+$2000+$6000+$1000+$1500 exhaust = ~$12K to get over the 600WHP/WTQ trans limiter.So a guesstimated $14k or so to get to 700WHP? That seems...steep, with having to drop the engine to replace turbos and all that. What's that costing folks on their Supras? Seems like a Pure Turbo replacement, tune, and maybe E85?
The Z is going to need all of that plus a full engine build to get to that power level reliably, easily double the cost.About the same price as the Supra.

Well said mate!Hey, thatās me! Too funny. I would consider myself an objective person. Calls em like I sees em.
One turbo can quiet a car down - that is 2 showing how even more muted the sound is. Not impressed. Its a nice GT with a taller roofline and Im thinking heavier than a 2 liter Supra and possibly the 3 liter. Happy to see more sportscar on the market overall but in the Z its just not making my blood warm up. Visually its color dependent. In gray is utterly forgettable. Blue is ok. The yellow is too dull, the metallic red is ok but the black roof as included with all but 3 colors is pretty crappy to force on buyers. Fail.It is pretty quiet, can't wait to hear some aftermarket exhausts on this thing.
