Oh you are talking about interior. Yea for sure. It took me about two weeks for me to stop smacking my head on the roof getting into the car. lol
Out of habit, I often move my head way out of the way of the roof line to get into any vehicle now. I probably look ridiculous when it’s not the Supra.

The overhang that is part of the Supra's roof is what taller guys tend to dislike. One of my former coworkes (6' tall) sat in my car today and commented that he doesn't like the shape of the roof due to its propensity to hit his head. A C7 would not solicit that type of comment. But yes, some people will sacrifice form over function.
I mean for taller people in our community. There best bet would probably changing the harness bar in the trunk. It does free up some space. Another thing would probably be getting new seats as well.

I definitely have no problem with that. My C5 Corvette felt like a tank compared to my MX5.

Most cars feel like tanks compared to a Miata! ;)

This was my MX5-RF...Nimble in the twisties but gutless as all hell...

2016-2018 MX5s can be outfitted with an Edelbrock supercharger (option for CARB legal tune) for 200 HP at the wheels - not bad for a 2300 lb car!

Well... I bought a Supra, bought a C8, bought a C7 Z06 M7. Tracked all 3. Sold the Supra.. 🤷‍♂️

That said, I will have another Supra -- a 6sp -- at some point, I'm sure. There's really nothing else in the 50-60k range that checks all of the boxes.

The Lexus LC is a solid alternative I really considered. It’s more on GT side with some sport sprinkled in compared to a sports car with some GT sprinkled in like the Supra. If they hadn’t come out with the 6speed I most likely would have gotten that if the I had resisted the CT5 blackwing. I have had a CTS-V before though and that car was bolted together like a Chevy cavalier. On paper it was perfect, just lacking some execution. I fear the blackwing would be similar for 125k :oops:
