Thoughts on my new 21 Supra.(Former 17 Stingray owner)

[bhamvett]

First off, let me say the C7 Corvette is a great car, in any form. And the C8 is next level great. My 21 Supra is not broken in yet, so I have not hammered down on the throttle. My initial impressions are very positive. The Supra handles better than my 17 Stingray(had magnetic suspension). The Supra has less pitch and roll at higher speeds and the rear stays more planted. The steering is 100 times better than the Stingray. More feel and better on center feel. The brakes are about the same. The Stingray had bigger stock back brakes. Power feels good in the Supra. I am expecting it to be every bit as fast as the Stingray once I break the motor in right. The Supra has less wind noise and rides better(smoother). No exhaust pops in the Stingray. Supra exhaust sounds great. So far I am very pleased with the car. Only time will tell how well it holds up.

Nice, congrats man. I own both the Supra and a C7gs, both cars are different in their own perspective. The vette is a great car yes, but the Supra has a factor that's unexplainable against the vette. I have more people turn heads, take pics and come up to talk to me about the Supra more than when i drive my vette.. i've done heavy canyon spirited runs in the Vette and driven the Supra hard on the track. All i have to say is that both cars will surprise you haha.

Congrats on having both cars. I wish I could have kept the C7. Not happening with a child in College.

My best friend recently got a 2017 Corvette manual trans. It is nice enough but no where near as fast as my e50-tuned Supra. That would take a Z06 at least.

Just sold my 16 C7 Z51 last week. Ended up getting 5k more for it than what I paid last year so it was a no brainer. Getting a 21' 3.0 soon! Thanks for the input

@bhamvett
Any plans with the Supra? As far as taking it beyond stock

No. I am the service manager at a Toyota dealership and 52 years old. Stock is plenty fast for me.
