What other vehicle were you thinking of buying, if you did not buy the Supra?

I looked for awhile- not sure about above posts but I couldn’t find anything in the supra’s class (good street and track car) that wasn’t at least 10K more or or under powered compared to Supra. Friend of mine had a 2010 supercharged vette and just traded for a 2016 Z06. I’ve ridden, driven both, Except for the horse power I think the Supra handles as well or better and I don’t feel like I’m going to kill myself if I go full throttle coming out of a turn. I plan to put a JB4 with additional E85 mod for a little more go but that’s relatively easy and low cost. So far just put on slightly more aggressive tires and Hawk brake pads. For us mortals the Supra is a great every day driver and weekend amateur track car.

- Supra A91 Edition, 2004 IS 300
Ufff right in my feelings. I've been waiting for years for it (hence my nickname), finally gave up.
I was looking at the 2021 IS350, I'm so glad I went with the supra.

While I was working a deal on my Supra, I was also working a deal on a 2015 C7 Z51 2LT manual. A very nice car, but the Supra felt more nimble and there is plenty more power available with not too much work. I do still like the C7, however.

- 2021 A91 Supra Refraction Blue
I was actually going to supercharge my 2015 Mustang GT.
Going to cost about $15K in total for the super charger (Whipple), supporting mods (Both engine wise and suspension) and install.
Now before this, the plan for the past two years (Had a lease that ended this December) was a Supra but I figured maybe I should just modify what I have now. But then I saw the A91 sitting in a show room.
Annnd now the Mustang is relegated to clean daily status lol.

My neighbor currently has a hopped up RX-7. He’s tearing it down to build it out to a 4 stack. I believe that’s what he called it. Sounds like the equivalent of bolting on another cylinder. I’m not up on rotaries. Yikes. Sucker is loud as it stands.....

- 2021 Supra 3.0 Premium
I loved my 2015 Mustang GT (AT) and had actually submitted an order for a 2021 Mustang Mach 1 (AT). I decided to at least look at the Supra and I ended up buying one. I love the handling, speed, styling and the matte grey look of my Supra. I do miss that muscle car feel and sound and all the storage space in the Mustang. But glad I went with the Supra. It's a totally different driving experience. My son described it has "video game fast".

was also looking at the is350, that red or blue paint is gorgeous. But for me at the end of the day, i got my MKV for almost 12kCAD less then what I wouldve paid for the IS350. After I bought it, I went to check out some Genesis g70/80 also

^ Those are some sweet cars to cross-shop. The sound alone of those P-car motorsport engines....
have no car yet. I am considering the Supra, and a BMW M240i. well I was, but I can't find any new 240's left in my area. the debate is between AWD and whether I go with the RWD Supra with all seasons/winter tires for winter, or AWD 240 (RWD 240 is not being considered, as I'd rather have the supra).
I also have a budget closer to 45k than 55k, so if I can't find anything new at that range I might downgrade to a Miata with a beater, or something like a Veloster N/Civic Type R.
yes I am all over the place still... but really want a Supra if I can find one in my price range. I did consider the 2.0, but at that price point I am probably looking at other options

haha yeah those engine notes are beautiful.^ Those are some sweet cars to cross-shop. The sound alone of those P-car motorsport engines....
Ended up with the Supra though. The inner ricer / child in me still wants to mod and race so I think it'll be a couple of years before I move into the P cars.
