Yea thread title should be changed to, "low key brag about how wealthy you are." Haha
Damn red with black wheels, best color combo in your mini pic ? Do they make that with the beige/tan interior now?

And whatever the title is called…. I love cars. Keep em coming!!

Supra; TTRS; SLC43
Mind giving a quick comparison review of your 3 amigos? I looked hard at the TTRS and SLC before commiting to the Supra and Z4.
SLC43 - comfortable luxury cruiser. Least sporty of the 3 and it’s the softest riding of the 3. Interior is the same as prior gen SLKs, so it’s older MB design but fit and finish is what you expect from a higher trim MB. A bit more spacious and comfortable to daily than the Supra. The sport + in this car is too gimmicky for my tastes… sounds like the engineers were trying too hard with the loss of the V8 when the SLK was rebranded to the SLC, and sport + sounds obnoxiously loud for how fast (or rather how slow) it is. 9 speed DCT is ok, worst of the 3 but quick and responsive. The C43 engine line is also clearly the weakest/slowest of the 3. Plan to go JB4 eventually (currently have JB4s on the TTRS and Supra). Has the most comfortable seats of the 3 as well.

TTRS - Fastest of the 3 in a straight line. Feels like more of a sports car than the SLC. Interior is nicest of the 3 - but I personally dislike the single dash screen (no media screen in center console), so if you use CarPlay, it eats up the entire electronic dash and the Speedo/tach shrink off to the sides. Also the stiffest ride of the 3, has the infamous Audi steer, haldex awd is rudimentary but works well in the TTRS since it’s small. Best sounding engine of the 3 and Audi’s DCT slightly edges out the ZF8 IMO.

Supra - the only real sports car of the 3. I still maintain it is the best price to performance sports car on the market. Actually has a lot of features the TT and SLC lack. Not as stiff as TTRS, but stiffer than the SLC - best dampened suspension from the factory of the 3. The Supra is the only one that feels dangerous when driving hard. Only con I think of is the cabin is the smallest, but still my favorite of the cars in our household. Not much to say here since most of us have one and we all know it’s a great car.

Thanks for the feedback BraveDemon. I didn't get to test drive a TTRS, so this is insightful stuff. A backseat is EVERYTHING on the rare occasion I need it. And agree about the way the Sup feels when driven hard.

Oddly enough I despise screens on the dashboard. I appreciate what Audi did with the TT dash for this last gen.

Great analysis of all three!!

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust (and/or catless downpipe) on the Supra? That alone really kicks her up another few notches.
