Which would you take home?

Supra for me too. I actually like that Toyota have taken a BMW sportscar and had the balls to make it better looking and handling. Wouldn’t take one over a Cayman or Alpine, mind.
The Toyota promo cars were getting properly eyeballed at Le Mans and generated a real buzz. No way would that have happened with a convoy of G29s. This whole 276bhp redux thing is totally deliberate and already helping make the Supra a bit more special.

Ignoring your obvious brand loyalty how is it a tough decision :?
One stirs me with emotion & desire :evil: the other makes me biliousguess that makes it a easier decision :wink:
For me as the Supra just looks great, however always had a soft spot for Z Cars.

If I was spending 50k on a BMW I’d take an M2. More engaging, more character, better looking and whilst it’s not a pure bred sportscar, I’ll bet it feels sportier than either.
As a fun car however, I think I’d get more enjoyment from a new MX5 with some ITBs and a few other choice mods.
All things considered, I think I’ll just keep the MC, best of all worlds

100% Supra at this stage, its better in every way IMHO
At last a voice of common sense. There are so many comments made as if people actually drive these things to their limits. Of course, there are always some that can, and do, but the other 95% will pick a car based on how it looks, and how it makes them feel. Pick which one does that for you, and enjoy your driveronk said:

Thanks for that link.
I just watched it - maybe Toyota are using the BMW US spec engine that is claimed to have 382bhp! :lol:
BMW always seem to underquote their power outputs, the B58 in the M140i seems to be pushing out 360/370 on a stock engine so a good 20 plus bhp over, having said that the Supra clearly has the legs over the Z4 so I imagine Toyota have been tweaking here and there

Car Throttle has had one on the dyno......

Suppose you need something to keep you entertained in the G29...
It’s always apparent when reading threads like this that the majority of vituperative attacks on the G29 come from E85 and E86 owners. Apparent but not surprising as they don’t appear to think much of the E89 either so why on earth would the like the G29.
Strange really as although the E86 isn’t a bad looking car (as coupes go) the E85 was criticised for its looks on launch and hasn’t improved much with age. I appreciate that owners tend to wear beer goggles but even they must admit it isn’t the best looking car in the World. To be fair neither is the G29 but the criticism it receives by some on this forum is out of all proportion to the way the car looks and performs.
