Which is what's sad. The Supra is a cheaper, uglier, 50HP slower Z4 with no convertible top. The only thing it's got going for it, according to side-by-side reviews, is the Supra "feels smoother" and it's cheaper. For $50k, if everything else about it is boring, I at least want it to knock me into my seat.

If I got a Toyota sports car today, it would be the 86 with an aftermarket turbo or supercharger. With 100hp boost, it would reach about a 1:8.8 power to weight ratio, compared to the Supra's about 1:10. Cost: about $30K.

Or a MKIV Supra...
The MKIV is incredibly sexy, but it's got worse power:weight than a boosted 86, and it's over 20 years old, so maintenance will become a hassle.
Yeah but it’s a Supra. :)
