[quote=""DCIV""]My wife asked about a Supra the other day. I was like...if you want one I’m all for it. Then she saw how much it was. Oh well. It was a fun 2 mins.

You need more than 2 seats for the family. :ick:

Yup. Let her keep her edge and buy that as her sports car was what I was hoping.

[quote=""mjannusch""]BMW Supra. lol

I really can't see anything else in that list getting the award.

Supra is kind of so-so stock (looks like it wakes up with some mods).
Lexus RC-F - meh, more than a second slower than the Corvette 0-60.
Lotus Evora GT - better than the Lexus, but still a good amount slower and starts at $97k.
McLaren 600LT - lot of car, but for a shitload of money ($255k base).
Huracan Evo - similar to McLaren ($270k base).
M2 Comp - similar cost as Corvette, down about 90+ HP and probably in the running.
Mazda Miata - just doesn't excite me at all - bang for the buck, maybe, but not really much "new".
Veloster - nope.
911 Carrera S - $113k+, 443 hp, probably very similar to Corvette driving-wise - same old boring ass styling - I dunno.
GT-R Nismo - getting WAY too long in the tooth, they really have to come up with a significant update to it to keep it in the game.

Waiting for Mike to drop in and defend the Supra in 5, 4, 3, 2....[/quote]

if the Z4 didn't win when it came out I don't see why the Supra would.

Some Corvette Forum user wrote:That picture sure make the C8 look huge. Wonder if they could fit the Miata in the golf club holder?

There are only two cars I'd be willing to buy new on that list... The Miata and the Veloster N. Everything else is too damned expensive, and the performance envelope is way too high to enjoy anywhere but a racetrack.

You have a giant glossy poster of James May hanging in your bedroom, don't you.

Did you miss the episode of the Grand Tour where even Clarkson said he had no interest in getting out of his hot hatch for some crazy exotic car?

Also, driving every vehicle on the face of the earth whenever you want changes you.

Youtuber wrapped his ZR1 in the new C8 Rapid Blue. I like it.
