Message back. Z was a stage 3 TT in excellent mechanical condition. It was a bitch leaning out the passenger window on the Supra to steer the Z. Thankfully I've got very long arms. God that was a shitty joke.

Handling: Supra is stiffer sprung and rides on 17" wheels so the ride is harsher. Supra has tons of grip, steering feel is about the same as the Z, maybe slighlty better. M3 beats both of them in this category.

Power: Supra does have a "dead" spot in the powerband so delivery is not as linear as the Z. Supras are really quite fast in stock form, though. Probably comparable to stage 2 TT?

Ergonomics: Supra does have a bigass hood that takes a while to get used to. Going for a short test drive, this might give the feel of a bulky car but in reality it weighs about the same as the Z and the more you drive it, the lighter it feels. Trust me. Interior looks a lot like the Z if you ask me but the speedo/tach guages aren't as nice looking.

Any specific questions about the Supra feel free to axe me.
