Manual Supra Confirmed for 23?

[ZDreamer]

I'm still torn between the Z vs the Supra. The Z for the better exterior styling or the Supra for that B58 and finally in a manual. Either way.. I know I will regret buying one over the other.

Historically, rag top convertible have pretty bad resale value. It’s likely bc the top doesn’t flow with body line.

Hmm, don't think that 25 percent will happen, I'd say closer to 50 percent, being it's the GR 3.0. But what's interesting is how will it compare to the new Z's manual uptake percentage? I think the Z will have a smaller percentage for manuals. Let's see.

Well I won't be buying a manual Supra, that's for sure!

Of course, I won't be buying an auto either.

I guess a lot of people are viewing the car as:
ZF Auto >6MT - you know…..for those 0-60 numbers SMH.

It’s funny to me when people sh!t all over Teslas and EVs yet…..when given the option of a manual and having a ‘connection’ with the car - they pass……bc autos are faster.

I say the same sht, like why don’t so many of these people love EV’s then since all they care about is going fast in a straight line and nothing else. It’s also funny how they’ll trash manual because of “traffic” but then go on the hype 0-60’s, shift times and big horsepower. Like weren’t y’all just complaining about being in traffic?

How is it that the Supra manual has a godly exhaust from factory and the manual Z sounds like a vacuum cleaner?

One is a sports car and the other is a comfy GT cruiser

If I recall Nissan claimed the reason was something about "emission and noise regulations" with manual cars wouldn't allow them to have a louder exhaust or some BS like that.

I’m an old dude (46) and all my cars I have ever owned have been manual. For me I enjoy driving cars and definitely hate traffic - but not enough to ever give up a manual. Granted if I was getting a SUV or a truck - eh, that would be different.
The one thing my friend tries to impress on me is that huge HP doesn’t equal fun and while one is slower in the MT - it’s more engaging - and….I have to agree. I know my Z is slow - but the main reason why I have it over a Supra - IS bc the Supra is no manual (at least at this point in time).

I've seen a few videos now and I haven't really heard anyone mention it, but the shifts look awkward to me. Like the cabin is a touch too cramped to be rowing through the gears.

I'm really digging the Stratospheric Blue though
