Exactly…I’m not racing it, it will be my daily, and used for driving the winding roads for some fun….for me it’s great.Fairly well summed up here. The supra is a better car, but it all depends on what you are buying it for, the Z should be a great tourer
My pleasure! Yeah it's definitely fun, but to me it's not 20k more fun than the twins. They're such a great value now with that new engine.Thanks @MattMaran for answering our questions in your review!
Versus the twins, it seems the trade-off is insane acceleration versus that light agile tossability of the twins.
Exactly! That right there is the great equalizer. Considering getting the GR86 and saving thousands.My pleasure! Yeah it's definitely fun, but to me it's not 20k more fun than the twins. They're such a great value now with that new engine.
I dont know how popular the twins are in the US, but here it’s what all the kids buy coz they can’t afford a mustang or 370Z…they are everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE!My pleasure!

Looking forward to your week with the GR86, it will likely be between the twins for me. Hopefully it has less snap oversteer than you and another reviewer noticed in the BRZ, although Autoblog is saying the GR86 is less compliant on-road, so let us know your experience there.My pleasure!

Will do! I have it in the driveway right now and it's a little hard to judge them back to back in the oversteer department because it's about 20 degrees warmer now and the PS4s are a lot stickier now, but the little oversteer I was able to provoke so far was definitely more progressive than the BRZ. I still think if I were buying one I'd go for the base car for less grip, or swap the PS4s for the all-season Pilots instead for a happy medium maybe.Looking forward to your week with the GR86, it will likely be between the twins for me.

Yeah I'd been thinking of just that, swapping in Pilot A/S 4s, it would also do away with the need for winter tires as I won't drive it in any significant snow..

Definitely looking forward to it as well.Will do!

Thanks for that assessment. The Z Performance by the time it leaves a dealership even at MSRP will be in the $50-$55K range. So, what's your take in comparison to others at that price range, talking about overall value, driveability, interior quality, etc?My pleasure!

I compare it to Supra and touch on all those points towards the end of my video so I'd rather not retype them all here. There isn't much else that's this powerful in this price range other than the American muscle stuff, which I think also have the Z beat in most ways, at least Camaro and Mustang.Thanks for that assessment.
