No, I can't see out of the Supra the way it is right now so the roof being absent would be a big plus.

To me the lines get lost a little bit. If the back was a bit longer I think it’d look better ie vette, mkiv

But there is targa developed just not factory

LOL it's true! When i try to park the 997 with the top up i'm like "fuck, i can't see a goddamn thing!" You get used to the fantastic sight lines, especially changing lanes or reverse parking.

watched one review so far. i'm happy they didn't use the typical rubbery bmw shift feel and made it their own.

the review that i read said it’s a tuned / upgraded version of the Z4 MT — and notably quite better.

Link to review?

From all the reviews I've watched, it seems like the manual transmission feels basically the same as what you would've found on a manual 240i/340i.

yeah its still basically a bmw trans. but toyota upgraded it in all the right ways.

probably has better linkages, less rubbery bushings, and they got rid of the awful cdv. might not be as 'easy' to use during rush hour as an f8x but would be more engaging when you want to have fun.

Loved my A90, but I got an oil eater. Hence the M2C now.

The Everyday Driver review posted above they both comment that it doesn't feel like the typically rubbery BMW shifter claiming it's not quite S2000 (remember that transmission only has to deal with 162 lb/ft torque) good but very good.

here’s the thing. i didnt hate them when they first came out — and I was a gen 2 and 3 celica owner that lusted for a supra… so not a fast and furious fanboi. these are are rare cars to see on the road and every time i see one, i’m excited to see it. furthermore, this car is starting to build a cult following and a strong reputation amongst track guys.

there’s no chance of getting this limited edition model, but i’m kinda maybe starting to think the manual GR model is very desirable right now.
