i had a B9 S4 and got bored of it after a year

I get bored most of all cars after a year. That doesn’t mean the car is boring.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

im not gon lie that audi s7 suv is hard af
would get that for my wife :fire

 

[waitwut]

he's not technically wrong, since the B58 came out in 2015? but you're right, the current non-M cars still use the B58

When the Supra was announced I was actually surprised they didn’t give it the older n55

 

[Mark Antony]

Dudes too grown to Still be doing the dbag for the sake of being a dbag thing.

 

[mplsdunk]

S Audis are boring. That’s kind of the point of them to be understated and pack a

They shouldn’t be compared to m cars.

If you disagree we can throw hands.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

personally i like the audi s cars more since they are more rare and everyone in la has an /m or amg

 

[mplsdunk]

I like them too. The old rs4 with the v8 and a manual was nasty.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

I've always wanted one of these rs5s with the v8 and a stick

wonder if they are worth buying at this age tho

 

[mplsdunk]

why not? The v8 are pretty reliable.

 

[Mark Antony]

I wouldn't go that far.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

I wouldn't go that far.

yeah i wouldnt go that far either

They also have huge wheel fitment. 20x10.5 front and rear. The current one has a much weaker fitment.

 

[mplsdunk]

I mean it’s not going to be a corolla but the engines and transmissions don’t explode either.

im curious as to what cars you've owned making a statement like this.

me personally I've owned about 7 (all used) and the only one I was done with was a 2010 Mazda 3 which was actually solid and reliable, but the low profile tires were a nightmare

yeah i think this was the golden age of audi design in recent times compared to what they are putting out now IMO
the a7 of this generation was also a banger

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

good point, i feel like most N/A applications have pretty good longevity

 

[mplsdunk]

If you just want one for a fun car to have and not some daily trying to be economical it would be fine imo.

Don’t be like my wife and get da sq5 then ***** when gas prices go up. that’s the price we have to pay.

I used to daily an rx-7 though so I’m immune to gas prices and reliability complaints at this point.

WOW

 

[mplsdunk]

13mpg and an engine life of 60k before a rebuild.

I should have small blocked it just to piss people off, I regret selling that one for sure.

My god did you even read the link you posted? lol

This is the best version in the Z's storied history, but the Toyota GR Supra simply outmatches it. While styling may be subjective, resistance to the Supra's exterior design may be enough to drive some shoppers to the Z, however.

In every other way, the Supra wins the bout as the superior sports car. As much as the Z is better than the 370Z it replaces, it's more of a "sporty" car compared to the Supra. Perhaps a future higher-performing Nismo Z could help even the scorecards, but it's unlikely that will correct the interior missteps. To wrap it all up in a final boxing metaphor, the Z is swinging wildly hoping for a lucky knockout, while the Supra confidently lands unanswered precision strikes.

. I’ve driven many Supras, tracked them and driven the Z4. Need to drive the new Z.

2023 Nissan Z vs. Toyota GR Supra Comparison Test: The ’80s Are Calling

It's Z against Supra in a battle for supremacy among new sports cars with old names.

www.motortrend.com

Another comparison the Supra destroys the Z. Like the performance isn’t close. Mind you I still LOVE the Z and glad it’s here. But it’s more a refresh it’s not an all new car.

In Summary

Supra is lighter
Supra is faster
Supra brakes better
Supra has high skidpad numbers
Supra has better steering
Supra has better handling

Yeah the magazine racing is cool, and I respect my former colleagues, but this current version of the Z isn’t in the same class from a driving perspective vs. the Supra.

The Supra, while Japanese in its application, is stiffer, the controls feel better, and overall feels like a product not designed a decade ago, with more of a hint of German centric body integrity/solidness.

The good news for Z fans? The upcoming Z Nismo addresses a lot of the suspension control (and wider tires, IMO the current Z needs wider contact patches, and way better suspension tuning which is evident even on moderately challenging roads).

The new supra is one of the cars that I hated when they released initially but it's grew on me alot.

Agreed. I’m just happy both are here tbh. Glad to see Nissan stick it through. I know the Supra isn’t all Toyota but it’s fantastic. Agreed on the Nismo.

Lucky to have chatted with Tamura san a few times over the year….

Love the Spice levels.

Thanks so much man . About to start sending out my resume to some companies.

JazakAllah my brother. Ngl I failed my 1st attempt 2 weeks ago. It's 4 categories- Air Brake test/Vehicle Inspection/Basic Control/Road. I aced the 1st 3 & failed the road part. Didn't call out all the hazards, didn't drive fast enough on the highway & may or may not have run a red light.

But today I was beast mode. Called out each & every hazard, went up to proper highway speed, stayed & monitored my lane & didn't run no reds, lol. Alhumdulillah feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. 4 months & $1600 later I got it YEAH

Very proud of you. I feel safer knowing that next time I visit NY I will have one less big truck to worry about hitting da Uber.
