The B58 is a really good sounding engine.

Dem farts are fantastic.

I still haven't seen one in the wild.
Still waiting to see a C8, too.

I’ve seen maybe 3?

Mind you, I’m in an area where seeing Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, McLaren’s, etc. is common when the weather is nice. Supra is a rare bird.

I've never seen a Supra around here. C8's all the time :doe:

For some reason, there's a group of people with new BMW M products that must straight pipe the things. They pop and bang, and not in a good way. Michele always asks if the cars are broken because we can hear them at our house, which is about a quarter mile from the road they "race" on. Really annoying.

Straight pipes seem to be a fad sweeping through certain car groups now. Dude's keep posting videos with their GTIs sporting straight pipes and they all sound like a flaming pile of garbage.

Older cars could pull off straight pipes. My 951 was silly and I loved it.

New cars, it just doesn't work UNLESS it was tuned to like an Abarth or something.

I have a straight pipe on my Mini.... Works great... but as you mentioned factory tune requires it. And this is also why my midget chariot is getting worse MPG than a giant 3 series with the same motor.

I have yet to see a C8, don't really see Supras though either, maybe 3 total in the wild. 911s, C7s, etc. are all a dime a dozen here :doe:

Turbo motors sound like :poop: so the farts, cracks, and pops are the only interesting noises IMO. Well, those and the whooshes.

I ran my LS1 Camaro SS (heads, cam, intake) with Grotyohann headers, no cats and the SLP Loudmouth mufflerless setup.. It was mean.

On the C5 I went catless for a bit with LG headers and the Z06 titanium exhaust, then put the cats on to kill the smell. Sounded tame through the Z06 exhaust, but I liked it.

Yep, my C5 had long tubes and Z06 Ti exhaust. Sounded great, but rather restrained.

My C6 had somewhere in that power range and it could scare me occasionally. I wouldn't really care for more in a package that size. :like:

I always forget how small it is. Nearly 400hp in a car with a 97" wheelbase could get sketchy. Still love it though.

I categorize it as a car I like but don't want to own unless I had more disposable income to pick it up new or lease it or something. BMW complexity is kind of a turn off for me.

On the flip side it's cool that I've only really seen a couple of them on the roads around me so they might have good resale value.

Motortrend basically said that if you bought the '20; "sucks to suck". In their opinion the '21 is a big improvement.

Without driving either I'd rather have the B series engine than the S. I think the Zupra looks awesome but the M2 is a much more practical car, and doesn't have the horrendous wind buffeting issue.

Plenty of 2016-2018 M2's to chose from. About 30-40% cheaper than a new supra, and most M2s still have a warranty.

Same-ish wheelbase and power as a 911 S.
