current mustang interior, even the base one, beats the previous s197 out of the water. Murican cars have stepped up their interior game as this is coming from someone whose dad has owned nothing but Murican as his last four cars, including the current Explorer, which still holds up well after 60k miles as far as interior, minus the steering surface due to the use of heated steering (which replaced by warranty)

Better everything than a C5, (Although my MOMO wheel is great, stock was Silverado spec).
C5 interior is abysmal . I think the new Mustangs are quite nice, but I'm too poor to DFD really.

New Mustangs are fine. Not class leading by any stretch, but perfectly fine. The C5 is terrible, but it's a $10k car that's fast AF so

New Z4 sDrive30i vs 718 Boxster review in Car and Driver mag showed up in my mail. The Porsche was 8k more, mind you fairly devoid of options and came with a tranny, but it crushed the beamer in all driving metrics . Sounds like the Cayman vs Supra is likely the same, so if I had money to play in this segment I'd likely be leaning towards a used manual Cayman in Miami blue 5 out of 7 days.

In hindsight, while I loved my z4, the cockster would have had more staying power.

And it should at that price point. It seems like toyota put some ringer cars out there however, as they are "faster" than the #s would suggest... much faster....
I wonder when the real car will hit the streets.

Only the 4th Gen Supra was all that . It's the only one capable of 1200 whp on stock internals
It'll be interesting to see them once they get some on dynos. BMW engines are always underrated.
I think they're supposed to be out in July.

It must be pretty seriously under rated, I mean it is heavier than my car and less powerful and does the quarter-mile in like 1.5 seconds less.
I am actually with you that it is pretty damn sweet, I like the 370 Z and all but to say that this isn’t just way nicer is ridiculous. The interior and exterior are both eons above the Z, And this is coming from a person that actually likes the 370 Z.

You can get a great 370z for 25k a Bmw is double.D Griff wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 8:36 amIt must be pretty seriously under rated, I mean it is heavier than my car and less powerful and does the quarter-mile in like 1.5 seconds less.

That's where I am at ATM. It is EZ to get 50-100 extra whp out of a B58, and those times are just a little strong.

Although I’m more likely to get a Z I’m sure due to and
As expected.
