Would the Supra being a M/T made the decision a bit harder going back to a Camaro?
Been toying with the idea on checking the Supra.

I was cross shopping the two, I am a manual guy but the Supra manual comes out to 60k. That is way too close to zl1 pricing imo so I eliminated the manual and cross shopped the zf8 speed against my manual 2ss 1le. In the end, I choose the camaro for the simple facts that manual rwd v8 coupes are all but extinct after 2024 with the exception of the mustang. If this weren’t the case I would have 100% choose the Supra because I wanted to try something different.

I sampled a new Supra, cool car but that roofline will bust yer' head open
during ingress/ egress visibility is better in the Gen 6 Supra desperately needs the 1LE brakes also |

I ran a new supra the other day, I thought it would be quicker. They apparently really wake up with a DP and E85 tune but I can't get past it being a glorified BMW.
Nice upgrade 👍 |

Have several track friends that have went from a ZLE or a SS 1LE to the Supra. I know with the rights mods they can be a fast track car.

Subjective, but exhaust note makes it a no brainer for the pushrod v8.

I came out of a prior-gen BMW Z4. While the new Z4 performs like the Supra, I did drive it and they are really different machines. The Z4/Supra is a smaller platform and is great for a touring vehicle. The 1LE has track ability and feels it, even in sport mode. The Z4 is coming out with a 6 speed in March 2024, but for almost 80k, it's in ZL1 territory and maybe not worth the coin!

So I am curious what your impressions are, OP. I bought a LE Supra when they came out in 2019 and had it for 3 years. I really liked the car overall besides the auto which really spoiled the driving experience for me.
I’ve been looking at picking up a manual SS 1LE and was curious how you thought the visibility compared between the two? |

Welcome back, you made the right choice lol
I sold my 5th Gen SS a little over a year ago and when they announced the axing of the Camaro I put my feelers back out and ended up with a 2SS 1LE

I definitely envy the Supra's lighter weight but otherwise I'm very happy with my SLE and plan on keeping it long term.
