Did I say as small and cramped? No, I said as nice. The fit and finish is better, the material better, the sound insulation better.

You misspelled BMWā¦
Very little of that car is Toyota (at least the parts that matter)

Bye. You made a great choice.
This is what happens when a manufacturer, Ford, offers a current subpar product, and another manufacturer, Toyota, offers a better product.
[/QUOTE
I love Fords. I guess you say I bleed blue. I am sure that their are vehicles out their that are ābetterā than a comparable Ford product. I would rather drive a Ford than anything else. I grew up with Fords. I attend the Ford Nationals every year and look forward to seeing my fellow blue oval enthusiasts friends up there. I have been buying Mustangs new and used for the last 29.5 years. I am a veteran, and come from a family with a proud history of service to our country. I canāt imagine trading in a Mustang, an American legend, on a Toyota. Even if the Toyota was a better deal, better performer, better everything. Times have changed, but I still believe in buying American. I try to support Union Workers, as I myself am a Union worker.

Honestly the 3.0 Supra is an amazing, Simple ECU tune and dps e85 mix your around 550hp, enough to gap Cammed FBO 10speeds , when I was 93oct low psi 7 on my Ess setuo, I was Neck to neck with my friends Supra and hes still stock turbo, thats extremely impressive.

I cross-shopped the Supra, itās a really nice platform with a lot of aftermarket support. I have not driven the manual version but I heard the gearing is better than the auto. Enjoy!

I did the same thing----
17 GT350 to 23 Manual Supra A91 (+6k in markup). Beautiful car and turned heads everywhere it went.
Spent $$$ trying to get it to sound like anything other than quiet in the cabin. Thought I had it figured out with the AA DP but it threw codes on the two brand new units I did get. Maybe it was the 23s? I also tried out two different exhausts (ETS which sounded killer but the drone was murder on the ear drums, and HKS which was meh) to make it sound better but alas, came to the conclusion that a V8 is what was right for me. Granted the MACH1 isn't nearly as nimble as the supra it sure is a hell of a lot more visceral.
The shifter in the supra is nice and not as vague or lackluster as any of the BMW shifters before it. Hope you like it! That 45th anniversary looks sharp
I do miss the interior which was very comfortable despite the visibility which I did not have any issues with.

They were able to stick on that ugly Toyota steering wheel. First thing I would do is get a new steering wheel. Cool car though and fast but I could never get over the sound.....

I would have missed the V8 sound 25 years ago. But, being hearing impaired now has some advantages. My Z4 could sound like a 2 stroke weed wacker and I'd hardly notice.

I understand the pride in American products. Im an Active Duty Marine with 22yrs of service so I can confidently say I am biased towards America. I try and buy all American made products. Sometimes itās just hard to not get something a little nicer. Iām willing to pay more for an American product if itās good. Not saying the mustang wasnāt good. The 10r80 for me was meh. And the MT82 is trash. The Tremec is the way to go, but not all of us can buy GT350s.
Either way. Iām curious to see how this new car holds up once the newlywed phase is over
P.S. Thank you for your service. I genuinely mean that. What branch did you serve in and when? Maybe we chewed some of the same dirt

The MT82 isnāt ideal. I have owned several and actually have never had an issue. The gearing is wide ratio 18+ which is good if FI. I served 96-02 in the USN. Went all over the world. Had a tremendous experience and was stationed East Coast/West Coast/Yokuska, Japan. Thanks for your continued service as well. Enjoy the new ride and come on back to a Mach 1 next time. They are tremendous deal now with values tanking and a Tremec to boot.
