The Mk4 is still stunning to this day imo. All it needs is updated alloys and headlights and that front end its good to go!
Yellow is the best colour too!

Yeah it certainly didn’t feel slow.
Butt dyno felt more than 330bhp imo

Toyota lying about performance is a tradition
But 40 more hp than official spec is lol.
This is pretty much fact of life with anything turbo charged. The numbers just get bigger with higher HP. N/A is normally the other way round.
Also depends on the weather with turbos
They like cool and humid, hate it dry and hot.

pst... it's the same car!

Albeit the Supra variant will be more exclusive... also, will probably have more of a head turn factor than the Z4 as the design has somewhat more flavour and therefore won't be to everyone's taste so will definitely get comments.
The z4's front end is remarkably similar to the Fiat 124 Spider.

I did see a Z4 m40i in that blue the other day and the same one at the BMW forecourt and I have to say you can see the resemblance in exterior appearance to the new Supra in person.
So ultimately, if you want convertible supra buy the Z4 and if you want coupe then go Toyota Supra.

Personally, as an admirer of the old supra, and an owner of an E89 Z4, I quite like the new Supra. I think styling wise it has kept in line with the old one, whilst gaining a more modern and sleek appearance.
The new Z4, I like the rear, but not the front. Overall I prefer the design of the E89.
On the fact that the new Supra has a BMW interior, engine, etc that is only a good thing, in terms of quality.

Latest MHD maps put the B58 @ 470hp with just downpipes.

Can't think of much better value than that.

But will it do 800 like the 2JZ?
Welp...this just appeared on my Youtube recommended today. They seem to be asking this exact question and aiming for a 1000HP build.
One thing I've noticed is that you ever need your timing chain replaced on this engine, you're in for a bad time.
EDIT: I'm not a subscriber to this channel, but I like watching technical stuff like this. I thought I'd check out the rest of their channel and low and behold, they also have a video with a 2JZ teardown...so, a good comparison if you're interested
