Sticker? Outside of a GT350, all muscle cars are wildly discounted. Having said that, I just configured a Bullitt for $53k, not much more you could add to it. It's probably 400 pounds heavier than the Supra, but will have an extra 80 or so hp too.

Certainly a bigger, different type of car, with a back seat, larger trunk and probably wildly larger gas tank if BMW sticks to their stupidly small tank in Z cars. Of course the Mustang is a manual, which is either a good thing or bad.

I really don't see a large market for this Supra. The muscle cars will remain comfortably more powerful and cheaper. The Cayman and 4C will remain sportier and more focused. I think the most promising thing for the Supra would be if Mazda and/or Nissan resurrect the RX or Z to create some competition for this thing.
