Both cars have their purpose. Your analogy was on point but I dont think people realize the difference between a dedicated sports car and a sports car built to be driven as an everyday car. The Supra does what it was built to do well just as the Gtr does the job it was made to do well. It's all about the tolerances of the consumer. Both great cars!
Great and honest commentaries Brian, very informative. I own a R35 GTR , and a Cayman S . Agree entirely with your observations, and my two cars have so much distinct characters but equally fun to drive on weekends !
For all the people knocking the Supra because it is mostly a BMW, Toyota collaborated with them to maintain the inline-6 spirit and driving dynamics of the MkIV. I currently own a 2018 BMW M4 6MT modded to over 650 whp and it has been rock solid with no problems whatsoever (yes I upgraded my crank hub but only very recently). That being said, the R35 has always been my dream car for many years, I was just scared away by the ownership costs. It is Godzilla after all, but is a VERY special car. Right now I'm trying to decide between the R35 and the Supra to add to the garage beside the M4. This video is VERY helpful and informative because both cars have their strengths and weaknesses, but BOTH are at the top of my list
Great comparison, I absolutely agree the GTR feels special. My other car is a Buick Grand National. Both 3.8 turbos with two different purposes. Love your channel keep up the great work!
I have a Range Rover SVR, a gt350R, and the mk5 Supra got to say I agree with daily feeling of the car it is amazing, the Shelby is a little more of a monster like your GTR and the Range Rover is more so luxury and not really comparable but of course also a great car .
@@BrosFOURRSpeed absolutely! That's a good point. If Supra had back seats, I would've gone for Supra, mostly cause of the price difference. Also, Supra proven to have lots potential over the decades. So, wouldn't be a bad choice over the GTR! But man for now GTR is just too damn sexy lol
I have a 17 GTR FBO as well On 91, but daily my ML550, and put away the GTR in the winter (in Canada here). Your right I couldn’t drive the GTR everyday even in the summer, but mostly cause I can’t leave it parked in certain areas for too long etc, and having to pick people up/move stuff.
GTR! C63 was an awesome car. And I filmed a sedan and coupe, both were a ton of fun! But they still have that artificial feeling too them. Super refined and comfortable, and loaded with tech. But if you want a supercar experience, GTR is the way to go! If you are looking for a good daily tho, the C63 would be nice. If I could have 4 vehicles, I'd have one in the garage
Thanks for the video! I wish the GTR was better handling though. From what you say the handling isn't as good and the GTR was going to be my next car. I currently have a 350z.
Bro the gtr handles so good don't worry, remember on top gear Clarkson broke his neck in one!!!!! Watch reveiws everyone raves about the handling, the grip is amazing!!!!
@@pain.497 That’s the 4 cylinder. The inline 6 starts around $54K or so. I was just rounding up. I bought both of mine for MSRP, should’ve said $55K lol
Better is very subjective to what the person wants in a vehicle. For example I could say my Titan is better than both the GTR and Supra. What I am looking for in a vehicle is versatility, off road capability, and towing/payload capacity. Good video either though.
Yup, thats exactly my point in the vid. People always ask me why I bought the Supra since the GTR is sooo much 'better'. But like you said, I bought them for different reasons and they are better then each other for different uses
It's worth to add that you compare with the oldest gtr the one every one can afford. 2017 model which no one can afford has a lot better ride quality and softer suspension.
I like both of your cars! Last Sunday I drove to my local Toyota dealership just to snoop around and saw that they had two red Supra's sitting on their parking lot. The first one had an MSRP of $56,000 and the second car had an MSRP of $57,000 with a sign printed on white paper that said do not touch and that there would be no test driving this car. They also raised the price to $67,000 and I'm guessing it was a Launch Edition but there wasn't much apparent difference between the two cars. The Supra is a wonderful sports car but there is no way on earth I would pay $67,000 for it!
I actually drove a 2019 Track edition. It's very stiff. The suspension and chassis in the GTR is designed for the track, so there is no flex in it. Thats why I love comfort mode in the Suspension. Makes daily driving in it very nice! The chassis being so stiff is what you feel with it.
I love both of your cars!! I love the Supra better tho! It’s so sexy! Lol! Do y’all like Tesla? I want a Tesla! I can’t wait for the Tesla pickup truck!
I drove my first Tesla 2 weeks ago (Model 3 Performance) and the acceleration was insane! Handling pretty good too. I'm kind of torn between do I go Tesla, GTR or some Euro (M4) for my next car.
GT-R is such a hideous car.. 115K at launch more than a decade ago before 50% inflation today, it would be a 170K car today, that's 3 Supras, not 2... The GTR uses a generic V6, for real... a 170k car with a V6, a handicapped V8 basically nothing special... and you need another car to not sell it because of how terrible handles... at its pricepoint is so underwhelming.
They have a starting MSRP at $122K for a 2024… This is your experience after owning one? I had mine 5.5 years, 700 HP, an amazing car! An incredible engine, great handling and awd to put the power down. Highly doubt that’s what you thought after driving and experiencing one.. Also on the used market, you can buy one for similar price to a new Supra, or slightly more depending on miles..
On point! The rawness of the older cars especially rx7 FD is the best!
It sure is!

Tazmn Wilson Exactly! I love the combo of the two cars. They compliment each other so well 👌🏼
Despite being a GTR fan, I like how you portray both cars in all fairness
They are completely different types of car so can't really say one is better or worse! Both are great!
Great and honest commentaries Brian, very informative. I own a R35 GTR , and a Cayman S . Agree entirely with your observations, and my two cars have so much distinct characters but equally fun to drive on weekends !
nice! I'm sure the Cayman has a lot of similarities with the Supra. Nice duo!

Kase Williams Nice! You’d love a GTR! It’s go well nice to a GT
Respect both cars theyre fast in their own ways btw supra lover here
Exactly! All cars offer something different just depending on what the buyer wants! They are all fun in their own way!
There both amazing cars in there own way
Thivakar saravanamuthu Exactly!
They’re *
Loved it, definitely cant wait to see the C8
That will be an epic car!
Great comparison, I absolutely agree the GTR feels special. My other car is a Buick Grand National. Both 3.8 turbos with two different purposes. Love your channel keep up the great work!
Wow thats prettifying cool! Definitely two different cars for you lol
I know when I get a newer car with all the electronics powering it, that I will probably also miss the mechanical feeling of an old style car.

Thats definitely a nice lineup for you! I've always liked the 350R! I know those are pretty mechanical feeling!
Like both but I would take GTR anyday!
Oh yeah! GTR is twice the car all day and always has the wow factor. Supra is a great all around car tho. And is some fun!

Looking at buying a GT-R tossing up between that or c63. What would you recommend?

Bro the gtr handles so good don't worry, remember on top gear Clarkson broke his neck in one!!!!! Watch reveiws everyone raves about the handling, the grip is amazing!!!!
it is one of the best handling car ever made. its not made to be driven casually around corners. the gtr would shit on that supra on a turn track
@@brentayres12 You’re right, I ended up buying the GTR. I am still surprised at how well it handles especially for being a bigger car.
If it were between the BMW Supra or the GTR it would definitely be the GTR
For $60K, the Supra is an amazing option! Half price GTR!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed they're only selling it for 46k where I'm at brand new from the dealer. Unless it's the anniversary edition you're talking about

Do you prefer GR supra or r35 for narrow mountain roads?
If they are super tight, I'd rather be in the Supra. Not super tight, GTR
What sound system do you like better?
Honestly they both sound good. I'm not picky with audio sound. I have music on in the background, but I listen to the engine/turbo/exhaust more ;)
Both cars i like, but if i had to choose one it would definitely be the Supra!!👍✊🚘
A91 Supra, GT35 S2000 and Supercharged Clown Shu.
What do you mean by the last part of the comment?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Z3M Coupe which is known to be called The Clown Shu. My default picture.

Mark Knox Oh cool! Yeah it’s stupid to pay over sticker. Myself and sooo many others paid MSRP. Awesome car for sticker!
Well the GTR is 7 years old. Her suspension might be a bit more used- if you had a 2017 or 18 maybe the ride wouldn't be so hard? Idk.
I actually drove a 2019 Track edition. It's very stiff. The suspension and chassis in the GTR is designed for the track, so there is no flex in it. Thats why I love comfort mode in the Suspension. Makes daily driving in it very nice! The chassis being so stiff is what you feel with it.
M5 is all I say!
M5 is a great car for sure! Fantastic luxury car
You may feel the same when you have kids or doggies. They all have their own personality.
I want GT-R 😭
Keep working towards it and it'll happen!! The GTR was a 10 year process for me! Anything is possible!!
Bros FOURR Speed thanks man 😎👌🏻
I love the GTR
GTR! I don't like the bm's...
This is not a supra. Not sure why toyota is trying so hard to market a rebadged BMW so badly. That BMW cannot compare in any way to a GTR.
Which is better. A Nissan GTR or BMW with a Toyota body. Well my opinion is hand down the GTR.
I love both of your cars!! I love the Supra better tho! It’s so sexy! Lol! Do y’all like Tesla? I want a Tesla! I can’t wait for the Tesla pickup truck!

Raul Guler I would go Tesla!!
Well the gtr is better than the z4 but id rather have a mk4 supra
The next Toyota Avalon is going to be based on the bmw 5 series. This is just the beginning lol. At least the GT-R is still a Nissan.
Gtr is raw mechanical street racer.
Supra is bmw .
BMW makes really great cars and engines. So thanks for the compliment.

Tired of seeing these same cars over and over.

There nice cars
I know when I get a newer car with all the electronics powering it, that I will probably also miss the mechanical feeling of an old style car.
