I think it's a personal choice. Personally, if I was looking for a toy, I'd be cross shopping the supra (if a mt was available) with a cayman. The bad thing about the cayman is that you'd want to get a few options but then say to yourself, no I'll forgo the options and get the gts 4.0 with the flat 6 and in the end you end up wanting a 911.
Regarding the m4.. I think for such a big car I'd rather just go for the m3. Regarding the Vette, I consider it the budget knockoff for the segment it's trying to compete in. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a great car. But it is what the fiat 124 is to the miata in my opinion. |

I was in similar boat and picked up 991.2 911 in addition to my F80 M3.
Supra is crap imo - i test drove one. Light steering even in sport, laggy throttle response, tranny shifts slowly unless your in Sport mode; can’t see out of it, and uncomfortable driving position. C8 - go check one out up close. Still has the kit car look to me and there is a reason its $60k. Already several recalls on this car. M4 or M2comp would be my choices. |

I've seen the C8 in person a few times, it's proportions are all off.
Am I the only person who read the Car and Driver review where the Z51 model was having tranny issues at the track with stock tires? Ridiculous, and typical for these cars where it's engineered to tick the boxes but they forgot to make a good car while they were at it. Who cares about the 0-60? The Supra is interesting, but will still feel inferior to a real M car. I vote M4 |

For me, a car having overheating issues (whether car or gearbox) with stock tires at the track is an automatic hard pass. Gearbox calibrations won't fix a transmission lagging when it's hot. Last one I saw at VIR blew an engine while running in the beginner group. Complete coincidence I'm sure.

To me the C8 is a head turner for the wrong reasons but this is all opinion. |

Have you thought about M340 or M440? Saying this because if you are a Bimmer guy, then it will be hard switching. I tried before and I failed. Both cars fits nicely with your budget. Are you looking for a toy car or a DD? Do you have another car to use? Sorry if you answered these questions before

I don't know how long you keep cars or if this is a daily driver or not. But if this is a long term toy, perhaps to keep 20 years I believe the C8 is the one you'll be glad you bought and it's resale will be better.
If I had a 3rd space in my garage I'd be considering a C8 or Porsche Cayman. Mid engine oh my. |
