So now that the Supra is coming out with a 6sp manual transmission, would anyone consider that over the C8?
C8 or Supra

Not for one second
If the supra comes with 10 sp manual the results will be
CORVETTE it's CORVETTE
supra still supra ....
CORVETTE it's CORVETTE

Lol- I love the passion for the Corvette!
This is my first one and I agree. However, if I was in the market today without ever owning a Corvette, then who knows…. I still can’t believe I bought a $100,000 car without ever having driven one- or better yet, my wife let me do it!

Having owned three Mock 3 bodys in my life and putting 400,000 km on each one of them as a family car . I have great respect for Toyota and still have an antique forerunner and pick up . But under no circumstances wouId i consider the BMW styled built and Worinty based supra under any circumstances . If you want A standerd Look for a clean C7 . It’s funny because you’re more to buy a mock 4 Supra than the new BMW one why is that .
Ditto!
On the Supra: It's still a front engine car! There are way too many choices for those to really care about the Supra

supra is not on the same level, actually its a few levels bellow the C8.
The closest thing to a C8 is a Porsche 911, and maybe a BMW M850i

You will never get anyone on here to agree to a Supra...LOL.
However, I am objective. Love the C8 but also own a 2002 Acura NSX in manual which is probably a better feeling driving car solely due to the manual transmission and being able to drive it in a different manner. The C8 is fantastic as a daily driver and track weapon...I'm definitely ordering my 23.
If you only have the ability to own one I would probably lean on the C8.

One too many “k”s- sensor bot didn’t pick it up!
But it managed to delete my Tell us how you really feel
I know I'll be in the minority here...but yes absolutely. Now I wouldn't trade my C7 M7 for it...but if I had to get another sports car in future...then yes it would be a manual something. And this is coming from a 38-year ownership of 3 Vette's so far ... C3, C5 and C7. I would be sad to switch, but I would. if you really find that a manual is an integral part of the sports car enjoyment (full disclosure...our 2 family vehicles are manuals also)...it becomes the key factor in deciding what you want to drive. I did try an auto sports car once...and it just wasn't for me...never went down that particular road again. To each their own.
First and get it straight . it’s not Toyota . It is a BMW . Toyota washed there hands of it But wanted some of the revenue from it . Toyotas are built all over the world by different plants depending on the model . And as far as standard versus auto . Yeah the thrills great in the standerd. own one myself . And that rev match makes it so easy . But given traffic in today’s environment fuel economy and my ageing 64 year old lag , along with the fact The best of the best cannot beat an automatic in a quarter mile . I have to admit it just doesn’t make sense but i will always keep a standard just to mix it up . to each their own Definitely applies here .
But when your new shoe for brakes and you pull into the Toyota dealership they’re just gonna send you to BMW they’ve already been doing it

Well then. That makes all the difference in the world... Errrr.... actually no it doesn't... lol...
Well I just took a look at the Supra: 5 boring shades of gray or Red or Yellow. The yellow looks like noname brand mustard. Interior choices are black or red. There is one accesssory: mirror caps
Makes you appreciate the options we had and the fun selecting and arguing about why.

By tradition, the Supra is made for young, brash, poor racer, and fool hardy drivers, while our glorious Corvette owners are mature, tactful gentlemen of the finest quality( at least some of us) and have the most graceful courtesy on the road.
C8 for sure, meanwhile in BC some undercover member parks next to me at Save on , waited for a bit and took some pics 
. Also saw an older retired guy today at Rona with a ZL1 camaro. Smiles all over
