This is true of almost every RWD-based vehicle, and therefore irrelevant. My 3-series is a mid-engine, yay!

Ok so will you admit that you are wrong when you can get a 2LT Corvette with Z51 package for under $70k. LOL
Thats fully loaded car!

Also base Vette at under $60k comes standard with almost everything you need.

I have to at least partially disagree. Maybe that person has Buyers' Remorse....maybe not. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons why he or she wanted a Supra over a Corvette. For a number of reasons, I never cared for mid-engine vehicles myself.

Paying 30-40K Over MSRP for a car is idiotic, no matter how much money you have or how much you want something.

Well, yes, I agree.....IMO, 30-40K over list is probably idiotic for any vehicle. But I made my earlier reply in reference to the specific choice of a Corvette or Supra, and the question that was brought up about Buyers' Remorse on the Supra.

Yeah, it's more than just the Corvette. There are several cars you can buy that perform better than the Supra in that range but this guy must really really really want a Supra lol.

You literally said the same thing but switched the sentence

Perhaps I should not have referenced myself twice. What I meant to say was that some people may have reasons for maybe preferring the Supra. There seems to be an attitude here that those who shelled out a lot of money for a new Supra will have Buyers' Remorse now that the new 'Vette is out. While that might be true in some cases, I don't totally agree.
