While I'm excited about my G87 order, I can't help but be a little nervous about the "fun factor" or potential lack thereof. I was originally in the order bank for a G80 but, after finally getting to drive one, I pulled my order because it just felt too big and heavy to me. I'm hoping the shorter wheelbase of the G87 will liven things up a bit and help counteract the 3800+ pound porkiness...but I'm concerned about it.
The Supra, with its 2 seats, 3400 pound curb weight, and B58 feels light on its feet and tossable in a way that I know will be unrealistic for the G87. I'm hoping the extra power and M tuning will provide the experience we're all hoping for. I guess we'll find out soon(ish)...

Have you driven an F87? I think that would be a useful gauge. If you find that to be too big and heavy, you'll probably be disappointed by the G87.
