He is dumb. He said "Any car" and we picked the Z06, then he said "Any car in the Supra price range" and we picked the Z06, and every frigging excuse he made was backed up by the Z06. Less expensive, faster, better handling, quicker, etc...Mr.Z06Man helped us a lot, too.

I emailed him. We needed someone with direct experience to finally shut them all up.
TS1 is the biggest idiot there. |

Yes, some very idiotic people, that actually think they are smart. Oh well, they can think whatever, but obviously the Z06 does pretty much everything better than the Z06 for the same price. It's as simple as that.

I'll take a C5 coupe over a SupraTT much less a Z06.

I'd take a Magnetic Red corvette with black interior and top with magnesium wheels, then I'd take a black Z06 with the red interior inserts, and finally I'd take a Magnetic Red coupe with chrome wheels. A stock hard top is my last choice...

It's a hands-down victory for the 'Vette in my ballpark. Better looking, better performing, and more widely recognized.

Oh well. One is better made with better materials. The Vette is a nice car indeed, but not compared to a Maranello.

The minority opinion
Guess I am heavily outvoted on this one, but I can't even tell you how many times over I would take an MKIV Supra TT over a Z06.
I know, the Z06 is brand spanking new, while that Supra was first released in.. I guess about the fall of 1993? The Z06 will beat it in most performance tests, but dammit, the TT can support 700 horsepower with stock internals! These things can be made into the fastest cars on the road! That's what they were made for, and they are no slouch in handling or any other aspect of sports car performance. Yes its older, yes it weighs like 300, 350 pounds more, but it would take a lot more than a Z06 for me to sell out on a Supra TT. One of the cars I have the most awe and respect for, even more than a Corvette Z06. |

Fastest car on the road? I doubt it. That car would be V8 powered.

JD...if you want to compare cars of the same time period, take a '93 or later ZR1. 405 hp and capable of reaching speeds greater than 190 mph. This for about the same price as the Supra ($55,000).
