I take a little offense to the fact that you said that a BPU+ Supra is not that fast. A BPU+ Supra can put 460hp to the ground. Not only that but they are geared for the top end. It wouldn't surprise me to watch a BPU+ Supra pull on a Zo6.
Also, Your Zo6 is not stock. You've claimed to me to have as much power in your Zo6 as I do in my Supra. 631 rwhp is a lot of power to be putting through a Vette, not that it can't do it because it definatly can but it is obviously not stock. So as for you beating a BPU+++ Supra. I would hope so if you had comparable horsepower to me.
As for playing with a Supra from a stop. Of course you'll launch harder than a Supra. Supras have to contend with the dreaded lag. That's why Supras will always play on the highway and tend to avoid stoplight races.

As I get older, I like a little comfort with the spice. That's, to me, the biggest drawback to a Viper, and why I haven't bought one yet. I still may, though.
I don't really want a car I can't take on the occasional road trip with my wife. That's why I feel the Corvette is better for me than either Viper or Porsche. But remember...it only competes with the exotics on performance, not on expensive detail. If it did, it would also compete with them on price. You can't have everything.
I suppose I could buy an exotic, but mostly they are too small and too undependable. I'd hate to break down with a Ferrari in the middle of nowhere...where would you get it fixed? And they do break down frequently, and expensively. That's the quality I'm looking for...not extremely expensive leather or carbon fibre upholstery. The first scheduled maintenance on a Ferrari is about $7000.00. It's a bit ridiculous. I did look at an XKR, but in the end, didn't like it enough.
By the way, AC Cobras hardly had what you would call a nice interior.

what are you talking about??lamborghini's are extremely dependable too, dont think of porches and ferraris as the only 100k+ exotics because you named the two lacking in performance engine companies, and i love corvettes too because im a camaro owner and the corvette is a little higher level but so what.

When you buy a Ferrari and you have a lot of money, they probably kiss your ass all the time. You don't think you would spend all that money on a car and they not have some kind of road assistance for you?

S-10 Extremes are awesome as hell, their V-6's are probably close to the power of your Camaro, and I bet his Trans Am would beat your Camaro

LMFAO. I don't think I've ever seen anyone have that many posts remove in one thread. V-10Viper, the Extremes are just a body kit and lowered 2 inches. No power whatsoever just 180hp.
