Supra Turbo vs. Corvette Z06

[gang$tarr]

YES JD THANK YOU!! That's my opinion right there

I hate how all of you love the Z06 so much, I like the supra more and that makes me original

[HeavyRightFOOT]

I think a ZR1 would absolutely smoke a SupraTT.

[J.T. Marlin]

So you're saying everylone LIKING a car is bad? If everyone likes something, it usually means it is good, even meagazines say it is. I think C/D got paid off. They said the Z06 only pulled 0.93 Gs whereas the Road and Track said it pulls 1.0 Gs. I believe R/T. Who is right?

[gang$tarr]

oh theres nothin wrong with everyone likin a car, but that's one of the reasons i don't like it, it's played out

In every message board, on almost every topic (exagerating a bit) the Z06 gets brought into the conversation, i'm just getting sick of it

[HeavyRightFOOT]

Well the first time C&D tested the Z06 they got something like .98 or .99g on the skidpad. they also got much faster acceleration times too. I don't know what went wrong.

[vettemaan]

i would have to go with the Z06 just for a few reasons like


Performance,Relyability,Interior,Gasmileage,style, heritage,sound, and last but not least Its image as "Americas Sports Car"

I haven't heard to much about the Supra, and I like the Z06's styiling, that's why it would be my choice.

ok now

stock for stock of course a z06 is gonna win

but the modding potential of a supra is huge

the supra engine can handle upto 800 rwhp on the stock engine w/o changing out the internals

so a modded supra vs a modded corvette
who would win
i say the supra cause it would be way cheaper to mod the supra

i remember seeing a corvette TT a while bak in motor trend or some mag and it was fast but htey said it cost well over a 100k maybe even 200k i forgot

[VTEC V6]

oh ya i jus saw a corvette a min ago

how can u lower it 1 inch like someone said they did to theirs in this thread

the lower plastic guard was like 1 in from the ground
is it even possible to lower 1 inch

u'd be scrapin everywhere, jus forget goin through a speed bump

i think when that corvette passed through the gas station driveway the plastic guard hit the little 1 in incline from the driveway to the road!

3 points make and a question asked
point 1
"stock for stock of course a z06 is gonna win"
duh thats what we are saying!!

point 2
"but the modding potential of a supra is huge"
like modding a vette is hard 350 have been around along time people have been modding them for years and doing it cheep too.

point 3
"the supra engine can handle upto 800 rwhp on the stock engine w/o changing out the internals"
missing the point if you are doing mods do mods seen a vette in C/D with 1200HP. in mods more money means more speed mods are pointless in this comparison there was a 1980 sunbird at the track wednesday that ran 8.23 in the 1/4 faster then most modded vette or supra around.

question
"so a modded supra vs a modded corvette who would win?"
Whoever spent more money wiser would be faster. vetter with a slight edge do to it being faster to start with.

The ZO6 has much better grip and an easier to tune engine. So I take a ZO6 over the Supra Trubo. But, the Supra is still an awesome car.

[bluvyper97]

Wait one minute, I have been reading magazines for quite some time now, but I have never ever seen a zr-1 go 190mph. maybe a viper gts.

97 viper gts

I like both the ZO6 and the Supra. They are both nice sports cars and both have a lot of aftermarket mods availiable. The only reasons why I would pick the Supra over the ZO6 is that, first, where I live, there are not many Supras while it is possible to a vette everytime I drive, and second, that the ZO6 comes only in the hardtop form. The styling of the vette hardtop, as you get to the end of the car, tends to be a little weird; the butt sticks out way too much. I have to say though, if the ZO6 was offered in the coupe form, I would probably pick the ZO6 over the Supra.

Btw, anybody kno of any Chevy plans to put the ZO6 engine in the coupe and convertible? Thanx!

[HeavyRightFOOT]

Haha that what I thought until a I saw my first Z06. That car is absolutely beautiful. It looks sleeker and lower. And the back even looks better too. Oh my god and those rims, WOW! The rear tires a wide that mkaes it look a lot more proportional. the car was amazing! I don't know how they do it. They managed to make the ZR1 look a lot better than a regualr C4 coupe and now they did the same thing with the Z06. Definetely one of the best looking productions cars out today.

And yes ZR1s are capable of running past 190mph. I remember some mag tested one up to 187 mph and C&D had one up to 183mph. Of course that was when the speed limiter kicked in. If it wasn't for the speed limiter the ZR1 would most likey be a 190+++ sub 200mph machine. Also the ZR1 that set the 24 hour speed record (which was stock too, they had a modded L98 along with it) ran a little over 190 in the beggining of the run. But most of the time they were running it up to only 75% of it's potential.

the Z06 engine will NEVER be in the coupe or convertable why? beats the crap out of me
