[Joseph1082]

stock for stock, who wins...Supra TT or LS1 Camaro???
Please keep in mind I'm referring to the 98+ v8 camaro with the c5 corvette powerplant

Win in what?

a comparison couldn't get any closer, i just don't know.

i like camaros and all, but i rather have a japanese or european car. plus, i see so many camaros, they just dont turn my head like the supra does. and the performance numbers are so close, whichever is better is going to be mostly subjective. i would go with the supra.

[TatII]

handling: supra
braking: supra
looks: subjective
aceleration: too close to call
top speed: supra
price: LS1
price to mod: supra at first until you need to upgrade turbo.
interior build quality: supra
interior and misc stuff that can go bad and glitchy: LS1
engine strenght: supra.

Well in handling aspect ill favor the Supra as well in the braking category. Acceleration will be close through 60, but after that I'd bet the LS1 will start pulling. Top speed I'm going to favor the Camaro (considering it has the Z rated tires).

[Joseph1082]

How do you guys know the Supra has better handling and breaking?

[youngvr4]

i was gonna ask the same thing, i thought the camaro handled very well. i guess some people don't look at it like that since its a american muscle and known for straight line.

Ive got both cars.. a 90' supra turbo and a Camaro Z28.. Big fan of both cars, but my 90' Supra with stock suspension still handles better then any camaro (new or old) ive ever driven'..

Top speed is similar between the two cars, the only difference is the Supra will hold it a lot longer since the engines in them are built a lot stronger

[youngvr4]

so your 90 supra can out handle a 2002 camaro ss?

[89IROC&RS]

actually i would say the camaro would hit 60 faster, but from what ive seen with supras, as soon as it hits 3rd gear, its gonna take off like a rocket, especialy if its a twin turbo. and as much as i hate to say it, pass the camaro in respectable time. handling is close call to me, its all about how you drive the car. as far as sticking it and not squeeling tires, supra, but if your not afraid to drift the ass end of the camaro around turns, and make a little noise, ive kept up with quite a few cars i shouldnt have. had to buy new tires though

[ferrari_adidas5]

the performance is soo close for both cars, it would come down to which looked better, and personally i like the supra, you maybe see a couple in your life and a girl at my school has a firebird with a ls1 in it

[Joseph1082]

BTW, i'm pretty sure that supra top speed is 155, while LS1 is something like 160, 165, but idd see that its skidpad is .94 while Camaro is .89

[DC5integ]

wasnt the supra limited to 155?

[Mr Payne]

Slalom & Grip: Supra
1/4: Very close. There is great variation in the LS1 breed though, one LS1 could beat a Supra, while one could lose.
Reliability: Supra
Modding: Supra
Base price: Camaro (easily).
Space: Camaro

Two different cars with vastly different goals.
