There is information in the Mitsubishi/3000GT forum on the specs of the cars. You're right that the C5 is faster then a VR4 stock to stock. But, I dont buy a car for performance only. If speed were the only issue, I'd own motorcycles.

I would have to agree there no questions asked, but I want to know what basis this poll is on. Looks, performance, price point, or overall?

This is an overall car comparison. If you had a choice of one of these, which car would you buy and why.

Supra Twin Turbo (MARK IV)/ 320hp
Corvette (C5)/ 350hp
M3 (E36) Coupe/ 240hp
3000GT VR4 Coupe/ 320hp

i would go vette. but that's just me.

i've seen so many problems with the 3000gt (the shop i go to has 3-4 that rotate in monthly) b/c they keep breaking stuff.

the m3 is ok, but too luxury for my taste... and if you've heard about the tons of blown motors they're having (maybe not tons, but enough to worry me)

the supra is nice. everyone has one on their list, but for what it is, it's kinda fat. like chunky kid needs diet fat.

i dig the vette b/c you can go zo6 parts right out the box, and tt, it would be unstoppable.

that's what i like. and i love v8 rumble.

Tough tough decision... But I'd take the TT Supra. It was either the Supra or the C5. If it were the z06, it'd be all over.. and z06 would rule, but its not.

Why I chose the Supra? I know its not as fast at the c5 in straightline or perhaps not in the twisties, but its quickness is pretty decent. Low to mid 13's for 1/4 mile right?

Theres the turbo whine.. Don't get me wrong, I love the v8 rumble too. And not to mention a motor thats very responsive to mods(2g's into the car and you're deeeep into the 12's) and pretty damn beefy.

This car is also not as common as a vette too! Well, not in my area at least.

Decent performance with good looks with the comfort and refinement and reliability of a Toyota makes the Supra my choice.

C5 all the way, I just think its a gorgeous car.

And of course the performance aspects of it as well, especially if it was a C5 Z06.

Although I think the rest of the choices aren't bad either. All are great cars.

i was under the impression this was a performance comparison . . .

well, i still dont change my decision, i love the c5 vette, and am really not one to complain about interior aesthetics, etc.

i also love the ability to perform mods, has anyone seen the 2002 hot rod cars of the year issue?

they had a 800hp vette that would cruise the highway at 200mph and get 28-32 mpg, i thought that it was pretty cool, and since then, ive not been one to doubt the c5, even if it isnt a z06

Talking C5 Forever



I have ridden in a tuned supra TT, a corvette and a VR4. I can tell you that the VR4 i got a ride in was awful the all wheel drive sucked up far too much power and all wheel drive is for guys who dont know how to launch. I rented a corvette at christmas in florida and i smoked an M3 cabriolet so bad on I75 when we got to 155 mph i quite the M3 power band is far to small to keep up with the vette. The tuned supra my friend owns is turbo which means lag. Enough said!

Supra = biggest potential.... probably biggest potential ever (lol).. I'd take supra or a corvette Z06... but when it comes to supra vs regular c5 i'd take supra... cmon , you perform a BPU modification for like 1500$ and you're pushing way over 400 hp...
