Joshbu,
Exactly, that is one of my main point. What makes a Supra TT worth that much?, the reality is that they aren't worth that much, only silly people that blindy support a overpriced used obsolete car makes the Supra go overprice on the market.
Have you driven a 3000 GT VR4? they are bad a s s cars, they come fully equipped and cost half of a Supra. Why would you want a used car that cost that much?
Stock Supras run high to low 14s, it takes a lot of money to make them fast. A stock Z06 run low 13's to mid 12's out from the box.

not trying to be rude at all here. Also if we're talking about a big hp car here then please take in mind that when dealing with the stock LS-1 bottom end in the C5, you'll be looking at when it's going to come apart, not if, once you hit 520hp. I'm sure you can all find examples of many C5's hitting 550hp on stock block with little more than a procharger kit but those cars won't be rolling long like that. We even had a stock '04 that we installed a procharger kit on that required two hours of detuning on the dyno just to keep it below the 520hp mark because we couldn't send a ticking bomb out to the customer.

I like both cars but I've never seen a stock supra run 14s. They run low 13s at around 109mph. BPUs on a Supra cost less than $1000 and are the ultimate in top end highway runs. Honestly, if you have a big turbo'd Supra, who cares how fast it will go in a 1/4 mile. Just check out streetfire.net for some BPU Supras wasting full bolt-on Zo6s.

I say you keep the EVO and stop waisting money. Who says you buy one of these cars and four months later don't click? Seriously what a stupid comment, oh me and the car just didn't click, maybe you should have put the time and research into something before you spent well over $20,000.

I agree with not clicking with a car. I did my research and drove many cars but I was just not ready for the characteristics of all wheel drive. Not saying the car isnt fun, I just find that RWD coupe is just a lot more fun to drive. I'm not out to be the fastest, just out to enjoy the car I drive and I think everyone should be. But im sticking with the EVO... to much invested.. I'll find a way to make her fun lol

Vette Z06. i was in the same predicament as yourself. After thinking about it-the C5z
The car is truly a beast in stock form and stock vs stock..the vette will win. Supras are nice cars and the reputation they have is what marks their price up so damn high, but i cant justify spending like 40-50k on a car thats 10yrs old and has 320bhp..and the price to mod that car is hell.
The aerodynamics of a vette is better than supra, it is more of a "mature" car. In my opinon, the C5z looks better than the c6 and supra, though the supra's *** is really nice.
And for the money, the C5z is cheaper to mod and cheaper to insure than a supra.
Besides, any "fast" supra is terrible to drive on the street. Lots of them have chattering clutches and major turbo lag. A TT C5z will be a lot more streetable than a supra with 600+whp on pump

if you want a fast car that is great on the street, cheap to mod, looks great, and has amazing potential, then you don't want a supra. Besides being 800lbs heavier, any single turbo kit is going to drastically increase turbo lag. It doesn't seem bad on an evo because the evo is 600lbs lighter and geared shorter, but you'll notice much more on a supra.
The vette is way more reliable than people on the board are giving it credit for. I have 100k on an ls1 now and it pulls every bit as hard as it did new. the ls6 will live a long time at 500rwhp if tuned properly. They've gotten absolutely bone stock 100k mile ls1's to survive with over 750rwhp (but not recommended). And if you want to make 1000-1500 hp the vette is every bit as capable as the supra (both require the $) while still having lowend torque and light weight.
