Ok, I'm glad you now appear to agree that it is possible to modify an Mkiv Supra Turbo to keep up with a stock c6 z06 on a roadrace track.

Now all we're talking about is money...as you say whether or not it would be "worth it" to modify an Mkiv Supra Turbo to hang with the stock c6 z06. Since a loaded c6 z06 costs about $75K, would you agree that this would be a fair total 'budget' for the Mkiv Supra Turbo buildup (including the cost of the car)?

They are 10k less then that, $65k, but then again what happens when you get this much performance out of your supra, then you start limiting the block on that supra.

Sure, if you exclude tax, tag, title, undercoating, spit-polishing and all the other stuff dealers hit you with to be able to drive their top-of-the-line off the lot. ...but just for fun, let's say $65k is the budget. You're saying there's no way to take a decent-condition Mkiv Supra Turbo (purchased for about $20K, if you look & neogtiate with any effort), put $45,000.00 worth of upgrades into it, and not have it hang with a stock c6 z06?

No, I know you could make a mkiv to compete with the z06 and infact beat it but honestly, the supra will still be the supra, the corvette is a supercar the supra a sports car

Imho/fwiw, I'd take a fast supra over a slow supercar anyday.

No, but the designation "supercar" on it's own isn't worth a hill of beans, imo. Even you agree a "moddy Supra" could take a brand new c6 z06. As non-technical as this thread is, it seems to be about whether the Supra deserves to be 'dissd'. I'm sure that one day a brand new whatever will come out that will put even a modded Supra to shame...but until then the Cobra and the 'Vette boys need to keep the 'dissin' to themselves, imo.

Technically alot fo cars can put a modded supra to shame, you just have to compare the modded supra other modded cars.

Ok, pick one...any full production car from the early '90s that sold for under $100K.
