No man, the Supra would be like 15 flat. The chevy would be probably like high 4’s, maybe low 5’s. :rolljerk: . Hump it some more.

Violater has had the most worthwhile comments in this whole thread :tup: .

The car alone is selling for 86.5k. I went to the dealership last night and they put a “market adjustment” of 15k onto the 71.5k sticker price.

86.5k + 45k = 131.5k

Right. Its a $100,000 car. Like I said. I didn’t say it was exactly $100,000.

Its faster than the Enzo after LPE gets it. that means a $131.5k car is greater than a $643,330 car + “market adjustment” of $1.5m (I think they were marked up that much) + taxes + Title + registration + gas guzzler tax = fucking ponderous.

A few other things I noticed

The z06 does 800rwhp on **PUMP GAS**

It has a **warranty**

The previous TT vettes from them have all been running in the 9s with high traps.

But blah blah blah Supras are sweet…WIth the exception of a slim few all the fast ones are running GM autotranny :lol:

I believe they are $75k w/ everything. You don’t need navigation. Someone like myself can easily pick one up for $69,050. But then you need to figure in shipping and all that other stuff. Thank god the gas guzzler tax doesn’t apply.

ok so, doing headers and a cam in the new z06 that’ll probably add atleast 100 hp, so thats 600, the ls7 can probably handle a 200 shot EASY. So that’s gotta be 750-800hp. That is sooo not modable at all…

sooo a road race setup car that runs lo 11s STOCK, Cam & Headers will get you lo 10s I am sure. Nitrous is 9s I am sure. Of course adding some sort of good tire.

I don’t understand how a Z06 isn’t modable? If you ask me that is just fucking sick. I’m saving up for mine already. I gota enough for the first tank of gas :lol:

Yeah doesn’t sound like you can walk into a dealership and custom order them. 5000 being made, 3000 being distributed to over 5000 dealerships with 2000 being sent overseas.

As far as numbers go I know this car is a sick deal for the price. I wasn’t comparing it to any other car.
