The vettes were designed to perform great at any task they were given. Not just haul ass in a straight line but to haul ass around a track and great handling and a smooth ride that wont break your wallet. ---

I can agree with that, the Supra handles well but the ZO6 is better for sure. The Supra just simply has the better drivetrain (esp in 6 speed format) for drag racing. The Supra’s 6 speed tranny is the best 6 speed, non-dogbox tranny ever produced, IMO. ---

The Supra’s 6 speed tranny is the best 6 speed, non-dogbox tranny ever produced, IMO. thats just because the vette has how many years on the Supra? Im sure if the supra was never discontinued, it would be a top runner (like it still is) but I mean up to par with all the new technology. ---

But if you are dead set on the headers, might as well do them at the same time. And up the boost. And meth. ETC. ---
