> you hafto realize that GM didnt directly design the Vette’s to be straight line runners…IMO, the F-bodys are better for that with the straight axle and what not. 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.
