No mods for the Z06... unfortunately this economy means mods or spaghetti everyday... and I do enjoy the occasional steak, so until things pick up all my spare cash (hmmm about 32 cents Canadian, which is about a penny US) goes to the SS.

In the future though... I would like to keep it as streetable as possible since it is my daily driver, so this includes headers back exhaust, cam, intake and tune. In all honesty... it barely makes traction as it sits and since they introduced the new street racing laws in my province its an action I've been avoiding.

For those who are not aware... Sept 2007 (about 6 months after the vid was taken) they passed a law here that says (summarized)

1. If you are caught with a speed in excess of 50 kph of the limit
2. If you are caught street racing or "stunt driving" ie spinning the tires

the police officer has the authority to take your license away on the spot and impound your vehicle at your cost. Even if you fight it, the blemish is on your insurance. We keep giving more and more autonomy to the police (which is some cases can be useful) but if the cop is having a bad day and you happen to catch gravel around a corner and fish tail the slightest bit he / she now has the power to take away your license and cost you tons of money and headache.

That being said... I might as well drive a Prius or a SMART car the way laws are changing...lol nah, that'll never happen!!!!

Does anyone around the southern indiana area have a boosted LT1 or LS1? Id love to go for a ride in one. Have seen some wicked ones online.
But that car would'nt have vtec.

Again nice kill the OP. The truly funny thing is, as usual most of the people here ready to throw that supra under a bus would get absolutely owned by it.

I don't particularly care about VTEC, my car doesnt have it. Like I done said, I'll appreciate anything fast, like the OP stated. I just tend to like Supras more than Corvettes.. but I do prefer them wingless and pretty well stock looking. Ive seen them both outrun each other, this time the C6Z won.. also consider the amount of money spent on the car though .

As for that law passed in 07, that blows.

people need to learn to set up supras properly. all the tard fanboys slap on a huge turbo and go for peak hp rather than usable power. i'm surprised the supra hung as well as it did.

Looks like bad shifting and no brake boosting kept the race from at least being interesting. A license plate in front of the FMIC doesn't make sense either.

Wow... where have I been?!

Good kill to the OP, no matter what, a 550rwhp car is a 550rwhp... if he cannot drive it properly then that is another story not an excuse as he DID race.

Power to weight is a huge factor here and it shows. Even with flawless driving, the supra would of still fallen back when the Z06 hit's 4th gear. I love 4th in these cars... its just insane how much MPH you are gaining until redline.

.... I love all types of cars and a supra is a fantastic car. Motor is not perfect guys, it has it's flaws as well. However, neither is the LS7. However, those that said they would rather get a GTR or a supra I would recommend you take a ride in a C6 Z06 and with someone that knows how to drive it, see how you like it.

The R35 is JUNK!, A supra would be in my garage over that **** box! My opinion by the way! But honestly, don't hate on the Z06 because its an american car and you want to play that import, under dog card. Take a ride in one and really think about it.

There are alot of us that do. I know several midsized single turbo supras that are more concerned with streetable power than dyno numbers.

Just a funny spoof, make sure you watch My New Haircut too if you haven't already.

I thoroughly enjoy seeing Supras and C6 Z06's, no matter what, bashing will always occur, excuses be made, non intellectual posts made, and fanboys that only know what they know by word of mouth and a friend this friend that...

All in all, both cars were awesome. Good video!

I love that ******* video. Especially the part against the vette. "WHERE THE **** IS MY NOS!!!!". In all seriousness....I like ITRs, although phoenix yellow isn't my choice of colors.
