Thats a hell of a deal. I would deffinitely get the supra, and then you should give me a ride, even though I dont know you. My dads Zo6 is fun, but I dont like driving anything n/a after too many f/i cars.

ZO6 will have a longer shelf life than the Supra. Its newer, and well...its a ZO6, you can save it for a midlife crisis if you need.

It'll take the ZO6 longer to go boom. Or sputter sputter, or clank clank, or squeak squeak, or...well, you get the idea. More reliable, and you've still got the power to haul ass, and the potental to haul moderatly more ass while STILL being more reliable than that Supra which has had the shit boosted into it forever now.

Your obviously not very familar with the supra.. There are plenty of 700rwhp daily drivers with AC and PS and cruise and cd and leather and little girls getting taken to school by daddy... That drive every day...
