+1 for forced induction on the ZO6...see what it is capable of. You know what the Supra is capable of already, and buying a modded car is more often than not a bad idea...if it is modded, chances are the previous owner beat on it (despite the mods...they could only be asthetic and had a ricer beat on it) and you also have to question how well they put everything on the car and how much life everything else has.

Find how fun a ZO6 is with forced induction, then maybe start over in the Supra world later

I would keep the Z06. What about a nice N20 setup?

i think what annoys me most is there are about 300-400 thousand c5s, luckily most are garage queens

i think one of the main factors why im even considering the supra is well one the targa with this weather lately, but the main reason was i always wanted a single turbo 6 speed supra, the whole reason why i sold the first supra, or was selling was to buy a 6 speed hks twin supra, but then i got the z06 for that very reason of newer and lower mileage and something different. I think I probably know that this will probably be my last chance to own a mkiv, because if i keep the z, im sure something better will come along or the mkiv will probably just be too old

on performance mods, id guess it would be in the neighborhood of 15k?

my friend brought up a pretty good point, honestly if i dont like the car i could always sell it for more then i bought my vette for and pick up another z06, its not that hard to find z06s.....i dunno

maybe i am crazy for wanting a car that is 7 years older then mine, actually i know i am
