Default Single turbo Supra or Heads/Cam Z06

Man, why do I get myself into these messes. But anyways there is a guy in orlando selling a really nice supra, i just joked around saying a supra that nice would make me want to sell my z06, the guy is now interested in an even trade for my z06. Both cars are awesome, my z06 has pretty much all the bolt ons, it puts down around 410rwhp, on shitty tires i managed a 12.1 at 116 missing 4th, and have trapped 120 having to let go many times to stop wheel hop, so it should trap like 121-122. This supra put down around 670rwhp, of course on race gas. Its got all the goodies, 71mm turbo, fuel, port and polished heads, cams, aem, etc etc. Not sure what to do...I thought I was done with supras for a while but this one is really nice.

Some pics of it:

I would say Supra, no questions asked. Not just because I'm a Supra nut.

If I had a C5 Corvette, even a Z06, I would honestly get a strong "second-best" sort of feeling when I saw a C6 Z06 on the road, or even in pictures. It's sort of the feeling I had when I had my MK3 Supra. There isn't a generation of Corvettes or Supras that I didn't like (C4s are da bomb!), but for me, I gotta have the best, the latest and greatest, or I feel like I only got the second best.

Hope that makes sense without sounding too emo.

i totally understand, and even though i beat a c6 z06 (i think i was just a better driver) seeing a new model of the car ur driving kinda sucks

i guess the hardest part is the fact that i would be getting a car that is 7 years older with twice the miles on it....plus ive become quite fond of torque, but i do miss the sound of a turbo spooling

Hmmmmm thats a tough decision...But I love Supra's so I would chose the Supra..Its all personal taste..Your going to have to sit down and think which car would YOU rather have..Value wise I would think the Vette is worth more..But could you build a Supra that badass with the money the Vetts worth??..Proablly not..So I dunno

Z06 all the way. Turbo it if you want to spool.
