2020 Supra... first thoughts

I'll stick with manufacturer's HP specs. Different dyno's are notoriously bad to use for comparisons unless you have one of the very top echelon. So the HP output and power to weight between the two cars is identical.

HP doesn't get you to 60 anyway. TORQUE does. And that, as I said, is where the Supra has it all over the Z. It's my biggest disappointment with the 370Z.

Yes, I have a 2013 Z Sport 6MT. My wife drives it mostly. We had it at the track last Friday. Fun. With a better driver, it would probably get to within 3 or 4 seconds of my 4C, even though I have 93 fewer horses. Power isn't everything!

Your Camaro SS 1LE is, indeed, an amazing and under-appreciated car. I recommend it to a lot of people shopping, and they mostly forgot to look at them or don't know the car. It's definitely worth a look. But more important than "Starbucks"? Jury's out! ;-) LOL.
