Also, it seems like the Supra would be much easier to drive on the street b/c when driving around it's much more tame. The Viper has all the TQ in the world off idle = wheel spin

Just having some fun guys, that's all, I can't wait for the meet in March!!!!

Viper4Christ - we're talking full weight 6-speed cars, not automatic cars.

as much usable power yes...but not on the street in reality....those charts dont even show stock Viper power till 5k+...and who is going to put around town revving through the ceiling just to make power....with a TT Viper you can put around shifting at 2500RPM and you are moving...this is what im getting at....no knock on the Supra at all....but in REALITY it doesnt have as much usable power...on the track maybe...but not for every day driving...but you do have a good point about it being maybe a little more civil in the low RPMS...
