The new C6 z06 is a monster. Yes its faster than any modified supra or ENZO or McLaren F1 on the Nurburgring track-STOCK.(Anything that runs the nurburgring in under 8 minutes is fast). Blitz had a fully built, 750hp supra with full suspension-the works and it ran around 7min 50 seconds or so. The base model C6 vette does it around 8 minutes. The C6 could of gone faster on the nurburgring, but jan got air twice. That car is very well built for a factory car(its as close to a race car as it gets folks). The corvettes chassis/suspension design is race car derived. The vette has balance. It is purely a race car at heart. The supra, skyline are not(They use conventional layouts like every other car). Its funny how people compare cars. The supra was originally made to compete against the 300zx, camaro, mustang, 3000gt, etc. But since the supra is very tunable, many have compared, and run against the bigger dogs like the vette or viper. We are gonna need that new supra super car now to keep up on the track. The mkiv is outdated. I own a supra so Im not taking sides. The new vette isnt anything like its predecessor. Its a killer.
