First and Foremost: I am NOT comparing preformance!! Obviously an NA Z and a TT Supra are different. I had both my Z and supra for about 3 weeks. The first and most obvious difference among the two cars was the brakes. The Z's breaks suck ass. I drove the supra for a week and then got back in the z and almost rear ended someone. So I guess I'll have to say the supra breaks are far superior to that of the Z The ride of the two cars are very different. The Z has more of a sports car feel to it. The Z feels much more nibmle and easier to manuever. The supra has a more luxury car feel to it. It drives like my friends lexus SC400. Hitting potholes and going over speedbumps didnt go over to well in the Z. The Z sounded like it was going to fall apart...lots of rattles and creaks. The supra is solid. No rattles. I guess I will kind of miss the sports car feel of the Z but the trade off for ride quality is okay. One area I like the Z better is in the top. The targa is nice but a pain to take off. I loved the fact that the t-tops could be removed in less than a minute. I also like that the shades can be removed on the t-tops as well. I know this doesnt include all Z's but I definately wont miss the leaky t-top I had. The interior's of the cars are quite different. I really dont have a preference. they were both nice. The supra does feel like its a lot roomier but thats due to the back seat im sure. Also, the driver sits really low in the supra. Even someone that tall will still look little in the car. ONe minor thing is the carpet...the Z's carpet is pathetic. Supras is much thicker. In the end, I like both cars interiors. Looks of both cars.....well just say everyone has their own opinion :) Another thing I liked better about the Z was the tranny. Although I LOVE having a 6 speed, the Z shifted a lot smoother and was just easier to drive. Maybe I am not use to the supra yet but even my girlfriend had a hard time driving the supra. She loved how easy the Z was to drive. Overall build quality would have to go to the supra. The car just seems more solid. Not sure how to explain it but you'd probably have to spend some time with each to understand . I could go on but I am probably boring some of you. A lot of people dont like the supra but I would recommend to everyone to drive one. They are a lot of fun. I get a lot more stares in the Supra than the Z. Probably because there are a ton of Z in my area. Well, i guess thats it. I will miss my Z a little but I am VERY happy with my supra. Just My 2 cents Jeff
