Message Fisrt I did a search on the net for all the cars.

For the 92 to 93 Vette these is a good selection 300+ cars and the average price would be 13 to 18k

For the 93 to 94 Supra TT the is far less of a selection. 90+ cars and the average price is 15 to 25K

For the Z 93 to 95 the selection more about 300+ (3 year modles Vs 2 for the Vette and Supra) the price is 13 to 20k on average.

As for performance The Z and Supra would edge out the Vette (of the year you specified osf course NOT the C5) by a considerable margin. Between the Supra and Z the Supra will have the "low cost of upgrade" but your going to pay a premium to own the car outright. You are fimiliar with the Z and know the pros and cons. Unless you owned a Supra (assuming you never owned a late model) you can't be 100% about those "cheap mods" until you go out and buy them. It may turn out to be a wash: 17k for a Z and 8k of mods to make it stand out or 23k and 2k of mods to make the Supra stand out.

Either way your going to spend the money but the Z looks better hands down!

If I had a budget of 25K or less I would either do two things : sit on the NA and enjoy it until the new Z comes available in a year and a half or so and trade it in.

Or

Get rid of it and buy another Z. Perhaps a 94 with low miles. My reasoning behind this is simple.....when the new Z comes out a dealer would take it at a better price for trade in Vs a Vette or a Supra.

We all know that when this car comes out most of the folks here are going to want it (especially if the hp approaches 300hp or more) and if your anything of a Z fan your gonna want one so in my mind I would prepare to get it when it comes out.

Just my personal feelings on the matter.
