Message Z advantages
Looks better
Drives more like a sports car
IMO handles better
Better looking interior

Supra advantages
More reliable
Better A/C
Better brakes
Better cooling system
Better modability for the money to 500 whp or so
Stronger bottom end
Less complex engine bay-Easier to work on

Z disadvantages
Reliability vs supra
Engine bay heat management sux
EFI harness sux - related to above
Cooling system sux relative to the supra
A/c is worse
F***ing rod bearings and the oiling system is not as good

Supra disadvantages
Overpriced in the used market
Interior is not as good as the Z
6 speed is a PITA - 5 sp is more usable IMO
Dual mass flywheel is annoying as hell when you want to upgrade
Inline 6 needs the harmonic dampner - minor annoyance
ECU reflashing not as developed as the Z. Standalones are fine but come with their issues.
Crankwalk on shortblocks is an issue but no one talks about it that much - Biggest thorn in my side about the Supra

thats it for now - i have more but this is about as objective as i could get. I think this is what you were looking for.
