Message exotics and high performance vehicles due to its compactness. that is, you can fit more cylinders in the same length dimension with a V-orientation. On the other hand, the inline six is probably one of the most vibration-free platforms out there (other than rotary) and hsa its own following particularly in the high-revving normally aspirated crowd 9see BMW 3-series).

I don't think it's particularly safe to make sweeping comments about what platform is 'better' particularly with only one data point (ie the JUN test). There could have been a variety of reasons that the Z had a higher top speed than the Supra. yes, it could have been an advantage dictated by the engine platform, but that's not necessarily implied, IMO.
