I just realized your Z06 was in the photoshoot with MC from NAGTROC. I'm guessing that was your white BE as well?

Keep the Supra. You could always replace a ZO6 and mod it again. You cannot replace that Supra you have. It's perfect...

I'm just going to echo what everyone else is saying, because they're right.

Keep the Supra! You won't find another one like it, ever.

Wow - appreciate the input guys! The builds on the '98 Supra and TTG should be completed this week. Once I have those cars back and can drive them I'm hoping parting with the C6Z TT will become an easier decision.

No brainer, sell the Z06, keep the Supra. You can always buy and build another Z06 if you want, it will be very difficult to find another Supra like yours.

Wow you have some sick cars!!!

I think the TT gallardo will have enough power to replace your TT Z06. I would definitely sell the Z06 and keep the supra.

I just have one thing to say for all of you voting for the Supra. Why keep a car in your garage you won't/don't drive. This is what I struggle with.

If you add up the annual property tax, insurance, cost of routine maintenance to ensure proper care, etc. the Supra will never appreciate more than the cost of ownership. For me it's even tougher because I have a long history with the Supra and Supra community. I've attended the vegas and houston supra meets for years. Have a collection of every piece of literature ever produced as well as kyosho supra collection.

My point is if anyone has a sentimental reason to keep a low mileage Supra, I do, but still can't help but have doubts about whether its really justifiable to have a mere garage ornament.

On the other hand everyone says i was insane to modify a 16k mile bone stock '98 6-speed Supra to APU+++ levels, but the difference is I'll at least drive and enjoy it.

I too ask myself the very same question everyday . For some reason, I feel guilty driving it, not sure why and I know cars are meant to be driven.

Sell the z06 and buy the pcar. You can always mod that to the power level of the z06.

My Supra is BPU and I put probably about 40 miles a month on it. I still love it, would sell my CTS-V any day before selling the Supra.
