The C8 may be the crown jewel right now, but all modern Corvettes( 1997-2019) are a blast to drive. I used to daily a C5 and I LOVED that car! You can't go wrong with a Corvette, especially if it has a manual transmission. There's a reason so many enthusiasts flock to them now. Supermarket performance for regular car pricing.

Remember when everyone was like “wHy bUy sUpRa wEn I cAn bUy C8 4 sAmE pRiCe?” Yeah, good luck with that. It would be hard to find one on a lot that isn’t double the price of the Supra, new vs new.
GM is cracking down on dealers with 2021/22 allocations if they are caught selling the C8s much over sticker. My buddy just bought a new C8 Z51 for $70k with a ton of options. Supras are around $55k but the two cars aren’t really comparable, Corvette outperforms it in every aspect. Toyota is now offering 0% financing on new Supras because they just can’t sell them.
@@cptchalk No they are not.. Chevy stated they will let dealers decide their own prices...it's Supply and demand they said. I'm 120K into mine and it's worth every penny to me.

My C8 convertible is a fantastic daily driver!!! Tour mode drives so smooth, and it feels really, really solid. I hit the Z mode button or stick in sport mode when I want to stiffen up the suspension and increase the exhaust note.
congrats on your C8!=altho im stunned frankly you use it as a 'daily' why not get something else to use at the store etc not technically a 'beater' but something much more avrg? just a thought,YOU are braver than ME =)
@@robl9567 clearly you don’t have experience with late model corvettes. I had a modded c4 and a modded c6 and they were the two moist reliable cars I’ve ever owned in 39 yrs of car ownership( US, Japanese and euro imports). I go to a local drag strip to race the past 26 yrs and two new Supra’s had to be flatbedded home from the track on my most recent visit. They were barely modded based on their slow high 11 second times so it’s not like they were heavily modded or something.
I just pick my 2022 supra for 56k,try finding a c8 for less than 80k. Supra or BMW for the haters is a lot easier to make great power with just a dp,tune and couple gallons of e85,watch the video and u can see that supra was catching up quick and the power on the b58 is well underrated. So I went with the supra and save me some 25k for some serious mods🙂
I just placed the order total 57k and I agree it's a lot better value than the corvette. Besides the superior launch on the C8 the Supra was keeping up easy. Can't wait to get mine
Both these cars are fast enough to give some folks a bloody nose they both pull so hard. Never in my life did I ever think a Corvette or anything else would do 0-60 in LESS than 3 SECONDS.
But it's not an MK5, it's a Z5 with a bodykit and toyota badging. Call it accordingly. That's like putting a camaro bodykit on a ford fusion and calling it a camaro.
@@KevinKJohn exactly. People always try to not accept their wrong judgment to the MK5 being inferior to the MK4. And if ever they accept it being as good or better than the MK4, the will just say cuz it’s a BMW. 😂
Gazoo Racing Supra is underrated on power, but I find it hard to believe it is so dialed in that it can overcome a 100hp+ deficit in power to an excellent launching C8 Corvette
That's because it has about 440 bhp, like the M340i. But its real disadvantage is the auto compared to the DCT in the Vette. The DCT shifts much quicker.
I'm a Corvette guy, but the dealer mark up is incredibly stupid. Also, if you like to modify and tune your car, the Supra is much more tuner friendly. Chevy had been a real dink with their locked hardware. Hopefully it gets cracked soon.
i couldnt agree more with you,if you want a daily-laugh well call a dealer and ask the markup amt i was quoted $20,000 true-story,i thanked them for making me really laugh outloud and respectfully hung up;one can buy an avrg daily driver for the amt of the markup cost(give or take a grand or 2 maybe)but my point u can buy a new-daily for the markup,and purchase another sports car like the supra.mx-5,and so on and have a new daily as well by comparrison.Nissan has a car/model in that range(brand new mind you) i cant recall the model,and im glad because i dont like to pick on a certain car/make/model when comparing to ANY sports car.
What makes you say its reliable? it’s only been out for couple of years now. Just because something has a Toyota badge doesn’t automatically make it reliable. The Supra is way more BMW than it is Toyota.
@@nf1369 Based on what? The car is barely few years old. Time will tell. Slapping a Toyota badge on a BMW doesn’t make a BMW reliable unless majority of the parts are from Toyota.
@@RizwanJaved26 You do realize BMW is up there in reliability list right? You're stuck on the past bro lmao. Learn about some cars before you put your opinion. Fake car enthusiast.
@@GokuTheHusky Lmfao I own the latest generation 7 Series with every single option (besides V12). You think you’re an expert on cars because you read comments on TH-cam. Go buy the car then tell me how reliable it is. And despite the reliability, I would still buy this car again because of how amazing it is. So I am by no means a BMW hater.
Corvettes performance is outrageous but the so is the Supra’s. Vette is faster but the sound doesn’t match the visual IMO. Subjective I know. Also subjectively, the Supra looks better. I would still buy the corvette c8 between these two though. I would go 2022 M3 before either personally.
Ive seen it in a few comments thus far but I wanted to reiterate that the Supra b58 with 300 dollar downpipe, 500 dollar tune on e30-e40 will be making 480-500 whp. Add in a 3K upgraded turbo and now we are at the 600-700ish whp. You can find many videos showing similar supra setups demolishing some very fast competition including super cars.
Only 1 run? 😢 Well, thank you for at least doing that one. I have been very impressed ever since the C8 was unveiled. It is definitely my favorite out of these 2. That said though, the Supra also impressed me during this race, (at a certain point, the C8 was no longer pulling) and always turns my head when I see one parked or on the street. Great video Sam, thank you.
Since you are a great viewer and I notice your comments a lot. Here’s what happened, I had this car for 3 days from Chevy Canada. All 3 damn days it was raining heavily, we managed to get one day, that Tuesday, rain stopped day time, we got the track, we did 3 test runs like I usually do, then as we started recording the first full run we noticed small rain drops, you can actually see the path. Then we did the first run with cameras, we decided to do this full run, the one u see. Then we wanted to do a roll. Rain started pretty bad, as we were packing up, it stopped but it was too dark. Weather in Ontario this summer has been very unpredictable. Thankfully during the 4th run it was nice and dry. Next day I had to drop off the car :(

I was split between these two cars and ultimately went with the Supra. The main reason was the price - I was actually able to find a new 3.0L Premium Supra for MSRP whereas literally every Chevy dealer has at least a 15k markup on every single C8 configuration available, and even ordering one was still marked up, or a 2+ year wait. My thought is maybe years from now when the C8 comes back down to earth pricing wise I'll revisit the idea of getting one, but with the ridiculous pricing on it currently (85k or more for a base model) it's just crazy. Additionally, while not a huge deal, the fuel economy on the Supra is actually pretty good with the inline 6 vs the massive V8 in the vette.
Sam, as the old adage goes “The Vette gets them wet!” and after driving the C8 I can fully agree. Each will have their own fan base and reasons why to purchase, but that Vette packs a punch for the money that nothing else quite measures up. Great video as always.
@@cdrkimball that's what every fan boy says, until you look st the facts and realize that, you're spending way more money just to get it to GO AS FAST as the corvette, but it doesn't have the same status, it's not as sexy, and you're literally wasting money just to catch up to a better car, you could buy the corvette c8 cheaper than you could buy and upgrade the GTR, the ONLY reason people get the GTR, is to be the typical fuck-boi who thinks he's cool and fast until he's smashed by an actual MAN who understands cars and hoe to drive, sit down and hush yourself bucko
Corvette is so much more car for the money. Also reliability will be an issue with the Toyota. Not a toyota fan at all (got a 97 trans am in my garage for 15 years now) but as a car enthusiast , I think toyota made a mistake by joining forces with bmw. Their lack of reliability is known world wide. Pushrod engines on the other hand are extremely reliable
@@layne4376 well I didn't mean to offend any fan boys. Have owned well over 30 cars , and I can honestly say that my bmw , and my jetta were the worst cars to own , right behind my Toyota Corolla 2007. Currently I own a 2003 gmc envoy 287k. My 97 trans am 107k. My Corolla at 36k. 2017 chevy malibu 1.5t 39k. I'm not sure where did you read about reliability issues on corvettes, but I do believe it. Modern , cars come with modern problems.
lol what? is this a troll? The B58 has been one of BMW's best engines and, spoiler alert, it was co-developed with Toyota in 2014. C8 is the better stock car hands down, but also a $20k surplus on cost. the Supra with a downpipe and tune for ~2-3k will stay with a C8 easily.
@@notsoanonymous2458 my guess is C8 owner didn't want to, or maybe they ran out of time considering how many videos he's been pumping out at this track.
@@samuelgonzalez1891 it's pretty easy to hear the C8 under full throttle and when he let's off. Highly modified cutlass maybe yah. They also make these supra with a 4cyl.
@@fanman71 That's actually more true for the Corvette. There aren't very many options on the Supra so it's pretty well equipped at it's base price. The Premium is only $3k more. The only other option is the driver assist package for $1195. I guarantee you won't ever find a Corvette at base MSRP.
I would love to see a supra with the basic mods package that many say is only $3000 (intake, exhaust and tune), which will get you up to around 480 hp vs the corvette. The supra is ready for so much more power with very little money.
No need for intake or exhaust but not bad to have. Generally the go-to setup for the Supra would be Downpipe+Tune for 80-100 HP bump from stock. Which is around $2000. That gets you to about 440 WHP and SERIOUSLY wakes up the car. Night and day difference. However you almost certainly need wider tires in the rear to make use of all that torque on such a light platform.
Great video! Traction off, linear NA regardless of its MR is harder to hook and easier to cook. The lag helped as much as boost so its non assisted launch was expected. Keep it coming!!
Man the music makes you feel like you’re watching the cars battle for their souls kinda gives me goosebumps 😄 man i love this drag races keep it up man
been following the channel since you had like 20 or so thousand subs, you've come a long way. Quality content is always rewarded, keep up the work and the treasure will come to you.
@@coalovd7761 imagine the race in 20 years with 250,000 miles on both cars. The Supra is still going strong! But the Corvette has not started for 3 years due to electrical problems, sensor issues, steering wheel lock, transmission not hitting 2nd gear, but no rust! 🙊
Problem is that the c8 is electrically locked from any further mods... The supra on the other hand can be turned up quite easily already and being turbo, can be turned up quite a bit.
That Tremec 8sp on the Vette is next level good. Good on GM for doing what they're doing. I'm not completely warmed on the styling (mid engine styling) but that SupBMraW is pretty cool.
Honestly surprised how well the Supra kept up. The Vette only best it by a car or so. Yeah he Supra is like 300 pounds lighter, however the Vette has way more HP and torque. I personally love the look of the new Supra, just wish it was stick and I'd try to grab one up. Never been a Chevy guy either, however this is one of their nicer trims, granted it looks more Ferrari than Corvette. Maybe that's why I like it.
Do you actually believe the hp/tq rating Toyota/Bmw gives? That power is accurate if you read it as wheel tq and wheel hp. The corvette rating is at the crank, the Supra is also said it be at the crank, but dyno tests have shown that that power is actually at the wheels, so no surprise there. And the Vette will walk it at any speed, it just looked like it was keeping up for a second or two because that is the nature of the powerband and the camera angle. That said, the Supra is definitely quite a quick car.
@@PapiAndrey , said all that for nothing. It's obviously a faster car....just surprised me was all. I watch these videos all the time and a lot of similar hp vehicles lose the car in the one camera angle and the Supra actually you could see. So you are saying the Toyota does more HP than what you are saying? I've heard nothing but opposite.
@@jesseyanvari8873 the power is typically underrated by BMW. The HP/TQ figures provided are basically the wheel horsepower number, not crank horsepower.
@@jesseyanvari8873 basically what Dustin said. Bmw rates the motor and the rating isn’t exactly accurate if you look at it as crank hp, which is the standard for manufactures.
I heard from a lot testers that it's faster not using the paddle shifters. The automatic transmissions are way faster than the human hand. Paddle shifters are fun, but if you want to win, let the transmission do the work...
ah yes…. comparing a $60k vs $110k car. Ik the c8 is priced at 60-70 but with dealer markup good luck finding one with that price. One of my track buddies bought his base model with nothing added for $115k 🙃😩
Would love a c8 but Supra it is cause no mark up are very little 53k or 100 plus and I don’t see c8 prices going down for a few years and still be over msrp
Why is it everytime you Supra boys lose to a Corvette you have to say something stupid like "if I had a bigger turbo and a downpipe then I'd beat you". If I put a big turbo and a downpipe on a Corvette you would never catch it.
@@nighthawk0077 yes clearly. And you can easily get it for $10,000 more than the Supra. It's just most people are too impatient to search around to a car dealer that charges MSRP
Thank you for doing the comparison .Alot closer than I thought it would be. It does appears the supra has at least a catback exhaust? What other mods does it have?
We have the Supra and the C8 in our exotic car fleet. I must say for me, the Supra is a more fun car to drive. Ppl say that sounds crazy but with the Supra, you get instant torque and pulls away immediately and handles likes a dream. The C8 once after taking off, felt slow and didn’t pull away aggressively anymore even with the pedal to the metal. For me, I would pick the Supra for a daily car. The C8 draws a lot of attention and looks sexy as hell.
Supra should have atleas 450 horses in order to compete against the corvette. Im surprised how supra was keeping up with the c8. I mean the distance between them was very less. Nice job, great video 👍
Tit for tat. C8 is the better car stock for stock but if the debate is this for that, add a FuelTech ECU and an ETS Twins Kit and that BMW Zupra would be a non factor. MK4s are the REAL Supras and the 2JZ is legendary. Those duck snort farts the bmw engine makes on shift sounds horrible. Lol.
@@refillz5281 Sure kid. "Dog walk" is a teenager term. You put an equal amount of cash in either one, and the Vette will win every single time. There is something called balance, and although you are young your feeble mind may not grasp that concept. Your bmw my fangirl friend is a Front engine Rear wheel drive car with a small inline 6 cylinder engine. Its good to a limit. However that limit will always be exceeded by the C8 with its incredible Mid engine and Rear wheel drive design with a big V8 all still in a very lightweight package. You can root as hard as you want and think in your mind what you want to believe, but the fact of the matter is the new Zupra cant touch a properly built Vette on any surface, and most importantly falls short of its predecessor the MK4 and its amazingly slick 2JZ-GTE engine. Im not a biased fangirl, im a Datsun guy and a Honda purist at heart. So I have no attachment to either. I just know from years of real world experience, on paper alone the C8 is light years ahead of an ugly fat backed coupe with a bastardized BMW engine that duck snort farts on every shift lol. FYI Just messin with ya man. But fr fr the C8 Z06 is going to be the ultimate street car when released.
There’s already a video of them racing on the 8th of a mile, Supra won by half a car. The corvette has to be perfect at the launch to beat the Supra, if it sleep for just a half second the Supra wins. Supra claims 382hp but the Dyno showed 450 to the crank, 388whp. This will be a closer race than most think. I say Vette wins by one car if it launches perfect. Stock C8 quarter mile time 11.4 seconds, stock 21 Supra 12.1 seconds.
@Catholic Firefighter My point is that The Supra is much more competitive than people think mainly because Supra underrated it’s power. The car pushes 388whp 450 crank, not 382 base as advertised. I own a 21 Supra and have raced C8 from a rolling start and hang hang right next to them the whole way never loosing power. A90 Supras are much faster than what people think.
You know your stuff, brother! As impressed as I am with the Supra, the Chevy C7 and especially the C8 and C8 Z06 are going to dominate as Weekend Warriors that they are
Love your content... Have you ever driven the LS7 Z06 corvette? 505 HP @ 3100 lbs? Would love to see it against some of the other RWD platforms you've tested/raced.
In the words of my Boy Paul Walker (may he rest in peace) a.k.a. Brian O'Conner; "I almost had you Bro!". Much respect to the new Vette, but I'm a JDM guy and was pulling for the MK5!!!! Thanks for the AWESOME vid!!!! ✌🏾🖤✊🏾
Was going to get a corvette, msrp of one I was looking at was 57,000. This dealer was selling a used one for 120k. These people are out of their minds. Even more so, the tools who buy them at that insane markup.
Couldn't agree more with you Sam.The C8 Corvette is nice and all and looks good especially has a nice interior and the front of the car looks good and yes it does launch very good like a awd but the Supra for me over the Vette any day of the week coz it's a more practical vehicle then the Vette it has Bmw enginered straight six turbo engine and it also has tons of aftermarket support to make it go even faster it's nice and comfortable to drive on a daily basis.the Vette will be good for a weekend car just like how Sam said.
I've been waiting for this! Personally, I really like the C8 and I'm not a Vette fan at all.. That being said, I would never pay the markup that they are selling for currently. They average about $120k new here and although it's 500hp and mid engine, it just isn't worth that much. At the end of the day, the build quality and materials is still a Chevy.. and Chevy priced it what it's at for a reason. Still an awesome sports car tho. Best Vette yet imo although you can build some massive power out of the C6 & C7. This is just a better overall package than those.
Its totally worth what dealers ask for or they wouldnt sell them. In my area, they sell them at 140k and they cant keep up for the demand. Many people say they are just as good as a McLaren and the same quality level too. Just more reliable than a McLaren. Also, Chevy priced it at 70k because they have a big leverage in the industry. Ford would sell it almost 150k if they made that same exact car because theyre not worth 1/2 of what GM is for example. Tadge Juechter himself answered that question pretty well(he’s the chief engineer of the last 3 vettes). Very smart guy.
@@RBZ06LT6 man, they're nice but they're only selling for $140k bc people are hyped for them, not bc they're worth that. Chevy priced them at $60k bc that's exactly what the amount of materials with added profit cost for them. The materials, engineering, and performance that went into these is not McLaren level man come on now... just bc it has a super car design doesn't make it a super car. It's still only 500hp ( ik that sounds ridiculous haha ) but that's the truth. I mean, something is worth what people will pay for them but the only reason these are breaking over $100k is bc of the dealer markup, and that's fully at the dealers discretion and the reason why these are trading hands at what they're costing. The ZR1 model? I'd pay $100k for that, it'll have 800hp and I'm not disagreeing that these aren't nice! 800hp with this design yes I'd pay that for it. But not a base for $120k no way man it's just not worth it. Same things happened with the Type R and Focus RS, dealers marked them up $15k-20k and bam people were paying $50k for a Focus or Civic, when the manufacturers priced them at $35k bc that's what they're worth. I love these C8s but as Bob Barker would say the price ain't right haha
The vette is faster stock but with a few mods the supra can be a beast.. theirs not much you can do really to make the Vette faster. Even heads and exhaust don’t make much of a difference, there a place that has unlocked the ECU on the vette and they say it pretty much tapped out. The supra downpipe, e50/e85, exhaust you can make tons of power
I’m a Supra guy & I’m so disappointed in the new gen Supra. Not only is it just a re-badged BMW but stylistically it does the beloved MK4 no justice smh 🤦🏽♂️
All they did was recycle old Technologies and put it together and make it look new. GM completely redesigned everything from scratch with help from nobody. Other than Tremec and Pratt & Whitney. And the new c8r regularly wipes the floor with BMW for the past two years in real life racing called IMSA. That's where you see the true potential of its platform not some roll race
What do you prefer a C8 or a CT5 Blackwing. Yes that are different styles however what do you prefer to drive? I am C8 owner considering a Blackwing 6 sp
I'd say the corvette is better bang for buck, faster, sexier, more luxurious. The GTR needs to be extra tuned just to be able to truly keep up with the corvette, which would be spending alot more money, so it'd cost more just to make the GTR as fast as the corvette when you could JUST BUY THE FASTER CORVETTE CHEAPER lmao, and base prices compared it's only a few thousand more, when you're talking 50k+ a few thousand is nothing
Corvette all the way. It's easy to egress by rotating & putting both feet on ground. I do It all time in my Caddy ATSV. I've tracked the C8 at NCM in KY and was amazing. I'm 5'10 240 bad back & neck had ZERO issues getting in or out with helmet on.

Both these cars are fast enough to give some folks a bloody nose they both pull so hard. Never in my life did I ever think a Corvette or anything else would do 0-60 in LESS than 3 SECONDS.
It’s funny how people still talk down on this MK5 Supra when there’s so many MK5 that destroys super cars once it’s modded for less than $5k.
Facts. The B58 is highly capable, a tune and some downpipes and you're pushing 450hp to the wheels easily.
Downpipes, fuel injectors, E85 and tune make these Supras eat almost anything on the road
But it's not an MK5, it's a Z5 with a bodykit and toyota badging. Call it accordingly. That's like putting a camaro bodykit on a ford fusion and calling it a camaro.
@@Zakatak360 You have spent very little time with either platform, and it shows. Driving the Supra and Z4 back to back is like night and day.
@@KevinKJohn exactly. People always try to not accept their wrong judgment to the MK5 being inferior to the MK4. And if ever they accept it being as good or better than the MK4, the will just say cuz it’s a BMW. 😂
Gazoo Racing Supra is underrated on power, but I find it hard to believe it is so dialed in that it can overcome a 100hp+ deficit in power to an excellent launching C8 Corvette
That's because it has about 440 bhp, like the M340i. But its real disadvantage is the auto compared to the DCT in the Vette. The DCT shifts much quicker.
You can get a Supra to 800hp with minor mods. The car was designed a lot weaker our the factory
".....BMW Supra" "What did I say? Ok lets do it again...." 😂
Getting so old saying that 😒
I'm a Corvette guy, but the dealer mark up is incredibly stupid.
Also, if you like to modify and tune your car, the Supra is much more tuner friendly. Chevy had been a real dink with their locked hardware. Hopefully it gets cracked soon.
I agree
Nothing like deanships.
i couldnt agree more with you,if you want a daily-laugh well call a dealer and ask the markup amt i was quoted $20,000 true-story,i thanked them for making me really laugh outloud and respectfully hung up;one can buy an avrg daily driver for the amt of the markup cost(give or take a grand or 2 maybe)but my point u can buy a new-daily for the markup,and purchase another sports car like the supra.mx-5,and so on and have a new daily as well by comparrison.Nissan has a car/model in that range(brand new mind you) i cant recall the model,and im glad because i dont like to pick on a certain car/make/model when comparing to ANY sports car.
One of fav parts for upgrading C8 is Victor racing wing.
The BMW jokes aren’t even funny at this point.
Corvettes are my dream car and ain’t changing at all!!!! I love them!!!
That Bmw Z4 is quicker than I expected. And it’s finally reliable thanks to Toyota!
What makes you say its reliable? it’s only been out for couple of years now. Just because something has a Toyota badge doesn’t automatically make it reliable. The Supra is way more BMW than it is Toyota.
@@RizwanJaved26 But the thing is it's actually reliable.
@@nf1369 Based on what? The car is barely few years old. Time will tell. Slapping a Toyota badge on a BMW doesn’t make a BMW reliable unless majority of the parts are from Toyota.
@@RizwanJaved26 You do realize BMW is up there in reliability list right? You're stuck on the past bro lmao. Learn about some cars before you put your opinion. Fake car enthusiast.
@@GokuTheHusky Lmfao I own the latest generation 7 Series with every single option (besides V12). You think you’re an expert on cars because you read comments on TH-cam. Go buy the car then tell me how reliable it is. And despite the reliability, I would still buy this car again because of how amazing it is. So I am by no means a BMW hater.
Corvettes performance is outrageous but the so is the Supra’s. Vette is faster but the sound doesn’t match the visual IMO. Subjective I know. Also subjectively, the Supra looks better. I would still buy the corvette c8 between these two though. I would go 2022 M3 before either personally.
The ride is too stiff in a m3’s. My 360 spider was way more comfortable than my f80. I work at Bmw and own a c8
Ive seen it in a few comments thus far but I wanted to reiterate that the Supra b58 with 300 dollar downpipe, 500 dollar tune on e30-e40 will be making 480-500 whp. Add in a 3K upgraded turbo and now we are at the 600-700ish whp. You can find many videos showing similar supra setups demolishing some very fast competition including super cars.
Only 1 run? 😢
Well, thank you for at least doing that one. I have been very impressed ever since the C8 was unveiled. It is definitely my favorite out of these 2.
That said though, the Supra also impressed me during this race, (at a certain point, the C8 was no longer pulling) and always turns my head when I see one parked or on the street.
Great video Sam, thank you.
Since you are a great viewer and I notice your comments a lot. Here’s what happened, I had this car for 3 days from Chevy Canada. All 3 damn days it was raining heavily, we managed to get one day, that Tuesday, rain stopped day time, we got the track, we did 3 test runs like I usually do, then as we started recording the first full run we noticed small rain drops, you can actually see the path. Then we did the first run with cameras, we decided to do this full run, the one u see. Then we wanted to do a roll. Rain started pretty bad, as we were packing up, it stopped but it was too dark. Weather in Ontario this summer has been very unpredictable. Thankfully during the 4th run it was nice and dry. Next day I had to drop off the car :(

I was split between these two cars and ultimately went with the Supra. The main reason was the price - I was actually able to find a new 3.0L Premium Supra for MSRP whereas literally every Chevy dealer has at least a 15k markup on every single C8 configuration available, and even ordering one was still marked up, or a 2+ year wait. My thought is maybe years from now when the C8 comes back down to earth pricing wise I'll revisit the idea of getting one, but with the ridiculous pricing on it currently (85k or more for a base model) it's just crazy. Additionally, while not a huge deal, the fuel economy on the Supra is actually pretty good with the inline 6 vs the massive V8 in the vette.
Literally just did the exact same thing with the exact same plan
Both great cars, i personally just got on a waiting list for the c8 at msrp. Cant wait to drive it!!

Sam, as the old adage goes “The Vette gets them wet!” and after driving the C8 I can fully agree. Each will have their own fan base and reasons why to purchase, but that Vette packs a punch for the money that nothing else quite measures up. Great video as always.
Simple tune on the Supra things would be the other way around. Can't really tune an NA car.

C8 is the better stock car hands down, but also a $20k surplus on cost. the Supra with a downpipe and tune for ~2-3k will stay with a C8 easily.
Garbage BMW engine in that Supra they should have just use the 3.5 L that is in the Lexus LS 500

Shocking the small difference in price. In the US, the base MSRP of the Corvette starts at $60K, while the Supra starts at $52K for the 3.0.
You can’t get a new C8 for under 100 grand anywhere.
@@jpSD297 Those are just the base prices. The Supra, once you add some common options will be well over $60K as well.
@@fanman71 That's actually more true for the Corvette. There aren't very many options on the Supra so it's pretty well equipped at it's base price. The Premium is only $3k more. The only other option is the driver assist package for $1195. I guarantee you won't ever find a Corvette at base MSRP.
That was closer than expected for the selling price difference and power difference that Supra did really well. Great sports car
Yes. I agree. It was a lot closer than I thought it was going to be for sure…props to Toyota!
And the supra only requires an exhaust, an intake, and a tune to make 480+ HP..
@@heyaisdabombdownpipe not exhaust
I just found you Channel and its Awesome!! Do you ever post the 0-60 and 1/4 times on each car?
Not yet but maybe soon
I would love to see a supra with the basic mods package that many say is only $3000 (intake, exhaust and tune), which will get you up to around 480 hp vs the corvette. The supra is ready for so much more power with very little money.
No need for intake or exhaust but not bad to have. Generally the go-to setup for the Supra would be Downpipe+Tune for 80-100 HP bump from stock. Which is around $2000. That gets you to about 440 WHP and SERIOUSLY wakes up the car. Night and day difference. However you almost certainly need wider tires in the rear to make use of all that torque on such a light platform.
The problem is here in the NE USA the c8 is selling for 113k and the supra is between 45-60k.
Great video! Traction off, linear NA regardless of its MR is harder to hook and easier to cook. The lag helped as much as boost so its non assisted launch was expected. Keep it coming!!

Wait until Sam race a Kia stinger against the vette & claim it as a Kia victory.
From a real life perspective, negative on the Stinger from a L77 tuned PPV not all the hype.
Can't find a c8 for less than 95k in 2024...I'll definitely take 3.0 supra
Will be nice to see the difference between the 2 cars!
Problem is that the c8 is electrically locked from any further mods... The supra on the other hand can be turned up quite easily already and being turbo, can be turned up quite a bit.
The Supra has had a locked ECU since 2021.
That Tremec 8sp on the Vette is next level good. Good on GM for doing what they're doing. I'm not completely warmed on the styling (mid engine styling) but that SupBMraW is pretty cool.
You mean the tremec tranny that is failing left and right on new c8s?
@@alexdubois8525 right ok so we preface with "when it's working" the Tremec 8sp is good.
I enjoy the way the Supra is tuned from the factory. Mega torque hit from a 20 or 30 mph roll.
Honestly surprised how well the Supra kept up. The Vette only best it by a car or so. Yeah he Supra is like 300 pounds lighter, however the Vette has way more HP and torque. I personally love the look of the new Supra, just wish it was stick and I'd try to grab one up. Never been a Chevy guy either, however this is one of their nicer trims, granted it looks more Ferrari than Corvette. Maybe that's why I like it.
Do you actually believe the hp/tq rating Toyota/Bmw gives? That power is accurate if you read it as wheel tq and wheel hp. The corvette rating is at the crank, the Supra is also said it be at the crank, but dyno tests have shown that that power is actually at the wheels, so no surprise there.
And the Vette will walk it at any speed, it just looked like it was keeping up for a second or two because that is the nature of the powerband and the camera angle. That said, the Supra is definitely quite a quick car.
@@PapiAndrey , said all that for nothing. It's obviously a faster car....just surprised me was all. I watch these videos all the time and a lot of similar hp vehicles lose the car in the one camera angle and the Supra actually you could see. So you are saying the Toyota does more HP than what you are saying? I've heard nothing but opposite.
@@jesseyanvari8873 the power is typically underrated by BMW. The HP/TQ figures provided are basically the wheel horsepower number, not crank horsepower.
@@jesseyanvari8873 basically what Dustin said. Bmw rates the motor and the rating isn’t exactly accurate if you look at it as crank hp, which is the standard for manufactures.
@@PapiAndrey , Gotcha so it's basically 100 more HP, so right there with the Corvette.....
I heard from a lot testers that it's faster not using the paddle shifters. The automatic transmissions are way faster than the human hand. Paddle shifters are fun, but if you want to win, let the transmission do the work...

With a downpipe in a tune That supra would eat the Corvettes lunch. And you would still have Thousands in your pocket.

ah yes…. comparing a $60k vs $110k car. Ik the c8 is priced at 60-70 but with dealer markup good luck finding one with that price. One of my track buddies bought his base model with nothing added for $115k 🙃😩
Would love a c8 but Supra it is cause no mark up are very little 53k or 100 plus and I don’t see c8 prices going down for a few years and still be over msrp
Interesting video. Would have been cool and a much closer race if the Supra had downpipes and tune with 480+hp.
Why is it everytime you Supra boys lose to a Corvette you have to say something stupid like "if I had a bigger turbo and a downpipe then I'd beat you". If I put a big turbo and a downpipe on a Corvette you would never catch it.

We have the Supra and the C8 in our exotic car fleet. I must say for me, the Supra is a more fun car to drive. Ppl say that sounds crazy but with the Supra, you get instant torque and pulls away immediately and handles likes a dream. The C8 once after taking off, felt slow and didn’t pull away aggressively anymore even with the pedal to the metal. For me, I would pick the Supra for a daily car. The C8 draws a lot of attention and looks sexy as hell.
@@sharvisharvz_pyrotechnics5559 you must be a shit driver because the Vette definitely doesn't feel slow
Supra should have atleas 450 horses in order to compete against the corvette. Im surprised how supra was keeping up with the c8. I mean the distance between them was very less. Nice job, great video 👍
Has about 390whp, 450ish crank
C8 will wipe the floor with the Supra. Especially when equipped with the Z51 pkg. Unless of course the Supra is tuned.
Tit for tat. C8 is the better car stock for stock but if the debate is this for that, add a FuelTech ECU and an ETS Twins Kit and that BMW Zupra would be a non factor. MK4s are the REAL Supras and the 2JZ is legendary. Those duck snort farts the bmw engine makes on shift sounds horrible. Lol.

@L W You dont need 20k for the supra. Less than 10k and it'll dogwalk that C8 for half the price 😂😂😂
@@refillz5281 Sure kid. "Dog walk" is a teenager term. You put an equal amount of cash in either one, and the Vette will win every single time. There is something called balance, and although you are young your feeble mind may not grasp that concept. Your bmw my fangirl friend is a Front engine Rear wheel drive car with a small inline 6 cylinder engine. Its good to a limit. However that limit will always be exceeded by the C8 with its incredible Mid engine and Rear wheel drive design with a big V8 all still in a very lightweight package. You can root as hard as you want and think in your mind what you want to believe, but the fact of the matter is the new Zupra cant touch a properly built Vette on any surface, and most importantly falls short of its predecessor the MK4 and its amazingly slick 2JZ-GTE engine. Im not a biased fangirl, im a Datsun guy and a Honda purist at heart. So I have no attachment to either. I just know from years of real world experience, on paper alone the C8 is light years ahead of an ugly fat backed coupe with a bastardized BMW engine that duck snort farts on every shift lol.
FYI Just messin with ya man. But fr fr the C8 Z06 is going to be the ultimate street car when released.
I prefer the Corvette by a huge margin, but that Supra is still impressive.
There’s already a video of them racing on the 8th of a mile, Supra won by half a car.
The corvette has to be perfect at the launch to beat the Supra, if it sleep for just a half second the Supra wins. Supra claims 382hp but the Dyno showed 450 to the crank, 388whp.
This will be a closer race than most think.
I say Vette wins by one car if it launches perfect. Stock C8 quarter mile time 11.4 seconds, stock 21 Supra 12.1 seconds.
That’s true my 2021 Supra 1/4 mile is 12.1 but I’ve seen other Supra’s running 11.8 stock .
@Catholic Firefighter My point is that The Supra is much more competitive than people think mainly because Supra underrated it’s power. The car pushes 388whp 450 crank, not 382 base as advertised. I own a 21 Supra and have raced C8 from a rolling start and hang hang right next to them the whole way never loosing power. A90 Supras are much faster than what people think.
You know your stuff, brother! As impressed as I am with the Supra, the Chevy C7 and especially the C8 and C8 Z06 are going to dominate as Weekend Warriors that they are

Was going to get a corvette, msrp of one I was looking at was 57,000. This dealer was selling a used one for 120k. These people are out of their minds. Even more so, the tools who buy them at that insane markup.
Agreed!
Couldn't agree more with you Sam.The C8 Corvette is nice and all and looks good especially has a nice interior and the front of the car looks good and yes it does launch very good like a awd but the Supra for me over the Vette any day of the week coz it's a more practical vehicle then the Vette it has Bmw enginered straight six turbo engine and it also has tons of aftermarket support to make it go even faster it's nice and comfortable to drive on a daily basis.the Vette will be good for a weekend car just like how Sam said.
The C6 is probably the best Corvette and THIS is the Corvette that made him love Corvettes? What the hell!?
I've been waiting for this! Personally, I really like the C8 and I'm not a Vette fan at all.. That being said, I would never pay the markup that they are selling for currently. They average about $120k new here and although it's 500hp and mid engine, it just isn't worth that much. At the end of the day, the build quality and materials is still a Chevy.. and Chevy priced it what it's at for a reason. Still an awesome sports car tho. Best Vette yet imo although you can build some massive power out of the C6 & C7. This is just a better overall package than those.
So is it worth it or no 😂
Its totally worth what dealers ask for or they wouldnt sell them. In my area, they sell them at 140k and they cant keep up for the demand. Many people say they are just as good as a McLaren and the same quality level too. Just more reliable than a McLaren. Also, Chevy priced it at 70k because they have a big leverage in the industry. Ford would sell it almost 150k if they made that same exact car because theyre not worth 1/2 of what GM is for example. Tadge Juechter himself answered that question pretty well(he’s the chief engineer of the last 3 vettes). Very smart guy.
@@RBZ06LT6 man, they're nice but they're only selling for $140k bc people are hyped for them, not bc they're worth that. Chevy priced them at $60k bc that's exactly what the amount of materials with added profit cost for them. The materials, engineering, and performance that went into these is not McLaren level man come on now... just bc it has a super car design doesn't make it a super car. It's still only 500hp ( ik that sounds ridiculous haha ) but that's the truth. I mean, something is worth what people will pay for them but the only reason these are breaking over $100k is bc of the dealer markup, and that's fully at the dealers discretion and the reason why these are trading hands at what they're costing. The ZR1 model? I'd pay $100k for that, it'll have 800hp and I'm not disagreeing that these aren't nice! 800hp with this design yes I'd pay that for it. But not a base for $120k no way man it's just not worth it. Same things happened with the Type R and Focus RS, dealers marked them up $15k-20k and bam people were paying $50k for a Focus or Civic, when the manufacturers priced them at $35k bc that's what they're worth. I love these C8s but as Bob Barker would say the price ain't right haha

@@SamCarLegion lol I guess we’re in for a surprise then
American muscle rules. And Chevy is king.
For the price you’d get out the door, the supra is so worth compared!
I'd say the corvette is better bang for buck, faster, sexier, more luxurious. The GTR needs to be extra tuned just to be able to truly keep up with the corvette, which would be spending alot more money, so it'd cost more just to make the GTR as fast as the corvette when you could JUST BUY THE FASTER CORVETTE CHEAPER lmao, and base prices compared it's only a few thousand more, when you're talking 50k+ a few thousand is nothing
"Never liked the look" omg, how could you not like Corvette cars??!!! Wth the C7 Z06 is just amazing!
Ugly asf - I only like C8
corvette ofc )
Where i live the Corvette C8 full loaded = 2 full loaded Supra and you still have Chang , so for me i see the Supra is a better choice
Corvette all the way. It's easy to egress by rotating & putting both feet on ground. I do It all time in my Caddy ATSV. I've tracked the C8 at NCM in KY and was amazing. I'm 5'10 240 bad back & neck had ZERO issues getting in or out with helmet on.
