Corvette, skyline or supra?
Corvette c6 (not z06)
What one is best as far as handling, 0-60 and overall performance.
What about a modified supra or skyline how will that match up against a c6?

Depends how much your willing to spend. However, one thing is without question. You could never spend enough to make either one of them look as good as a Vette. And, neither will never have the following among auto enthusiasts the Vette does.

When you say Skyline are you referring to the G35? Because it's the same car in Japan.
I just bought one (a 2006 Coupe) and although it's a fine car, it'll not even come close to matching the handling of my Z06, I know you said not a Z06, but it's all I have to compare it to.
If I were to guess, I'd say it'll pull a .092 on a G meter if it had one like the Z06. It is a very predictable car and is a lot of fun to slide, you just have to get used to seeing the tac at 4500 RPM to keep the tires spinning.
I enjoy mine as my dd.
P.S. I also owned a Supra but I dropped too much money into it for a fair comparision. It was featured in Turbo magazine

i used to own an R33 skyline. it was a great car but here in the US it got WAY too much attention for me. it was my daily driver and i couldnt go anywhere without people stopping me to look at it. when i lived in japan with the car nobody cared at all. that said it handled really well, not quite as good as the vette but still good. biggest problem was getting parts here in the US for it.

Supra? Whend did they stop making them? I believe the last year was a 2002 so I wonder what would handle better a 2010 C6 or a 2002 supra? Hmmmmm.......... I assume you are talking about the Skyline GT-R which was also not produced past 2002. So you are asking us to compare 2 foriegn cars that the newest production models were 2002s to a car still in production and still being refined. Give me a break dude!

I also see that you love to respond and play with kids who make stupid posts. So it seems like we can add one....lame, boring and dimwitted.

Not that you need to know but since you brought it up. The weather is cool and, threatening rain here in Chicago. Sadly, this somewhat ruined the weekend plans. Fortunately some good hockey is on TV today. So between periods I check the forum. However, if you find that members that have a genuine interest and that are owners of Corvettes have a boring life for being on the forum that is indeed sad. My point was for someone whom does not own a Vette and, merely comes on CF just to start trouble has somewhat of a sad life. If you cannot tell the difference that is on you. For the record as you can clearly see the prior post was referring to the OP with a to you.

I strongly urge you to re-read my post. In the future I would also suggest you not jump the gun. I actually stated you had a good find and, that you exposed a troll.

Simply stated the Vette, not possible to answer with modifications unless you specify what modifications.

Actually it was 1997 or 98 when they stopped making that car, shortly after they stopped C4 production.

Surely, somewhere in the bowels of this forum, this question must have been addressed before.
Meanwhile I think I'll move on to the burning question of whether it's hotter in the summer or in the mountains.
Sorry, I know you're probably serious with your question. I just don't know how to respond to it.
