I know it's not entirely comparable and is a 10 year old car at this point - damn - but it has a nicer interior - and runs 9.8 @ 153 - and can be road-raced if desired, at lower boost.

GM won't have any problems selling the Z06, so why fix what isn't broke?
The 996 interior is solid as a rock - fit and finish is what it should be for a $100k car - materials, fit, and finish. Same goes for the Supra. And, I agree the interior DESIGN of the Supra is not the best - as well as for the 996.

I am also talking materials and fit/finish. The C6 I drove was a huge improvement from the C5 and it wasn't something I would complain about quality wise. I appreciate nice craftmanship and have sat in some of the nicer interiors, but the 996 didn't knock my socks off. Maybe I was expecting too much since everyone raves about it. It is no where near up to the quality of my dads old A8 nor his 545i.

If you are looking for a luxury car interior, then no, you should not buy a sports car.I have also heard the interior of the C6 is much better than the C5 - and that's good.

The C6 interior is not bad at all. It is light years ahead of the C5 interior and definitely much better than my 350Z's interior. It's not the best in the market, but it's not terrible either. As I said earlier, the picture in this thread does not do it justice. It's quite decent in person.
