To maximize occupant safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Corvette have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The Toyota Supra doesn’t offer pretensioners.

The Corvette E-Ray has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Supra doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

Both the Corvette and the Supra have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras, available blind spot warning systems and rear cross-path warning.

Warranty

The Corvette’s corrosion warranty is 1 year longer than the Supra’s (6 vs. 5 years).

There are over 2 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Toyota dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Corvette’s warranty.

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Corvette third among compact premium sporty cars in their 2024 Initial Quality Study. The Supra isn’t in the top three in its category.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2024 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Chevrolet vehicles are better in initial quality than Toyota vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Chevrolet second in initial quality, above the industry average. With 32 more problems per 100 vehicles, Toyota is ranked 17th.

As tested in Car and Driver the Corvette Z06 5.5 DOHC V8 is faster than the Toyota Supra 3.0 (automatics tested):

	Corvette	Supra
Zero to 60 MPH	2.6 sec	4.3 sec

As tested in Car and Driver the Corvette Z06 5.5 DOHC V8 is faster than the Toyota Supra 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder (automatics tested):

	Corvette	Supra
Zero to 60 MPH	2.6 sec	4.7 sec

In a Car and Driver race course test, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Z07 Coupe was clocked 17 seconds faster than the Toyota Supra 3.0 (158.6 sec. vs. 175.6 sec.).

Motor Trend magazine performs a classic 0 to 100 MPH and back to 0 MPH performance test. The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible completed this feat in only 9.7 seconds. It took the Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium 14.2 seconds.

In an extreme test of performance conducted by Car & Driver magazine, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe demonstrated the extrodinary ability to accelerate to 150 MPH and then stop completely in only 22.5 seconds. It took the Toyota Supra 3.0 31.1 seconds.

Fuel Economy and Range

The Corvette can travel with zero emissions on a full charge for 5 miles. The Supra can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Corvette (except Z06/ZR1)’s fuel efficiency. The Supra doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

The Corvette has 4.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Supra (18.5 vs. 13.7 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The Corvette has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Supra doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Corvette offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The Supra doesn’t offer an SMG.

All wheel drive, available in the Corvette, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Toyota Supra is not available with all wheel drive.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Corvette CCB’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Supra:

	Corvette CCB	Supra 2.0	Supra Premium/45th Anniversary
Front Rotors	15.7 inches	13 inches	13.7 inches
Rear Rotors	15.4 inches	13 inches	13.6 inches

The Corvette offers optional heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Supra doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

The Corvette stops much shorter than the Supra:

	Corvette	Supra
150 to 0 MPH	604 feet	681 feet	Car and Driver
100 to 0 MPH	274 feet	302 feet	Car and Driver
70 to 0 MPH	139 feet	151 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	95 feet	100 feet	Motor Trend

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Corvette Z06/E-Ray/ZR1’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Supra (F:275/30R20 & R:345/25R21 vs. F:255/35R19 & R:275/35R19).

The Corvette’s standard 245/35R19 front and 305/30R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Supra 2.0’s standard 40 series tires. The Corvette Z06/E-Ray/ZR1’s 275/30R20 front and 345/25R21 rear tires have a lower 30 series front and 25 series rear profile than the Supra 3.0’s 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Corvette has standard 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Supra 2.0. The Corvette Z06/E-Ray/ZR1’s 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels are larger than the 19-inch wheels on the Supra 3.0.

The Corvette has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Supra doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the Corvette can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Supra doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Corvette’s wheelbase is 10 inches longer than on the Supra (107.2 inches vs. 97.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the average track (width between the wheels) on the Corvette is 2.8 inches wider in the front and 1.6 inches wider in the rear than the track on the Supra.

The Corvette Z06 Z07 Coupe handles at 1.16 G’s, while the Supra 3.0 Premium pulls only 1.00 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Corvette Z06 Z07 Coupe executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 2.1 seconds quicker than the Supra 3.0 (21.9 seconds @ .99 average G’s vs. 24 seconds @ .83 average G’s).

Chassis

The Corvette’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The Supra doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

The Corvette uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Supra doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Cargo Capacity

The Corvette Coupe has a much larger trunk than the Supra (12.6 vs. 10.2 cubic feet).

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the Supra 3.0, the Corvette offers an optional driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, suspension setting and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The Corvette’s optional easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Supra doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The Corvette’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Supra does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The Corvette’s standard Keyless Open and Start allow you to unlock the doors from either outside door handle, open the trunk, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Smart Key System standard on the Supra doesn’t offer a sensor on the trunk.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Corvette has standard extendable sun visors. The Supra doesn’t offer extendable visors.

The Corvette’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The Supra’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Corvette keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Supra doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the Corvette’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The Supra doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

Model Availability

The Chevrolet Corvette comes in coupe and convertible bodystyles; the Toyota Supra isn’t available as a convertible.

Economic Advantages

Insurance will cost less for the Corvette owner. The Complete Car Cost Guide estimates that insurance for the Corvette will cost $415 to $6115 less than the Supra over a five-year period.

The Corvette will cost the buyer less in the long run because of its superior resale value. The IntelliChoice estimates that the Corvette will retain 67.13% to 70.13% of its original price after five years, while the Supra only retains 53.89% to 67.06%.
