Is the Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Faster Than the C7 Corvette Stingray?
The Toyota GR Supra 3.0 offers a sports car alternative to pricier models like the eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette and Lotus Emira. However, the Supra doesn’t just have to contend with the latest competition; some discontinued sports cars will still give the Toyota-BMW collaboration car a run for its money. So, is the now-discontinued C7 Corvette Stingray up to the standards of the latest and greatest 3.0L Supra?
Is the Toyota GR Supra fast?
The 2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 is a properly quick sports coupe. With 0 to 60 mph sprints finished in less than 4.0 seconds, the eight-speed automatic Supra will contend with the likes of the new Nissan Z, Ford Mustang Mach 1, and Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.
Moreover, the Supra 3.0’s smaller-milled sibling is no slouch. In testing, a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder trim managed a run to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. That makes the more affordable Supra 2.0 quicker than a comparable four-cylinder Ford Mustang EcoBoost, despite a difference of 55 horsepower.
Is a Toyota GR Supra 3.0 faster than a C7 Corvette?
A 2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 and 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 are neck-in-neck when it comes to acceleration to 60 mph. However, the on-paper similarities end there.
| Sports car model | 0-60 mph | ¼ mile | Top speed |
| 2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 | 3.7 seconds | 12.3 seconds | 160 mph (governed) |
| C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 | 3.7 seconds | 11.8 seconds | 181 mph |
According to Car and Driver testing, a C7 Corvette Stingray with an eight-speed automatic hit 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. An impressive sprint, but not one that will put it ahead of the GR Supra.
However, the gulf in horsepower and torque puts the 3.0L Toyota sports car behind the now-discontinued C7 in the quarter mile. Chevrolet claims the Stingray can clear the quarter-mile run in under 12.0 seconds, while MotorTrend coaxed a 12.3-second best out of the automatic Supra.

What car can defeat a GR Supra?
The Toyota GR Supra 3.0 is swift enough to outrun competitors like the traction-limited Nissan Z Performance. However, the latest midengine C8 Corvettes will outrun the Supra in every metric. Furthermore, the BMW M240i xDrive will out-sprint the Supra using the same B58 and grippy AWD.
