Not in wavetable mode, but I get close enough with the multi osc. Their filters are different, but I don't find it difficult to get a huge, wide supersaw style of sound from Thor. In general I've found that trying to get 2 synths to perfectly match each other is kind of a fruitless endeavor, so I prefer to evaluate them based on whether or not I can easily program usable sounds for my needs.
I did a quick raw comparison of a simple supersaw filter sweep between Thor and Sylenth1:

It's not exactly night and day, at least not at the fundamental level. It does change a bit when one considers envelopes, internal FX and filter overdrive.
Here is a different demonstration using only Thor multi-osc without any effects where I gradually detune them:

I'm not trying to suggest that either of these synthesizers replaces the other, they're quite different in many ways, but I think a lot of people would be surprised by what can be coaxed out of Thor alone.
