Guest godzilla Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi, i bought the s14a as featured in junes japanese performance a couple of months ago and its quick and handles lovely! but i got offered £7200 the other day! i thought do i say no or take the money so i looked at two cars i like a supra manual tt or a gtr i had a r33 gtst before and i miss the comfort and sound it made so i went out in my mate r33 gtr v-spec and loved being back in a skyline now it will cost 7/8k for a r32gtr and £1300 to insure it so thats like 8/9k on the road but i cant spend 7.5/8k on a supra and pay just £600 to insure it i went for a test drive in a standard auto tt supra it felt smooth and when i looked at the speedo i thouht hhmmm dont feel like im doing this speed but there was no feel of going fast or kick in the back! my silvia felt a lot faster....but why? is it cos the sup is stock? with a filter,s/s and boost will that make a huge diff?

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I will say my mates R32 felt way quicker than my BPU Supra, but it has had about 15K spent on it 500+ BHP and now he has some different turbos on it , seems to have lost its punch.

Guest godzilla Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 i went in a r33 gtr with filters,cat back s/s runing 0.7 bar whats traction like with 500+ bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Probably because the Supra you are in is a bigger more comfy GT car whereas the Silver is a smaller, lighter, noisier sports car. A stock car still feels fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 do you need a single turbo or just up the boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 you also got to think that a gtr is all wheel drive where as the supe is 2 wheel drive. Personaly I like a wild rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
