Supragal Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sometimes they just want to see how fast a Supe is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 we had a GSI astra give it some on way back from meet in southampton. Only problem is the NA is only just quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sometimes they just want to see how fast a Supe is!! Yeah that's true, but sometimes they also think they can beat them. I used to think my ZR was fast, but once I'd been in a Supra I realised it was actually really crap!!! Most people have never been in really fast cars and don't realise that the supe competes with Ferraris etc. And probably don't even know exactly how fast a Ferrari is anyway!!

RedM Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 A colleague of mine claims that he watched TOTB type show on cable last night in which Supras were getting, in his own words, annihilated! He claims a Maestro with turbo beat one as well and all the Supra 1/4 mile times were 16 secs or higher! Even worse, he is waiting for me to get mine so he can, ahem, 'challenge' me with his 2.0 Corsa. Daft bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 That's been showing all week. long time ago. It was 500 meters as well not a quarter mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 That's been showing all week. long time ago. It was 500 meters as well not a quarter mile. I also that and was a bit disappointed with the drivers performance - Christian I think it was, Black with big tail, oh sh*t - he's not one of our members, is he? How old is that clip then?

Barry Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 A colleague of mine claims that he watched TOTB type show on cable last night in which Supras were getting, in his own words, annihilated! He claims a Maestro with turbo beat one as well and all the Supra 1/4 mile times were 16 secs or higher! I saw that, it was Leon against the Maestro. He fluffed the start and didn't run, which is why the Meastro beat him. Looked quite good program, didn't see the start of it tho, but Ronnie's liner is fappin fast!

Aerotop Dave Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 That's the 2002 TotB compo. In 18 months of driving my Supra I've not had one person attempt to race me at all. I never got it in my 200SX either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I get BMW's and Laguna's and things like that try it on, I mean, whats the point!? If they are in another sports car then I'll have a go, but its not worth the petrol otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I find Golf GTI drivers are the worst, even when you're driving slowly in traffic they think its good to be sitting on your rear bumper , think it gives them the false sense of security that they would still be able to keep up if the roads were clear! I love letting them pass on a dual carriageway and as soon as they get back into the left lane you leave them for dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Happened to me yesterday! An RS turbo pulled in front of me from a side road. Whilst in slow traffic, he started revving his engine as If he's gonna scare me. When we hit a clear road he put his foot down, so did I. I overtook with ease and came to a traffic light with him behind me. On the green, i floored it and he had to give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 I find a lot of people in normal Merc's try it aswell..........would'nt want to play around with one of those SL55 amg mercs I had a race with one of those Fiat coupe 20v turbo's.....kept up quite well actaully.......quite surprised, it was only point to point though.....might have been a different story on a motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't fluff the start, his autobox overheated That Maestro was streets ahead of any other FWD car back at TotB1, it was an awesome beast and respect to the owner/builder. Even now there is only one or two things that worry it. The runs were 500m as well, as someone has said earlier. Christian Doran had probs with his car but pulled a good top speed, Paul Whiffin did well despite his first single turbo only being finished a couple of weeks before, and I did alright on the top speed but couldn't launch for shit -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Can I just apologise for kinda hijacking this thread. In my post I was trying to point out that my colleague is one of those people who doesn't realise how fast cars like Supras actually are and wants to 'take me on' when I get mine. For what its worth, I've said no unless it is away from public roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kghelmet Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 we had a GSI astra give it some on way back from meet in southampton. Only problem is the NA is only just quicker when i was looking to buy my supra i was going to buy a N/A but i was advised by a turbo owner that if you have a supra everyone will try it on and i won`t have the power to blow a lot of cars away(sorry n/a owners) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
