what the hell is going on..... my friends stock FQ330 was glued to my supra's rear bumper upto 90mph last night before i started making good ground on him..... Anyone else got experience of FQ330's To me they seem extremely fast to 90. I was running 1.12 Bar on Hybrids One thing that seems clear is that the FQ's have NO lag and perfect gearing.... Ouch :swear:

Problem is my supra is over the 400 Bhp mark ? Think it just comes down to power / weight / grip ratios ...... when the supra got dug in i started making good ground.

 

Just a bit of a shock thats all.

0-60 in 4.4 - it will have you under 90 mph :)

 

http://www.autoroadtests.com/car.php?make=(14)&range=(26)&model=(336)&gen=VIII%20(03%20-%2004)

 

to put it in perspective my auto supe is about 380 ish bhp at the fly and manages 0-60 in about 4.9

 

that link is to a FQ300, i assume the FQ330 would be 30 bhp more powerful which will be quicker still ?

 

Don't know much about all the different types but my mates Evo6 will always without a doubt do me to 60 but i will eventually catch up and overtake at about 100. Problem is how often do you get to race to over 100 ! soooo irritating.

I love the Advantage's of owning a fast bike as well a car :D

 

Especially when a car tries it on :D

 

i tried it on with a bike yesterday, i have absolutely no idea what it was, it looked sporty and had 2 exhausts (i sound like my mum "it was red and had 2 wheels"). probably just playing with me but i stayed with him to 100. most likely he didn't even know i was behind him :cry:

you should NOT have a problem with an fq 330 trust me, my sister boyfriend has one and i'll always beat him with no problems on the roll and i have similar power to you when i'm running 1.0 bar which is what i usually run, don't race him to 60 from standing

This looks like as good a place as any to start causing trouble...

 

I have an Evo 8, but only the baby one (260 bhp) - mine is restricted in first gear, which means that you will be gone but then I will catch you! :clap:

 

Seriously though, the Evos are, if anything, a bit hampered off the line by their electronic trickery (active yaw control and traction control) which tend to bog it down on a launch; but once rolling they have a terrifying turn of speed and you would need a lot more than standard power in your Supra to keep up with a 300/320/330/340.

 

I don't bugger about much with other drivers but on the odd occasion that I have it is the rate that you catch up which bewilders most of them!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

 

Interesting feedback re the launch as that's something I really wouldn't have expected, does the 260 have the same gubbins as the higher powered models when it comes to all the gizmos?
