Guest Flat4_ire Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 right guys....met a guy there last weekend in the local and we got chattin over a few bits and pieces..got chatting bout cars of course, started telling me bout this wicked supra he got, jspec 96 tt manual...got it last month, reckons it has bpu over 400bhp etc etc etc,at this stage he was gettin a bit cocky sayin it does this and that, so when he was finished talking muck, i told him what i had, which as u know is a 98 Impreza STi Type R with a few nice mods, 301bhp 365nm torque and i reckoned id leave him for dead!lol not a great top speed with the type r because of the group n gearbox but they do shift seriously quick through the gears.. anyway organised a lil race for sunday evening..we met up and had a few guys present just to witness the whole thing..got a good surface road where we knew nobody would be.. anyway got the hand signal and gone..i nailed to start and for the first 200 metres he looked like a little orange fireball in my rearview mirror,bit of a joke really..now the good stuff,he started sayin he got a lil too much wheel spin off the line because he wasnt ready etc so i said il go again no hassle, go again and the same outcome only he got closer to me this time comin near the end,a lil larger than a fireball this time anyway not saying im a great lad or anything but just some advice for you supra owners,dont think cos u have 3.0 litres of twin turbo that u can take smaller less powerful cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Race him from 40+ instead of a standing start which is bound to favour a 4WD car with a half decent driver. I've raced a P1 and I got killed off the line but I was eating him back up over 70 easily. Nice cars tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Well I can't comment on your specific circumstances but the supe can and does take on the smaller / less powerful cars and usually wins too! I speak as someone who used to have such a 2l 4 pot 4wd motor myself, for several years. Problem is, a 2l 4 pot is always going to be fragile, I saw one go bang around goodwood, the engine block cracked and he wasn't even producing bpu power levels... You took the supe on with the most favourable circumstances for youself, on a roll you would have been toasted for sure. Fit RLTC to the supe and your 'snowball' may have been a manacing front (or rear) leaving you behind also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Congratulations, you'd beat him off the lights and maybe to the first corner of a circuit - wait until you get to the straight and when rolling I have a lot of time for the Impreza but it's a one trick pony.

CJ Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I really dont understand this. Our Irish friend has come on here and continually "upped" the mobile Scooby and yet he is selling it to buy a Supra. If the mobile floats your boat that much, why not keep it and join the Scooby board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 he got, jspec 96 tt manual some advice for you supra owners....:blahblah: Maybe he was struggling with the tractor gearbox in the manual Supra. You might not do so well against an auto Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Firstly, who gives a shit ?!? Secondly, I bought an Impreza turbo - for the missus I personally have moved on, I no longer need a 4WD understeering 2.0 litre learner car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
