Have you checked acceleration 0-60 mph TT auto ?

 

I have spoken with VTG ( volkswagen tuning group ) specialist in Poland ( I live here ) about Supra acceleration. It was standard conversation about japanese cars. They told me that it is very difficult to get better result than 8 sec. I was surprised, and I can't believe what they say ! They said also, that supra is very slow before 80 mph, after this speed car is really fast. I have never used any gadgets like a G-tech etc to check acceleration, but when I compare my supra with my other cars ( impreza wrx, astra gsi, vectra gsi, ) and my friends cars ( accord type-r, civic type-r ) it seems be faster in 0-60 mph.

Have you guys some experiene ?

He he he:D

 

Or they may have thought the Handbrake is an air freshner as the burning smell goes away when they put it down!

 

:D :D Yeah,

 

What is different between auto and manual, I mean different in 0-60 mph ?

manual = 4.9s (or 4.6s in an independant test), auto slightly slower (but not a lot), something like 5.1s or so...

 

 

do a search, these figures are common knowledge, even the non-turbo is 6.5s or so - nothing is even remotely as slow as 8s - these people obviously don't have a remote clue - don't let them work on a supra - EVER!

8 seconds, lol...

 

Get an accelerometer dude, and see for yourself

 

 

John how accurate would an accelerometer thing be and also how accurate is something that reads the speed pulse signal like the Apexi digital speed/rev meter?

 

Thanks,

Ro

They probably meant 8 seconds towing a Volkswagon golf behind.:cool:

 

I had a sub 6second to 60 car before, and my Supra Auto gets there faster in my oppinion so certainly in the low 5's unless you got serious problems.

can't remember the exact figures off hand but it's in that arena for some of the crazy 8s 1/4 mile cars that are around!

 

back in the land of normality I guess if you can hit 60 in 5s then an extra 3s should see you up to 90mph or so, 1/4 mile taking around 13.5s or so - not sure of the terminal speed of the stock car for a 1/4, anyone know that?
