RedM Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 So, Adnan. Have you decided which track or drag strip you'll be using? Maybe a few of us could come down and watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think its also fair to say that the R32 despite being a lard arse would be quicker round bends than a Supra. Although I cant confrim that, its just me guestimating based on the old RWD vs 4WD debate... It's not a super fandango 4wd system, it's not even a bog basic quattro, just cheapo haldex style job iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Why didnt he get a faster car for 15k? Does he know a lot about cars or does he buy what he thinks is the latest fashion accesory? 15k will buy you a lot of cars that would nail a bpu supe from a standing and rolling start.

Luxluc Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 A friend of mine runs a R32 ... I had a drive with it last week (never drove one before). I was really disappointed ... pulls nice in the first two gears (similar to a Golf GTI) but from 3rd gear on, my wife's Citroen XSARA HDI will not be lost that much behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 To be fair to the Golf, it's a suped up family car. The Supra was designed to be a supercar slayer, and with a few tweeks it still is. You should be taking your Supra to trackdays and trying to mix it with the Porsches, TVRs + M3s, which is what it was designed to do.

michael Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 9Unxbuxbm_w I spent a while looking at R32s not so long ago and was close to selling the Supra with a view to getting one and either adding a supercharger or a turbo... but then I did the sums and worked out that I'd be spending close to £30k in the end for a car that's common as muck, the R32 just doesn't look special enough with it's generic Passat style front and it's normal Golf looks. It's subtle and to some degree that's what I want but it needs that edge to give it the "look back as you walk away when parked up" appeal that the Supra has. The R32 is built well, the seats are lovely, the interior is a really nice place to be etc but tax band G, crap economy, limited performance for a flagship car and the high price mean there are much better options for less cash. Maybe one with the R36 lump and a turbo could be interesting though... Standard ones get to 60 quick enough but then it's all a bit of a chore: qtzyXwef8FI A mildly tuned one will get to 100mph in about 13.5 seconds though.... hTrJIvpmaaQ The good thing is that tuning parts are pretty cheap from the US and Europe and because the cars are so common there are lots to choose from - if you do decide to go up against an R32 and lose don't feel too bad about it.... this is what got me thinking about them, keep the looks standard and spend the money elsewhere: 3N7EH7QFlNU 2PbTmjLfZnM I'd expect a Supra (BPU) vs R32 (tuned) race to be a lot like this depending on driver skill of course: SrCYX0RowGk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Did you not say these races have all been 0-60? IF you have already beaten an Impreza, R33 and Evo 8 then why are you worried about an R32? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 OK MY FRIENDS!!!! HAD THE RACE THIS MORNING AT A TOP SECRET LOCATION!!! RESULTS WERE:- 1ST RACE - SUPRA PIS*ED ALL OVER THE R32 2ND RACE - SUPRA PIS*ED ALL OVER THE R32 3RD RACE - R32 WITH A HEAD START - SUPRA PIS*ED ALL OVER THE R32!!!!! massively shocked with the R32. the gearbox is brilliant but the engine combined with its heavy ass really let it down. even from the start 0-60 my sup wheel spinned a lot but toar past the R32, i was expecting it to take off having 4WD. 7-0 !!! Result!!! i have now retired from racing my friend who has stated 'F*k U man u cheated...........................' LOL sore looser.....
