JohnA Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I currently own both a VVTi and a non-VVTi. There's a very noticeable difference in the power delivery below 4000rpm.... Hmmm...makes you think, doesn't it? In that case it looks like the VVTi wasn't operational in the one I drove there. Good thing I didn't consider buying anything from them at the time. Because another Supra I test-drove there (jap spec, rather cheap by the market standards of the time) felt exactly the same as the UK one I just bought now, and (surprise-suprise) turbo#2 is not playing ball...

Bobbeh Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 They were good Jake, but there are better, nothing indicates its above the norm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Yeah, I see what you mean Rob, those times have been bettered a lot at other events. All I can say is that out of the 11 Supras competing that day my VVTi got the best 60' and the best 0-60 for a non single turbo car.

Bobbeh Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Shame no one leaves them standard anymore, the best way to really compare times/performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Aerotop as a Targa ... You're right for wanting a VVTi though, it's waaay superior to the non-VVTi engine What about an aerotop VVTI then? *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 VVTi aerotops are common.. in the US anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Red perhaps... I like red... leave it in the sun for a while and it's discoloured badly. Red is the worst colour for sun damage. I actually liked the orange furious car. My next best would be black, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Are you the guy with a Honda NSX, my friend also has one. In fact, I was driving my friends nsx a couple of months back going down the M606 and saw another one on the opposite side, must have been you. We'll have to meet up some time.
