monsween Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Not really a race but a proper annoyance of mine is in roadworks. Coming home from holiday a few months back i was driving my dads Saab. There was roadworks with a merge at the end of it. EVERYONE was sitting in the inside lane and not merging so as you do i went up to the cones to merge. As i was driving up at around 30 (speed limit 50) a prick in an Audi swerved into the middle of the road to stop me passing him as he'd no doubt sat in the traffic. Very dangerous and the only thing stopping me going mental was the family he had in his car! Twat. Back to the main subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably have done the same thing to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 lol... I'd probably have done the same thing to you Why? It clearly states use both lanes and merge. I can't help it if i'm following the road signs. And if i'm honest i hope it stays the same (minus the w*nker in the Audi) as it means i can avoid most of the traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 This is one thing I won't miss about the Supra when it goes, ever since I bought it it's just been streams of people tailgating etc. Last weekend I took the misses and little one out, driving around some nob in a Audi A4 ( with his kids in the car also) wanted to try his luck, I was on an A road single lane with blind corners, doing 60, he came past me right close to a bend and almost caused a big accident but managed to cut back in front of me before an arctic hit him!

I hear you on that. If you're in towns, it's all the little Citroens or some other God awful car with a fart can on the back that tail gate you with their camera phone stuck out the window. If it's on motor ways or country roads, it's a thirty-something dad trying to relive glory days by passing you in his Mercedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if i'm honest i hope it stays the same (minus the w*nker in the Audi) as it means i can avoid most of the traffic Yes YOU avoid the traffic, but EVERYONE ELSE has to slow down to let you in. If you queued up like everyone else the traffic would flow forward at an even rate and everyone would get to their destination quicker, not just you. This is basic traffic flow logistics, regardless of what the signs say. The Audi driver may have been wrong doing what he did but I too would feel frustrated if I queued up only for someone else to push in at the front.

Scott Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Have to go against you there also Kieran. The reason everyone is in the non-merging lane is because they have had the foresight to merge before the cones, meaning everyone is in an orderly fashion. It is the people who constantly want in from the merge lane that cause the queue to move slowly. If everyone had the same thinking as yourself you wouldn't be any further forward anyway, by leaving it to the last minute that is. I always give a thumbs up to the artics etc who stop the chancers from jumping the queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, that's not right. The times I have seen it happening has been drivers spotting chancers wayyyyyy off and pulling out Almost causing an accident is grounds for a slap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I refuse to race. Mostly as i have an N/A and would probably lose When i had my TT i would only "boot it" if the car i was against was newish. I have a kind of mental happyness thing when you smash a 20k car into the ground with a 15 year old toyota. Case in point focus ST. i couldnt disagree more...ppl on here go on about ive got an na so wont race and all that.ive also got an na and if im honest if they want a race they will get a race! as a result ive never been smoaked of anything,my friend has a new evo 10 fq 300 and he cant leave me,same goes for my other mates sti.......i can only recall one time actualy where i was totaly nailed and that was by a 690 bhp skyline which i must say he booted it and just went.....we later pulled over hence me finding out it was 690 bhp.even on trackdays ive never been left behind so as i said i just dont get why you guys say there so slow? granted there not as fast as the turbo model i totaly understand that but the supra na in my 6 years experience is a fast car in its own right.

Scott Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 An unbroken 300hp Evo would leave a N/A Supra for dust. Same goes for the STi. Unless you don't understand the concept of being left for dust? The 0-60 times for those cars are leagues ahead of the N/A. Same goes for 0-100, 1/4 mile and top speed so at which point aren't you being left? Because you are "only" a second and a half behind after 1/4 of a mile? In fact the 1/4 mile times of those cars standard will be similar to a run of the mill BPU Supra (13ish seconds).

jake supra Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm sure an evo 4wd has better traction than a rwd supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ha ha god love supra net.........i had this when i mentioned wht my car did on the quarter "no way it does that" "sure you aint got noz" "prove it" so i did and no one said anything...id get a vid of the evo thing again, as no one belives anything on here im starting to work out however think it would not go down well with the local authorities! can see a couple of 172's coming my way if i did and it wouldnt be the first time.

skippyboyo1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm sure an evo 4wd has better traction than a rwd supra correct but unless he slips the clutch to death it just bogs down.....again ive seen this many many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you raced the Evo from 130mph, how fast have you got to in your NA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you raced the Evo from 130mph, how fast have you got to in your NA? 163mph on the limiter in 5th (my speedo must be out though as the evo is limited to 155mph and im not pulling away or anything on top end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
