marc_p Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Strange to think I’m approaching my 15th anniversary of being a member on here after owning 4 Supra’s. As many on here, my love of Supra’s started with the infamous orange Supra from the original The Fast and The Furious. Which is why I now find it quite surreal to be driving the other car from ‘that’ race!!! So, anyone up north in a big single fancy destroying an F355 off the lights to replicate that scene? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want to get on another Dragonball, I’d be half tempted to take the Caterham though, did a 2500 mile euro trip in one previously and was great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very different cars that are suited for differing situations. The 355 is an incredible car that produces sounds I didn’t think possible, but you can’t push it like you can with the Supra. With the Supra I could happily kick the back end out and with it being such a controllable car, I felt like you could really work the car at it’s limit. When it comes to the 355, I would be fearful to get close or put it at its limit, as the car will likely chew you up and spit you out 36 minutes ago, mharvey said: Absolute dream!

And yes definitely got to be more careful in a 355, never driven one but I'd imagine if you had the back end out on a rear engined car it would be abit of a kind of pendulum effect and very tricky to correct compared to the supra. With regards to dragonball, you should definitely come on Burnas run in Sept to nurburgring, in the 355 I might add, sod the miles and depreciation haha. Its going to be a right laugh if France was anything to go by!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep another reason I went for the lc as it seems to be holding its value atm, mind im putting some miles on it what with Dragonball and The run Be great if you can make one or both of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
