Clarkey Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 mate .. good luck with your Supra search. it would want to be one hell of a supra to keep with me, Impressive stats the sti. Though - I would think you'd struggle to keep up with a BPU Supe after 80 - 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 i'll be over before christmas so i'll let you feel the power of the supra, i think we'll have to take the N7 though to get a decent spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 it would want to be one hell of a supra to keep with me! Mate a standard supra would beat a standard Sti, maybe not from the off, but would soon real it in A tuned supra would waste a tuned Sti Is that not why your upgraded to a supra, I would say a move from a subaru to a supra would be an upgrade not a downgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 nah man standing quarter mile for a tt supra is a slower than a standard sti classic,0-60 in 4.5secs compared to tt supras 5.5sec but after then id say the supra is just wicked Also not wanting to start an argument, but can I just say you can't use stats like that - the RWD will have less grip obviously so off the line you could lose a second. That loss will stay with you until you eventually catch up at higher speeds - that doesn't mean a rolling start from 20mph wouldn't see the Supra lose the scoob all the way to 180. Anyway, you seem knowledgable enough, especially compared to a lot of the people that come on here!! I'm sure you're aware of each cars plus points and negatives, I fancy something nippy, nimble and quick off the line when the Supe finally goes - I'll miss the motorway pull though!
