Suprachargedtt Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Reason i ask is a mate took me out in his (R2, Played with bigger turbo, 6 speed etc) and all i can say is WOW. I have never really looked at Evos before raced a few, but the way they handle is amazing. I was seriously impressed. His is rolling road proven 365@ at the fly 305@ the wheels which doesnt sound much compared to figures you see on here, but every gear change was "neck snappingly quick" and it just stuck to the road like it was on rails. He wants to sell his and im seriously tempted as the performance was great, but i just love the supra too much, My supra is an auto, and felt quick (BPU+) but not as quick as the Evo. Would a manuel feel "neck snappingly quick"? The auto box is great but i do miss the manuel thrashing through gears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 havent been in one, but very interested in what people have done to them, and what is thought of them, as I am considering buying one, once the supra is finished, early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 It really depends what roads you were on. Major A roads and motorways, the auto is great for the long gear ratio's, but anything less and I find the 6spd SO much more fun, and quicker, to drive. Provided its dry there's so much fun to be had swapping gears, especially if BPU. My mates Scoobies and Evo's (high power ones too) can't keep up with me on the "13 bend of death" between Reading and Oxford. Even starting from the back I have no problem catching them in the corners and overtaking on the few straights. Take a properly sorted manual (not ebay cr*p) for a drive and see what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
