Paul Laing Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Mac - How can you say the Supra is the worst Supercar to come out of Japan? The nicest has to be either the Supra or the RX-7, then the Skylines, then the 300ZX, they just look so much more dated compared to the Supra, no contest on looks, and you hear of so many 1000bhp Supras/Skylines but not so many 300ZX's, the Skyline is the main Nissan Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laing Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Looks like a Supra spoiler mate........mmmmmm But i still can't understand how you think the Supra is ugly, it's gorgeous!!! Certainly not cheap in the slightest. Interior is amazing too, nicest there is for the money unless you go for a Porsche or Ferarri, points towards the driver as this is a true drivers car.

Guest Ricardo_Tubbs Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Looks awesome Mac, you know that a Supra comes stock with 550cc injectors though? Anyway, hope it all goes welll and that it runs well etc. when it's finished. Some of our guys are a little biased but ignore them, they are just yanking yer chain.

Steve W2 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I think your car would look much better if you didn't have the spolier on the back personally. It is curious how you said you hated the Supra's rear end in particular, and then you go slap a Supra spoiler on the back of your Zed! I thought somebody photoshopped it on for a joke!! You must obviously have a lot of money as well, I wouldn't fork out 23K for perfomance/tuning mods on my car and not know expected HP figures. Have you go another 23K ready for when it blows up?

BigRoy Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 LOL! Macca I think your Zed looks like a tupperware convention:D LOL! at Paul Laing (tech expert) 300 is a V6 dont think a single would work too well! Gotta give credit to Ian, he is undertaking something which no one has done in the UK. 23K is nothing! Look at how much Leon has put into his 100K +! If no one did this then we wouldnt have the R&D to go faster, so give the guy credit wheres it due. Also Ian's 20 stone and breaks peoples legs for a living, so be nice!

Paul Laing Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Big Roy – So are you saying you can’t single turbo a V6???? I never knew that, if you love the 300 so much why don’t you go on their board? The 300 will never be in the Supra league, it just won’t happen!!! Skylines first, the R33 and R34 then the Supra. Definetly not the 300 Shed Ex, Knight Riders car!!! And I for one have never slagged off his car, it has to be the nicest 300 in the UK, PPS did his car aswell as mine and his car is amazing! The wide kits look great, I’m just giving my opinion on the 300s, not this one. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 You can single turbo a V6, but twins are just easier for the layout. Love the Supra spoiler, how about a Supra engine next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Thought you could put a single turbo on a V6, it might be easier to stick with the twins but the remark about how you can’t put a single on is bullsh*t then? Cheers Syed for clearing that up. Supra spoiler, engine, interior, then it might be better lol, just kidding Mac, your cars quality mate!

IMHO their are no single 300's due to it being a v6. I'd be interested in seeing one running.LOL! I dont love the 300? I had one before the supe, it had its merits but I up graded. I do go on their board because i have friends there. OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
