Bobbeh Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 C'mon, I think the Supra can handle itself cant believe you're offering other cars to do the job. 'Kiesa' Monkey He'd drift around faster than the 360 would corner normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Supra's have huge road holding abilities...best lateral G in class when they were launched. Nick Kiesa that Monkey was talking about with his T88 Supra handed a lot of Skylines lessons in how to go round corners on a vid I have.

Tannhauser Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Is anybody going to have a go at this, then? I really hope so...I would love to see it. Seems like a golden opportunity to show what a well-set up supe can do. I wonder if Paul W. has seen this or anyone has let him know?

nick_karkie Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I'd have a go if I was any good at driving round a track, which I dont think I am , have already anhialated (sp?) a 355, AM DB7, brand new Porsche 911 Turbo on way home from bolney ha ha, but round a track it might be a different story coz my car would only be devastating getting well above 100 with a good driver at the helm. I'll happily let Terry have a go if he takes responsibility of his old car for the day, regards Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I guess it depends who is driving the 360 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 And how weighted in favour of the rari's the course is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would all love to see the Brighton Beast on TV ( and it would be nice to see your supra too ) Whiffin - get yer bitz out lad and go race the rari man ! Surely this would do you business a lot of good too OK - im bringing my mamas Toyota Starlet if you lot dont do something soon ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Mate this is so a setup.. Sounds to me like someone wants to stick some "rice rockets" against some ferrari's and see them get whooped so they can be all smug and say "look you saddo's you spend all this time and money on them and they are little better than the saxo boys" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 what about a nice powerfull supra with aftermarket suspension. Chris Wilson knows a thing or two about driving. could be worth doing. you might have a powerfull car but you would need some driving skill too. chris has plenty of track time under his belt. could be good to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id happily pop up there and its just up the road but the guy posts up and cant even be bothered to contact anyone who's showed an interest , plus id want paying , its not as if its a well known program or anything if so id do it for free but i cant find anyone whos even heard of it , No 1 contender should be Terry Saunders in Nicks car for sure or Paul Whiffin as im not running on particularly good rubber at the moment .

nick_karkie Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 No 1 contender should be Terry Saunders in Nicks car for sure I'd agree, this is what the car was set up for, not what I bought it for, I bought it just for motorway kills:) , but I dont mind it being used.

Unless someone is hyper confident in their driving skills, probably best avoided.

Paul Whiffin Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Originally posted by AJI Well my UK-spec is running about 400bhp on stock suspension but I think that will not even get close to a properly driven Ferrari 360 round a track. Something like Paul Whiffin's car with huge BHP would 'reel' it in on the straights but through the corners a 360 will trounce a Supra. ('trounce' maybe a bit too severe word but it would be a good few mhp faster). So it basically comes to the track layout and how many corners there are etc. The 360 is a mid-engined sports car setup for track driving, the change of direction on these cars is a lot more than what a Supra can do with it's front engine setup. I hope I'm proved wrong if a high powered Supra did go up against a Ferrari 360 but I think the pure racing pedigree of the Ferrari means anything but a stripped-out fully setup Supra would stand a chance. If this is what Paul has then I'd say go for it ! But I know my Supra is definately not capable. And also if Paul has done a number of track days and knows the limits of his car round corners then he most definately is the prime candidate for this challenge. There's nothing more enjoyable at the track days I do than wooping some Ferrari metal. F40's are easy meat, 360's look like there going backwards! I'd be up for it though of course. I've got a message on my mobile from last week to ring them, been up Scotland watching the Golf for the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
