grahamc Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I am sure this has been asked before,but I could not find it in my searches. Has the supra even been around the Top Gear Test track, with the stig driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 no is the basic answer mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Supra is far to old for the top gear test track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 there are young supras out there... I have seen much older cars on the track. Pity though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 maybe some one should right to top gear, say that you are a proude owner of a supra and wanted to see how it compared to most others on the bored, also say you want to see if it impresses clarkson, it would be good if they do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Rob Oldham has been round it in his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 The reason I ask, is that a mate of mine at work owns a volvo s40 type r thing that went around the track. Not the best of times, but he thinks his car standard will beat my supra (450bhp) round the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 hasn't this been done several times before, even some of the monster BHP Soops have been turned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I've been around part of it in my Supra. I reckon the Supra could beat all teh hypercars and stuff with a well sorted single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 quite surprising that top gear pay little attention to the whole jap/modifying scene considering how big it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Id love to see a Supra on that track, plus it would give the Supra some more advertising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stopped making it years back, hardly think it needs advertising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 quite surprising that top gear pay little attention to the whole jap/modifying scene considering how big it is I suspect 90% of people who watch top gear dont care about the jap scene! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Id love to see a Supra on that track, plus it would give the Supra some more advertising! Why would the Supra need ANY advertising? It's not like you can pop down to Toyota and buy one! Person:"Hello, I'd like to buy a Supra" Young salesman: "A what? Did you mean Aygo?" Person: "FAIL!"

Mike B Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I reckon the Supra could beat all teh hypercars and stuff with a well sorted single. Your joking! It would need a full track setup and a smaller single. CW or other race engineer would be good to set one up, but a street car on this would be a mess. I know our cars are quick on the dcw, but with a laggy single and crappy street setup I recon a modded supra would be very slow!! we'd be going home with our tails between our legs. The MLR went there to have a go and they had some half decent track enthusiasts cars and could get nowhere near the stigs ferrari/porsche times.

You can come and help me work on my car if you like? laugh... i like it!!! You know, I'd be tempted, if it was just to get you driving it!! and I did change all 6 of my plugs 4 days after my accident because of a missfire... stupid thing to do really I was a mess. I don't know about everyone else but I'd be mental wreck having to take so long to get your car up and running.. I'd want it finished yesterday I hope it lives up to your expectations when it's all done. No-one could ever question criticise for rushing it and patience like yours deserves respect!
