tbourner Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Only pic I could find of a stock Supe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam bell Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 if the new one gets 4wd then it should beat a stock supra,but front wheel drive and mental ford torque steer not good. prodrive made lsd for the old rs and it still had loads of torque steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I thought the supra was 4.9 to 62mph stock (manual 6 speed)? Wasn't it like 5.2 for the auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-DEK Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 That would be a vaild point if it weren't for the fact that their cars are bloody good these days. Same with Skoda. I totally agree. I have had both a RS Octavia(flying machine) re-mapped to 238bhp, and now have the New Mondeo, really nice drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damientt Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 FFS. Go and join the Focus owners' forum. Oooh (!!) ... some Astras are really fast too!!! Or how about a Golf?????????? I think you're missing the point of owning/driving a Supra. Get yourself a Burberry cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith C Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Stop the press! 15 year newer design is better shocker! Best get this on the front page of all the papers. Enjoy your car for what it is, not what it's 'better' than. You don't see E-Type Jag owners bleating because a Clio can out perform them.

SUPRASUZUKI Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Maybe the Ford & Skoda & *insert any other maiinstream manufacturer* are faster / better equipped / handle better / whatever. The difference is, they'll be stacked four high in your local scrap yard whilst Supras (maybe in limited numbers) are still being driven / cherished. I reckon......

I think you're missing the point of owning/driving a Supra. Get yourself a Burberry cap. I've not had any interaction with you before but, on first impressions, I'd have to rate you alongside Ireland's Finest, Mr Chiefgroover, as someone with his head very far up his arse. Is it something in the water over there or what? Stop the press! 15 year newer design is better shocker! Best get this on the front page of all the papers. Enjoy your car for what it is, not what it's 'better' than. You don't see E-Type Jag owners bleating because a Clio can out perform them. The trouble is that people on here bang on about how fast/powerful the Supra is. It's faster than an LP640, it's faster than an R8, it's this, that, the other blah blah blah. It's a shame that a fair number of people don't just enjoy it for what it is. Me personally, I don't really give a toss. I'm a-going diesel.

colsoop Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 250 hp and fwd i have 2 words > Torque steer Also 0-60 is such a crude test of performance how often are you at a set of lights and have the oppurunity to do a run to 60 ?. I would be interested in its 40 - 60 and 50 - 70 performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 What about its 120-160 performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 At the end of the day, I wanted a RWD car and I've always loved the Supras looks. The fact that some of my mates can almost keep up with me in their 2-4 year old hot hatches doesn't really bother me. In the words of H: "Who needs to go fast? I'm too busy looking good."
