Scott Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yeh i knew it was around there but still, that supra was immense. On the outside, it was a black one, looked standard apart from the exhaust system, wheels and how much it was lowered by. The thing was sat on the bloody floor! It was also a UK spec TT... Sorry i edited, its as stated 186. I edited coz i realised my in head calculation was a little out. Couldn't work it out exactly without google lol.

SilverSoop Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I imagine it was a Euro spec wasn't it? I can't remember now, I saw it ages ago. It could of been gaz but it had the bonnet scoop like the UK spec TT 's do and also was a single turbo... The supra popped alot of flames out the exhaust in the dvd aswell :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat behind one of the guys on here with a pretty stock engine other than the usual BPU kit and it was spitting flames every time he let off the throttle lol.

Yeh could do scotster, i remember sitting behind suprash once and his car popped out flames... Even still though, this supra just left the cossie behind (the camera was on board the cossie) It just got so far ahead and the acceleration was unbelievable! The only thing you saw, were the flames coming out every so often...thats when i thought ahh, thats the supra then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4packet Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi all, has anyone watched the getaway in stockholm vid with the Black Supra and the red escort cossie?? I watched it last night and it was good!! The supra kicked arse lol! :d It was supposed to be an actual video but because the police got so involved, they couldnt. Couldnt believe the speed though, i think the supra hit 300 kmh - 180 mph, on a public motorway! insane!! Wow, where have you been ol boy?!? That vid must be 8 years old! You've been able to pick it up at the counter in Halfords for long enough. What makes you think its single? Pretty sure it was BPU at the time although have an idea the car is single now(?). It competed in the Gumball Rally more recently also. Don’t recall it kicking that much @ss until the straight where the Cosworth would have hit the redline at about 160mph. Don't see the big deal with the speed on that motorway. IT was night and they had already checked the route beforehand. Some of the other stuff is probably a little more dangerous....

Yeh i know, ive had that vid for a while but my mate borrowed for a year plus. Just got it back yesterday... It could of been BPU, but the single turbo engine note is alot different compared to the TT engine note... They may have planned the route beforehand, but on the straights, it just pulled like a train and then it was gone up the road...that is... when it wasnt going sideways Edit: It also has the UK bonnet scoop wich would suggest its a single, but could of been added to the supe...

Scott Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Pretty sure i remember the vid from years ago now that i think of it. Was the cam on the side of the cosworth? On the arch or something like that? I know there are a few cams all over it but the one i remember seeing a lot of footage from was on the drivers side. I do remember the (if its the same video) supra pulling on the cosworth as soon as the power was down but the escort was pretty well tuned so it kept up well.

SilverSoop Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Huh? What makes you say that? Well...sorry if i sound stupid but arent the UK spec supra's, single turbo's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well...sorry if i sound stupid but arent the UK spec supra's, single turbo's?? Nope - they are twins mate. It's the same engine as the J Spec with some small differences to cams, turbos etc. FAQ here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59334 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 It was a single turbo... I seem to recall we did have the owner post on here a long time back. IIRC it wasn't him driving but he loaned the car to them for the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
