Guest GrantyBoy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Does any here drive a T78 (or similar big power single) turbo Supra as a daily drive or is that a bit extreme for the daily commute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GrantyBoy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 so a big power, say 500+ could be used as a daily driver without too much hastle in daily traffic. All you would have to factor in would be the extra maintanence costs or running a higher state of tuned engine, plus the old Optimax bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Getting a clutch that's capable of holding the power and still not tireing in traffic is the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you would have to factor in would be the extra maintanence costs or running a higher state of tuned engine, plus the old Optimax bills Mines only 300 odd at the wheels but on a run its very good on petrol , did York to Brighton after TOTB3 on one tank and that was towing a trailer from Terry S' house near watford !!!!

Matt Harwood Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Daily driving isn't a problem. All the time the car is off boost, it drives like stock. High boost and wet weather can be a little entertaining though! I had been driving Terry's car for a few days, commuting to and from work. IMHO, his car drives far better than any stock Supra I've ever driven. Very tractable, predictable and near perfect linea power delivery.
