juanchan Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Welcome to the club. As Michael said, running a TT or an NA will typically set you back a similar amount, unless you run into turbo-related issues A Supra is a fat waster of a car - mine was over 1600kg when I had it on a weighbridge (it is a UK car though, so a J-spec should be lighter, but not massively), so 0-60 is never going to be a huge strong point, especially with new hot hatches claiming similar 0-60 times as the NA. Hell, a diesel Astra pulled about a car length on me recently from a standing start! If you think there's even a chance you may get the itch for more power, just get a TT and respect it for the first few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not inspiring me to get a NA!!! I cant afford a TT though. Problems problems problems! Hi James. What's your budget mate? TT's can be bought for very reasonable sums now. Sub £6k is pretty normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
