Guest wantedsupra Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Im looking at buying a turbo rather than an N/A. Firstly, what is the difference in 0-60 and top speeds between the two? What should i pay for a good one (turbo)? Do i choose manual over Auto? your help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 7-10k for a manual TT. About a second difference in the 0-60. Low 5's I think for the TT. Autobox is far more common and is very good. Obviously, whatever you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-B Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 do a search most of these questions have been asked plenty of times. Have you ever driven a rwd car before? if not then the tt is gonna be a bit of a handful till you get used to it. However both the n/a and the turbo can catch you out when you least expect it. In my opinion (bias, never drove a auto) would say go for the manual. where about in yorkshire you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autobox is far more common and is very good. Obviously, whatever you prefer. oh, i was under the impression that the n/a's were 0-60 in 6.5 and the turbos in the late 4's. Hmmm. What about top speed? thank you for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about top speed? thank you for the reply Very high. The manual has the legs over the auto. Auto is 4 speed. 165-175 at a guess. Not far off though. Some single cars are getting 200+. The car is heavy. Hence slightly slower 0-60. If you get one, never skimp on tyres. RWD is nothing to mess with. A lot of people will get the n/a then move on. However I am always of the opinion that the car will only be as fast as your foot tells it to be. Keep everything smooth and you shouldn't get too many surprises.

Chewie Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The auto can give a few surprises when it drops down a gear on corners. You just have to be prepared for it if you're wellying it around the country. Otherwise I'm quite happy and have had mine for last 6 years without any problems.

Guest wantedsupra Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 i just hope that they are as quick as i first though. at the moment they dont seem to be. i was hoping for 180mph and 0-60 in the 4's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place you can dream of hitting 180mph will be on a very large track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your @rse off your couch and behind the wheel of one and find out for yourself. I can assure you, you will be anything but disappointed. Fair enough they are getting on a bit but they still out-perform 9/10* cars on the road. *Possible exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wantedsupra Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 150 isn't fast enough? well i have hit just shy of 170mph in my calibra turbo. I had to use gps as it was completely of the clock. obviously getting to them speeds, you need the right area etc. Im more interested in acceleration really. My calibra is getting from 0-60 in 5.1 and has been dynoed at 300bhp. how quick are supra tt's to 100mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Sounds like another Calibra owner coming on here to talk about how well their car performs.Whoop de do. You obviously dont want an NA if you're interested in low 0-60 and top end speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome to a no-obligation drive in mine mate - its a UK spec TT thats going on the market on Monday - it will give you a good idea of what a well fettled car feels like!

Stevie72 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well looks as though another Chav Supra owner then!!!!!!! Why do people ask such stupid questions - do a simple search and find out the times yourself C&D said 0-60 in 4.6 and the Toyota Book says 0-60 in 4.9 and 155 restricted, with possible 180mph delimited. In other words it will rape a Calibre and be a move upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I had a cali turbo before the supra (as quite a lot of people on here did). I loved my old cali's but as people say they are completely different cars and a fantastic logical move. 2ltr turbo vs 3.0 twin turbo... or you could buy yourself a nice single turbo Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 have a drive in one first before getting disappointed with the figures (which would be better than the calibra anyway...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
