Guest wantedsupra Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 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. wow put your dummy back in, i was only asking. Dont reply if you dont want.

Guest wantedsupra Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 i bet the calibra turbo is quick yes, but i carnt see it touching the supra, the torque of the supra will just pull away from the calibra no problem, on an open road it would bye-bye vauxhall, and if it was a bpu supra you were up against then i wouldint even bother, youd just look a fool. dont be to sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Why buy a car based on it's 0-60 and top end? Save up and buy a Veyron if you want something to impress your mates! These figures are meaningless anyway, all done in a factory somewhere away from real-life performance statistics! Buy a car because you want that car, because you like how it looks, how it feels to drive, because it's suitable for you and your situation, not because it's faster than your mate's. Keep the calibra, sounds like you're happy with it anyway! Just give it a bigger turbo or Nos or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi mate and welcome. Where abouts in Yorkshire are you from? If you're serious about getting one, I'll take you for a spin in mine if you want. Mine is a manual single though, so it's quite a bit different from what you're looking for. I'm based in York by the way. My house mate has an auto twin turbo and i'm sure he wouldn't mind taking you out in his. His is BPU'd (quite a bit faster than standard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have pumped alot of wasted money into that car to get it to that stage! What's the point?!

QSC Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I had a Calibra before upgrading to the Supra some years ago - I don't see how anyone can possibly compare the two...this car is just a wonderful driving experience all round.
