imi Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Indeed I'm very pleased with the result. 997 C4S with turbo wheels and GT3 kit - 3.8l 355bhp. Not as fast as the Supra but just as much fun. I'll get another Supra next year and then start again whats it like to drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 whats it like to drive? Very nice. It accelerates hard all the way through the range, although you can feel the powerband shift slighty at about the same point the Supra did (I haven't looked down yet to see what RPM it's at). I had it in a 4 wheel drift around a roundabout the first day I had it, and it handled it really well. The cornering and braking is phenomenal. It could do with a turbo or some more NA power but otherwise I have no complaints. It's difficult to drive slowly though which is where the Supra had the advantage. From 1-2k rpm, you have to rev it a bit or it stalls. No pulling away using engine speed. It needs definite revs to get moving (Not so cool looking in front of a crowd when you stall ).

Just to say that the Boxster S has the same issue... needs revs to pull away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 will they tell u what breaker it goes to? Doubt it unless I specifically ask but I'm trying to stay away from the situation. A little bird told me the garage was stripping parts (effectively stealing from the insurance company) so I'm keen to keep my distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
