NathWraith Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi guys, Just recently got my NA auto supra which I am over the moon with. So as you do I took my best mate out in it to show it off. Now being abit of a 'hooner' himself, he seems to think he ST is quicker. Now admittly I showed him the supra in fully auto mode with overdrive which doesn't use the full potential of the engine but hey I was takin it easy! Just FYI he has an 05 prefacelift fiesta st no mods so 143bhp and 7.9s to 60. Now I can't find any concrete data on NA 0-60 and top speed etc but surely a fiesta is nowhwere near as quick?! I'm not going to race him but I just want to shut him up so give me some help please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Depending on how you launch the car, and how good you are at launching it, you should have him from the off. Mid 7s are acceptable in an N/A when going for it, he will find hitting 60 in 7.9 very difficult due to traction issues (being FWD). The cars with good drivers, the N/A would have him at every point. It lies in your hands though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 "Top end" is towards the higher end of the speed a car can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathWraith Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 im glad someone understands what top end means I understand what top end means, before you edited your post it read 'he will do you you at first but then you will have no chance top end' but you meant he, doesn't matter I understand now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 If your driving at speed remember weight is against you give urself a run up as these cars a heavy with no turbo, I had a Jag yesterday and when I over took it put its foot down, due to having a slight run up I was well away giving it no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
