mr320 is some kind of EVO right? then surely a stock TT will be just as quick as the EVO (assuming 320 stands for 320BHP). Unless of course your mate had had work done on his to make it quicker.

 

EDIT: Just checked parkers, the difference between a TT and the EVO 8 MR FQ 320 shouldn't be much but he will have greater off the mark power due to 4WD. I'm no expert but I'm guessing the supra would even things out around 100mph plus.

 

This is ofcourse you are on about the EVO 8 :p

If it's an Evo then it'll feel fast off the line so the Supra won't be as quick from a stand still (due to lack of AWD) but stick with the Supra!

Agreed, plus the Supra looks 1000X better than the "hotted up saloon" style of EVOs and imprezas. Far more classy :D

I went up against a FQ320 while bumping into him on my way home at night, we done about 3/4 pulls on rolling starts. This ranged from 40mph up to 90mph & from the start we both we side by side & then the Supra started pulling away, at one point gaining 2 car lengths. I was in my TT Auto which was running 352 bhp, not even full BPU, just cats taken out.

Evos are alot higher maintenance than a Supra. A BPU would leave an Evo MR320 from a rolling start or anywhere after a launch. Another thing is if your friend is launching his new pride & joy tell him to start looking into buying a new clutch because with awd it will spit out the clutch after afew launches.

Yeah our evo 7 has about 320 bhp & side by side when the second turbo starts singing the supra walks away :)

Evo won't touch the Supra in most aspects. I can drive the Evo point to point quicker, but that's because I air on the side of caution with the sup and the evo has all manor of witchcraft keeping you in check. Straight line speed the supra will be much faster. Even stock once you hit triple figures you will stride away.

 

All those cars are boring to me, uninspiring to drive. It's different horses for different courses though.

Exactly that, have a drive in both of the cars and you'll see why a TT is so much more exciting - you won't get bored, and IF you do there's always single turbo :)

just been looking at evo's and yous are right the amount of people talking about how they break down and hardly on the road! mind made up . on the hunt :)

 

They aren't that bad. The clutch on them is a week point (so would most awd cars), alot of people complain about gearbox trouble but they are a little crunchy when cold. The evo 7 & 8 260 5 speed box is best, the 6 speed box is a little chocolate like. But over all supra is alot better & more reliable.
