ADD Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hey chaps, lad up my road has had his Evo 8 modified quite heavily, got anti lag and all that which is kicking out 550bhp. He wants to go out and have a little play. I'm not feel very confident about it to be honest! what do you think the outcome will be? Obviously he will trash me pulling away but 60 plus I think I'll be ok. Cheers Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hard to say, but I'm sure you'll find out I would have thought he'd have the edge until at least 100, but it really depends on the conditions. Unless its perfectly dry, you're going to get spanked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I would say your probably right about lower speeds and it depends on how that 550 is setup on his car. Like the subarus they are rally cars and the majority of the power and speed is lower down. Logic would dictate that higher speeds the Supra would have the edge, but Evo's are damn fast cars. The only way to know is to have a go on a private track of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 he is going to kill you, being single you wont get back what you lost in acceleration for a long time if at all. IMO ps dont race for slips pps a high rolling start you might have a chance IE 50-70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 You might start pulling back a bit of ground at high speeds i.e. the kind of speed that if caught then you'll get banned for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO ps dont race for slips pps a high rolling start you might have a chance IE 50-70 The Bullseye s362 he's running is a great spooler and will see decent boost before a stock TT setup. You're best bet is from a rolling start on a dry day, though I doubt he'll give you that advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well since I have had both (well similar) 480 supra and 400 subaru STi, I have to agree... you will do well if you keep with the EVO up to 100. As said above the EVOs and Subarus are designed to be quick down low, fast acceleration out of corners. Once the supra gets going, its hard to beat, but low down I think you struggle a lot.

ADD Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Mmmmmmm think I may give this one a miss unless rolling start 60+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I had a 280BHP Impreza P1 before the Supra, my Supra is 421BHP and I am pretty sure the Impreza would have had me up to 80ish MPH from a standing start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If he wants a race from standing, get to a drag strip and watch him whoop you. If you want a rolling start, get on the motorway at 3am And make sure you start from 100mph+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 i had abit of a play with mates scooby, he kept up from the off until i got the power down in second. then left him dead it was running about 380bhp. but tbh you cant really compare the two as they are completely different. and we all know(him included) that an evo will kill a a supra of the line. he wouldnt ask for a race otherwise!

SupraDan24 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 My old Evo 4 was pretty close to standard and i slapped lamboyello's BPU from a standing start. Once we hit 80 i didnt stand a chance, they just dont have the legs. If his is tuned to that degree though, i wouldnt expect you'd start gaining until after 100mph.

Abz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I had a race with an Evo 8 in my stock TT, I went past him and we had a little play for a bit, as we were rolling from about 40mph - 80mph we were side by side pretty much and then the Supra started pulling away strong. We did a few runs and it was pretty much the same thing, we started side by side for a little bit & then I kept pulling away. I am unsure if he had mods of anything to his car, I'd imagine it was stock too, it have big brakes on his car. On a rolling start I think you could have him past 80mph!

Scooter Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 just do it! its not the winning its the taking part yeah that i'd be curious to see how it faired.............you are never going to fluff a gear change are you and the Evo is definitely more highly strung at this bhp so anything might happen if he's brutal with it!

Supra Kong Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I reckon it's down to the driver! If you manage to minimize wheel spin and hook it up nice, you could find yourself in a good place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz - You running an auto? If so then that will help quite a bit. When me & the chap I mentioned above you could see he was shifting gears whilst the auto box was blipping away! Each time he shifted he dropped a tiny bit, one thing I loved about the Supra autobox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Mine is an auto mate, I think I'll hook it up with him see how it goes. Sure I'll post it for sure! Fingers crossed Full boost 80mph and the S362 really does pull.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
