chazuk Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Why on earth does anyone need 5,6,700 + hp cars on the rd ? To keep with the times look at when the supra was released TT power was allot back in those days now,new mercs ,bmw m5, audi rs6 are all above 500hp you need some power to pull away from the business man with his suit on a coat hanger in the rear in his stock car. It happened to me when I was bpu I felt like a prat having a 3inch exhaust making all the noise and no go getting pushed down the road by a stock silent audi.

The thrill, nothing comes close to being pushed back in your seat in a high powered car, blowing away the odd supercar is an added bonus.

marc_p Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Why on earth does anyone need 5,6,700 + hp cars on the rd ? One of my freinds in the states has an 850rwhp Supe and one ride in that sold me(current single setup should see me at 650hp, then to 700hp once cams, etc are in), the rush is just unreal, you don't need to have to go 200mph, foot down at 50mph has your heart racing.

You do soon get the bhp bug though! so always spec the car a tad higher so you can up it later on with few more added tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, under 70mph a much smaller, faster Spooling single will give you the performance more of the time. I would love to drive a 6 speed single with UK diff, 264 cams and a log manifold with a GTX3076R turbo should max out at just over 500hp with a huge powerband.

It's hard to explain but it's not the performance figures I go after it's that 'punch', that 'holy poop we've hit warpdrive' moment as the larger single comes in hard. I know that my Supra is more of a straightliner and I'm not trying to make it optimum at handling, I just want that big open road rush . Don't get me wrong, I'd love a more track focused set-up aswell but at this point in time I just want power . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I know what you mean, it's similar to the difference between stock and BPU. But that sensation is felt best in an auto car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If they do mostly track driving then a tt auto over a manual na is the wrong car. Well im not sure about you, But normally at tracks they have straights and I know what car would make it there quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autos aren't as suited for track. People get all upset when people say things like this as they feel its offensive to what they own, simple fact.

People get all upset when people say things like this as they feel its offensive to what they own, simple fact. To be honest I love my tt auto for the road but I'd much prefer a manual for a track day. I'd like to try the auto on track in manual mode but it doesn't make me want to take it on the track because its an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get all upset when people say things like this as they feel its offensive to what they own, simple fact. From an auto owner, the manual is definitely suited more to track even if you know how to really use the autobox, but against a manual NA (as referred to earlier) the auto TT would be faster (not necessarily suited though) even more so if it was BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
