TubbyTwo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Dont waste your time with Paul "Spam pistonheads" Brown, if you want a Supra for yourself, straight to JM Imports or Whifbitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I don't think anybody really uses 0-60 as a gauge for anything anymore, seems to be a bit of a useless measurement. This… It made me laugh the other day when I was on track, I had a guy come up to me and ask me about the car what’s been done power blah blah blah and then he said what is the 0-60... I couldn’t tell him as I really don’t know... I ended up saying “very quick”... I then demonstrated that by out dragging a supercharged Ariel Atom down the pit straight (not quite the same thing but he got the idea).

Did it have a Union Jack on the front, full aero kit and the guy driving, a skull on his bash hat? He normally does the circuits up here and always seems paranoid in case anybody has a quicker motor?

Jord Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Is this Jurgen chap a good dealer to visit if a Jap import is on the cards then? Obviously, if no-one from here is selling when I'm buying! One of the best. You'd struggle to find a cleaner car from anyone else. Following JM Imports on Facebook might as well be porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I heard they didn't bother timing the 0-60 on an NA as it took too long... My first NA bash since upgrading, I feel like I'm part of the club now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 When I had my N/A me and a mate timed it (ok so not the most accurate thing) this bear in mind was on terribly bumpy Tarmac with some very well worn Pirelli's and it was around the 7 second mark, so given some decent tyres and a better road, I reckon a 6.8 or something around that sort of time is quite achievable.
