jim Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 There are better cars out there for the money that will go like stink,cheaper to repair,cheaper to insure,and certainly cheaper on fuel....MR2 Turbos,Glanzas etc. That's exactly it imo - there are cheaper cars that will go faster, but there are no cheaper cars that look better. If it's speed you want, buy a tt (or go down whatever of the conversion routes that takes your fancy), but if you just want to buy the best looking car (which also happens to be hugely reliable, although granted a little thirsty) for the cheapest price tag possible then buy an n/a. An n/a is not in the same league in terms of power/speed as a tt but it's no slouch either and has enough to make it very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah tt would be good. Budget won't go that far just now as it's my 2nd motor. decent na I could get for 3k where a tt about 6ish. prices are based on searching on line and asking a member on this forum. If only you had a club member who lived close by to take you out for a spin in a TT to help you make up your mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 90% of N-A owners aventually buy a TT, you have been warned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I have had my na for three years now, and it's plenty fast enough to have fun in. Plus use it every day and not once has it let me down it's so reliable and great to drive plus gets load of attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 As na is similar in performance to a Clio 172, so plenty enough to have fun especially with the added aspect of rwd. If you go NA try and get a manual with abs and a LSD, some have neither, few have both. With these the Supra will behave like a tt manual just without the outright speed. You can still do a doughnut, or nice T junction slide and it will be ever so slightly less understeery and slightly more nimble when chucking it about.

Graham1984 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I've never seen the official 0-60 stats for an NA, but it is not in the low 6s, probably around the early-mid 7s. Will top out at over 140mph though I would have thought. I had an indicated 155 out of mine the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But undecided yet if it should be a na or a tt. Need to take into consideration the budget I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 About the same as my astra turbo which didn't seem that bad at the time. Still enough power to get the back end out, what more do you want from a NA As na is similar in performance to a Clio 172, so plenty enough to have fun especially with the added aspect of rwd.

You can still do a doughnut, or nice T junction slide and it will be ever so slightly less understeery and slightly more nimble when chucking it about. Isn't difficult to get the back out on the NA, I hear people saying they can't even do it on a TT, that's because you aren't trying I was trying to see if I could drift it around in a small circle at the wet pod a couple of years ago but unless you are carrying speed it seems quick difficult.

Scott-tt Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ive got an na and I love it my FTO was faster but the supras look awesome. I dont know any girls that get wet over vectras. I guarantee if you get one your mate will want one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 And if it's getting the back end out your after, I'm sure an N/A or TT will be just fine in the wet...
