Lee Burley Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 No launch control so I had to sit at idle on the line.... ET - 12.69 60ft - 2.559 (just shows setting off from idle is not ideal!!) 1/4 mile - 122.4 Big single with DCT gearbox and hilarious amounts of wheelspin :-) Best run of the day was against the "HARTY" car, he beat me by a few car lengths, but it really came down to who dealt with the wheelspin better - I guess he did!

Sheefa Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 What's worrying is a stock Audi RS3 will do a repetitive 1/4 stint in 12.2 seconds. A little more with that headwind. Alas big BHP is dying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas big BHP is dying... Yet when I roll raced one ( Private Road in Brentford ) I was quicker, must be in the launch. Although we aren't really comparing apples to apples, I have been saying that in the last few years the Germans have majorly stepped their game up, and although there is a cult status around a supra they are not that quick compared to what is being produced now. But compare money vs performance they are still a very quick car for the money, Johnny getting all happy and woop woop because the GTR is quicker which is great but you cant buy a reasonable GTR for less the £35k ish, a new RS3 is £40k ish, a BPU auto supra is £12k. plus there is 15years of advancements in the GTR and 20 years in the Audi.

The M235i was epic. The RS3 quite stale and lacked driver engagement compared to BMW and supra. BUT it would crack 0-60 in under 3 secs more often than not which is staggering. Plus a plush cabin and plenty of comfort. No brainer if you can afford it in contrast to a 20 year old car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree depending on who you are and if it was your only car, me personally I want something that is engaging and looks a little special. I think like most the alternatives in this thread they aren't lookers as such, the GTR for me is a tool for going fast but its not a great looking car, and from what you said about the RS3 a great tool but from a distance looks like an A3.

Scooter Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 They are all exciting cars and all have their merits. Perhaps if you can afford it a newer car is a no brainer but I think I'd still go for something quick (not the quickest) but used and niche. Some Supra owners are almost obsessed with performance and them being faster than most things and are almost disappointed as they inevitably have slipped down the ranks. I will say though that regardless of future (ICE at least) advances a bpu Supra will never be considered slow. Even now a regular white goods car owner would be absolutely shocked by it's performance, Nissan with the GTR have nailed the 4wd traction and taken the huge power thing and modding to another level, and the latest 4wd hot hatches (A45 as well as the above mentioned) are ridiculous too, but the Supra is as much fun as it ever was.

bignum Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thats the rub, ok these newer breed 4x4 rockets are unbeatable off the line and if thats what floats peoples boat then great, i`d say they`re far from exciting, lets face it your gran could put the thing into launch mode and match your 0-60 time so wheres the reward in that. So as a quick daily driver some of these cars do tick the boxes, as a weekend driving pleasure tool hmm i just don`t get it.Also as you may have noticed i`m not into 0-60, 1/4 mile etc at all.
