Luki Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi guys I try to figure out what acceleration has Supra MK4 NA? I found two different information. One says it's 6.8s to 100km/h and second says 8.0s to 100km/h. So witch info is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc92 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?96814-Supra-NA-topspeed-and-0-60 From what I've read, 6.5 seconds. If you want to go drag racing there are probably faster options for less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Don't forget real world acceleration figures are somewhat higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 6.7 seconds was the best I got on my NA 5spd to 60mph, recorded with a calibrated race-technology accelerometer. It was on a closed road but had good tarmac and was flat. I did many, many runs and this was the best time. Mostly it was in 7.5-8.5 without seriously abusing the clutch. This was with - 22degree air temps and a very dry road - Stock wheels and standard sized tyres. - Nearly new Falken tyres, a fairly soft compound - TRD LSD diff (This helps a LOT with the launch) The 6.7s time was done by massively riding the clutch with a 5k rpm launch. The clutch slipped through 1st and it stank afterwards, but it was the only way I could get it to do that time on the road. Day to day my wife's 320D BMW is the quicker car A to B. The NA Supra is really compromised with it's low torque (by modern standards) and is not so fun to drive in straight lines. Corners & braking are another matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One says it's 6.8s to 100km/h and second says 8.0s to 100km/h. So witch info is correct? Hard to say. North America magazines did get 0-60mph in 6.0 and 6.2 second when car was new and they were good drivers. Now cars are old and drivers are soft MikeJZA80 i think is a forum member and here is his video about his little bit of modified n/a sup YouTube video. Grain of salt and so on.

Corners & braking are another matter I think most people don't realise that the makers figures are achieved by test drivers that abuse the hell out of the car to get the best figures possible, and in no way reflect the real world figures that you get on today's roads. Like you i found my replacement for my Skyline, a Civic diesel way quicker point to point with the peak torque much more accessible being at lower RPM.

If I remember correctly, I cheated a bit on the second run and had a bit of a hill to help me Somewhere in the region of 6 seconds seems the best you can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Ive never done a 0-60 time in mine. But the GE with my tyre setup seems to pull stupidly well. Top speed is another story though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company diesel Insignia would murder it 0-60 and probably a lot more. But who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Anything made by Vauxhall would fall to bits before you got to point B in that A to B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you i found my replacement for my Skyline, a Civic diesel way quicker point to point with the peak torque much more accessible being at lower RPM. I also forget to mention the car had an uprated clutch as well... It may not have helped the times too much but probably it's the reason it still has the same clutch today Fully agree with you. I also struggled to get below a 5.5s time on either my TT 6spd or single 6spd on road tarmac. I know better times have been proved in the right conditions and sometimes race track tarmac or sticky tires, but it's hard to get the times the manufacturers or magazines claim in the real world. That's the same for all cars, well, unless you have 4wd and/or modern traction control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 My NA hooks up pretty well with the following: Cusco 1.5 way diff 4.27 ring gear from an SC300 Spec stage 3+ clutch Pilot sport 4's in (I think) 285/30/18 W58 gearbox Meister R GT1 suspension The difference to how it was before I added all that stuff is night and day. Previous set up was stock everything on 255/30/18 rear tyres and Bilstein/Eibach suspension. Anyone know if there are any decent android apps for timing it?

An NA Supra is about looking and feeling good at the wheel, not heart stopping acceleration. It's certainly no slouch and is fun to drive but don't go picking fights!
