Supra_Nish Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/images/60595-1.jpg Controversial looks, but good power, impressive list of extras - oh and very cheap to buy now. Does anyone have any experience of them? I'm really keen on a test drive and a proper look at one but they're so rare, none near where I live for sale.

I do think its good value though, alot of car for the money from what i can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Nice looking machine...supposed to be one of the best handlers out there. I did embarass a German one with a Swiss Driver in Park Lane (mind you mine is a BPU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt its a quick car, but will it feel sluggish with no turbos shoving it along? I know its going to be a real b!tch when I get taken by a supe, knowing my luck it will be mine!

imi Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Where have you been Nish....been a while... There arent many cars out there that can compete with the Sup and certainly not many if any German cars in the same price bracket. Mind you...its got a good engine (I think its the 321 bhp version as supposed to the E46 Engine)....on Top Gear I remember Me Needle singing its praises.

Supra_Nish Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Haven't been making the meets, changed jobs, on the other side of london so usually too late to get back in time mate. The supe really will mess us all up, your right in that performance wise theres not much out there. Options considered so far: Lotus Exige S2 BMW Z4 (?) TVR - Tuscan S, T350 BMW M3 Porsche something or another I really got no idea! For one reason or another they all keep getting discounted, closest yet is the exige. Immense fun. Theres something about the Z3M which intrigues me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hey Nish. 1) Why do you want to get shot of the SUP? 2) I'm probably going to change cars in the next 2-3 yrs in which case the only car that I believe can better the SUP is a 911 Turbo (If you can afford one) or a Lambo. The SUP is a great performer, looks great both inside and outside....really fresh even for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like a change, the supe is awesome, but I like to try new things. 911 Turbos are out of range, buying another property in the next month or two so budget is a max of 25k for now. Lambo - One day, unfortunately not this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 No doubt its a quick car, but will it feel sluggish with no turbos shoving it along? The instant throttle response should make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Nish Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 The instant throttle response should make up for it. A very valid point. A quick look into possible mods then off for a test drive I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its going to be a real b!tch when I get taken by a supe, knowing my luck it will be mine! I have driven the M3, and the M5 and yes they have lovely instanto power, but then nothing else - I suppose you just get used to the kick in the pants from the boost coming in, and these just dont have it, which is a little bit of a shame really.
