gaz1 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 well at nearly 2 ton you should be looking at about 450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I remember Mr Whiffin claiming that 360's might as well be using their reverse gear, when he hit boost...but that was on a PHR stage 3 (or something)...about 600bhp a couple of years ago.

merckx Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 well at nearly 2 ton you should be looking at about 450 2 ton? The Ferrari 360 has 400 BHP, but not so much torque 275 lbf·ft A BPU Supra might be enough, not too sure. You would definately have more torque.

Tricky-Ricky Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 LOL this guy must be having a right chuckle:d sorry! yeah just give him a brake test! might be able to buy yourself a Supra from your insurance claim! if hes going to sit 6" off your bumper what does he expect;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Healthy BPU 1.2 bar should see him off I would have thought, you can achieve that for very little £ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Had a play with one of these on the M4 last year (a good 15 miles or so of spirited driving!). We were equally matched to about 130, then I would start catching, on each occasion I wasn't able to pass him until 155 or so. Thats with 1.2 bar and over 350rwhp.

Ark Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Actually, why change cars at all? Scoobs can be done up to silly speeds if the willpower (read: £££) is there. Just check the last TOTB results for ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check the last TOTB results for ideas. i did think about this and its mega bucks to get over 350 bhp (reliable) plus iv'e always wanted a supra and the insurance has convinced me for certain!

afennell Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 My supra is up for sale, that should be a bit more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 yeah get a supe and spend equal amounts of cash on it tuning it up as you would on the subaru, the supra would return much more gains for the same £ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 The 360 hits the ton in 9 seconds flat from a standstill, it's got 292bhp/ton so you need to equal that just to keep up (stock is about 210bhp/ton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 get some NOS ,. he wont catch you then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Performance 0-60 mph: 4.3 s 0-100 mph: 9.8 s 0-1/4 mile : 12.6 s @ 114 mph Top speed : 191 mph A BPU Supra I'm sure would have quite a bit more torque than the Ferrari . Acceleration from say 60 up might be surprisingly even. Need a single to beat it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
