jim_supra Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Although it will be slighty annoying when you desperately want to show these cars up and you can't:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 It's all tied in to producing more economically running cars which are kinder to the environment and help reduce road tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Cruise and look cool instead....they need not know that you have a n/a....I have a TT but am not bothered about showing people up, I get more satisfaction by keeping em guessing a and not flying off at the lights that way they never know and show themselves up racing off + supes look miles better than all these hot hatches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I still dont understand who would want to spend alot of money on a 200bhp corsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I still dont understand who would want to spend alot of money on a 200bhp corsa. # they may think the same about us lot.....who would want to spend money on a 12yr old jap car with over 60,00 miles on it?? each to their own, most of these guys are happy with a new sporty motor, with zero milage!! most supra owners are enthusiasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly what my Dad said when I told him I was buying a Supra. Then I took him out in it with a heavy foot :d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I took him out in it with a heavy foot :d Thats the point though.....only an enthusiast would know they are great bomb proof cars These guys probably think the corsa is the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 These guys probably think the corsa is the same Believe me, after owning a Corsa you quickly realise they're nothing like as good as their marketing says and will die horribly when you try to drive it like a performance car regularly. Like my Corsa GSi did many moons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 They are still corsas, puntos etc so who cares - ultimately they will fall appart and depreciate rapidly anyway... best not to rise to the bait all the time, show them up only as an when it suits you, you have a supra - there is nothing to prove!

Like my Corsa GSi did many moons ago Not just the corsa - all the older performance vauxhalls are a bit fragile. My Calibra Turbo was a nightmare if I went a week without giving it some attention!
