Miguel Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 So your saying that the 237MPH claimed by this car is true. Just to put into balance Jun just about scraped 249.292 With a shit load more power gearing, aero and money ( coz wind does matter ). 200+ is Very achiveable Just not as simple as made out and very rarely proven with the correct equipment. If someone on this BBS has gone over 200+ with proof ( not worked out on a calculator) Then hats of to them. But i cant see it being very many.

Gazboy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 and................I have a road test somewhere done in the states with proper equipment showing the std car could do 182mph unrestricted. Toyota claimed 185mph unlimited, bit optimistic by them or was that a big downhill. That car had HKS GT25/30 sequential turbo's though. It's not massively hard to work out- max power at which revs in top gear with the final drive and tyre circumfrence.... iirc it's 167mph. Btw, fastest I've gone is a laser (two laser beams 2m apart) verified 188mph. I was in a Porsche though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 How may members on here have hit 237??? A true 237? Gamer did at Ace cafe on Tues... (well it sounded like he did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Someone will believe it and buy it LOL. Punching a hole in air to get to 200+ is going to take more than that car has got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 A very well constructed eBay auction doesn't mean the car is equally as well constructed IMO. It reads well, the chap clearly knows how to sell things, but would a car like this be so unknown within the Supra world until it gets sold?

Miguel Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 How did they get 1250 BHP from 1000cc injectors ???? never mind the Turbo or cams Edited , Never mind just squinted and see the dyno @ around 900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Mig, I have no idea if this particular car could do 237 or not, dont know its rev limit, therefore it impossible to say. Jun were unhappy that their car didnt go right on the top end run on the salt flats, they expected well up the 250's at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'd say it's possible, however unlikely. At least the internals were built. I like this line: "I am a profesional motorcycle racer (3rd in Europe and many times Polish Champion) = I take care of my machines better than of my wife" At least his priorities are straight, I'd say he can be trusted. *waits for stuff thrown by the girls* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 No way will it pull that top speed, you only have to work out the drag figures and the power to pull it, and look at the spec you'd need. Without even looking at the link I could smell Yank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hmmm ....True = GPS in my book but i could be wrong;) Tommy Bahn Managed 201mph On a massive spec a couple of months back And he had a major problem with wind. His spec was also very large indeed 3.4 , Gt47 yadda yadda So 237 on this spec I have a hard time swallowing never mind a stock car with raised limmit Where are all these 200+ boys hidding then Serves him right for eating beans before the test run...

Syed Shah Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sorry to ruin it for all you who LOVE to spend your lives calling BS on the 'net, but that car is very well known and well built and very fast. Yes PLEASE do the maths on the drag/aero (I have) and then tell me a Supra that powerful won't do 230+mph. Oh, and as for Tommy Bahn - that 201mph was in the STANDING MILE! You think it was topped out? LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Come on CW, don't be so quit to slag us Americans off. We're not all bad. Ok, I'll make an exception for you Especially as you live in a decent country now I do actually have some very good US friends, but they took a hell of a lot of training and rehabilitating!

higgs Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 i dont see why the car cant do that top end if it is as powerful as they say it is. crd supra has done 200mph at ten of the best in just over 1.5 miles and that has the same sort of power. imagine what crd could pull on a motaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Apart from Jun, why has no-one done it? Why weren't all these tuning firms invited to Nardo last year by Continental tyres like RUF, Gamballa, 9FF, Konigsegg etc... 9FF hit 248mph at Nardo in a tuned Porsche GT2. Where were HKS? Top Secret? Amuse? TRD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The aero effects over about 180 are amazing, to go 210 from 200 takes a huge power leap, 200 to 240 is MEGA. If it REALLY had that much power it would be breaking things left right and centre anyway. Proper independent engine dyno figures please...
