silvershark44 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 N/A manual about 6.5 maybe a little lower if your lucky (6.3-6.4) N/A Auto mid to high 6's TT Manual 4.9 (if you can change like the stig) TT Auto 5.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Auto TT should do 0-60 in less than 5.6 iirc. Infact in a stright line the auto is quicker than the manual isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 not sure but it feel pretty quick to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the driver ... im shite i think i get a 0-60 of about 12 secs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The thing you have to remember is 0-60 times on paper are often quite different to what is achievable on the road. The auto on paper is slower, 5.6 is the stated 0-60 and 4.9 is the manual However to get that 4.9 0-60 in the manual you have to shift like the stig, perfect every time. And most will struggle to do this The auto has been reported to be much faster than the manual because it shifts for you the same every time. and thus in a real world situation can be quicker. but this can all very. the bottom line is, there isnt a real difference in the supra between the auto and the manual. nothing that you would notice really on the road. i have a standard auto supra tt and its mentally quick. Because its an auto, its incredibly smooth too. For me, i prefer it to the manual now because its such a good auto box. The manual too is great, and i would have a manual every time in another car, as there arent many auto boxes as good as the soops. The thing is, if i had bought a manual in the first place i would no doubt love that. But just dont discredit the auto box as being rubbish or a cop out, it really is just as good just different.

MarkTheBoy Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have an auto TT and as quick as it is, actually getting it off the line is a pain in the arse. I've no doubt that the standard manual TT would beat a standard auto TT because you can dump the clutch at decent revs to get the monster moving. Autos you have to either power brake (which makes me nervous) or launch it from tickover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 but you could powerbreak if you wanted to hence how they can be quicker than 5.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Pretty sure 5.1 is the official 0-60 time for the auto. Not sure where 5.6 comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I remember having a few drag races in my manual against Terrible Turners' auto on an old airfield at Bovington. Although both ours were not standard (mine BPU, his BPU+) we were neck and neck from start to about 90 mph but only if i managed to change gear spot on everytime. A couple of times I hit the rev limit or over cooked the launch and so he beat me. So yes basically they are pretty much evens but you are less likely to cock it up in an auto. If i remember correctly when James rigged me up to his GPS system i got a 4.6sec 0-60mph ? James do you agree/remember ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 people are saying it's hard to get the book 0-60 4.9 but didn't two people hit 4.9 at bruntters in j tuner and they were stock or had just an air filter or something which most will no doesn't often give any power, i'd like to know my 0-60 on pod if they did that shame they don't record 0-60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 On my BPU, I can get 0-62 in 4.5ish quite consistently, quickest being 4.36 using apexi RSM (Reads off the speed pulse signal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Pretty sure 5.1 is the official 0-60 time for the auto. Not sure where 5.6 comes from. This was the figure quoted when the MKiv came on the market. 4.9 for manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTheBoy Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've heard you can get a 'launch control' for the autos. How does it work? Is it similar to dumping the clutch when holding it at revs in a manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjm.uk Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Ok... All this about the N/A's and TT's... What about the single Turbo Supra??? Any1 know about that? And whats the Turbo LAG like and/or how can you fix it bcuz i've heard its quite big on supra's - Specially the TT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Ok... All this about the N/A's and TT's... What about the single Turbo Supra??? Any1 know about that? And whats the Turbo LAG like and/or how can you fix it bcuz i've heard its quite big on supra's - Specially the TT's. You fix it by removing the turbo. No turbo lag!

lust2luv Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Mid to low 4's I would imagine. If you launch with high enough rev's, lag's not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 On my BPU, I can get 0-62 in 4.5ish quite consistently, quickest being 4.36 using apexi RSM (Reads off the speed pulse signal) So would an auto BPU be the same/quicker/slower than you?

adi2009 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 N/A manual about 6.5 maybe a little lower if your lucky (6.3-6.4) N/A Auto mid to high 6's TT Manual 4.9 (if you can change like the stig) TT Auto 5.6 NA manual is quoted at 6.6sec 0-60. So in reality the average driver probably would be able to get a 0-60 time in the high 6's to low 7's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 SimonB, I think the 5.1 0-60 time comes from the J-spec 6-speeds and the 4.9 0-60 time is the UK-spec 6-speeds. (Just going from memory on various websites and various 'official' quoted figures if they can all be believed). But the stock 0-60 times are usually irrelavent due to the fact that most Supras will be on different tyres and in various states of tune. Put a big enough engine and tyres sticky enough and you could see sub-3 seconds to 60 if you wish ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have go faster stripe on my NA it does 0-60 in approx 4.6 secs +/- 2 secs. Oh and why worry about 0-60, I would have thought for normal road driving you should be worrying about 50-70 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 0-60 for a single? Big question that as it depends on the size of the turbo you put on. The bigger the turbo, (generally) the slower it spools up and gets on boost. (But when it does it really takes off.) With a single, 0-60 isn't really where the car's aimed at. Look at 60-140 and it'll be a huge difference over stock. 0-60 in some cases could actually be slower in a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 My 0 to 60 is rubbish as I've got stiff suspension, hard sidewall tyres, a manual box, and no talent (well, I've hardly ever done hard standing starts). Probably between 5 and 6 seconds. It will however go from 70 to 100mph in just under 3 seconds -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 It will however go from 70 to 100mph in just under 3 seconds -Ian In what probably feels like 1.5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 So would an auto BPU be the same/quicker/slower than you? I think they will be similar - more things to go wrong in a manual - Missing a gear, changing gear too quick or too late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
