Aerotop Dave Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Never liked the SXOC boys - no where near as welcoming as this board. On my very first thread I got flamed on the first reply, and I only asked how much my car was worth! Ho hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 is that the only sx forum? ive done a few searches for some tech info but not a lot comes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 sx boy - yeah there does seem a certain amount of bitchyness for some reason. The Scottish bunch are great though, we have a great club spirit and events are always fun Dan - there's loads of technical knowledge on the S13 and S14, if you can't find answers in a search just ask away and someone will answer quickly Cheers for the input guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 thanks thunder, when i get one i will join up:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 More support needed guys............. the zed forum boys are ganging up on me spouting shite about how the 300ZX is vastly superior to the Supra TT. Misinformed quotes like this being posted really get me going: "I think the Supra looks crap, boring and very boy racer. The interiror is also the most tacky I have seen in a Japanese "super" car. They dont do everything better. They sound just as bad as they look. You can put another exhaust on but then it just sounds boring and loud, but that is my subjective view." "The V6 will always produce more torque that a straight 6." It's free to post on SXOC btw so jump in and defend the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I have replied again, but there is no point in getting into a my car is better than yours arguement with someone like that. They will NEVER see your way. Even though the Supra is better (I can say it now we are back on our home soil:D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Oh FFS, this started on the 300 board with someone telling me that their Z puts out 340ft/lbs at 390Hp and Supe could only dream of such torque. So I simply stated that a stock UK Supe puts out 326ft/lbs so go away and try again. Then it all got very silly:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 rofl. These guys certainly have some strange ideas! Where on earth do they get the notion from that a zed is way more torquey than a Supra? P.S. The Supra is much better than the zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 ask them to do a head to head at Santa Pod, most of them havent even seen a 13 second 1/4 mile. Also a good point to bring up Trax where all the 300s were destroyed by the mkivs, we ran rings round them on every lap, they were quite frankly a huge disappointment to all of us.

BigRoy Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Mmmmm! Good point JB, forgot about Trax. So anyone up for a ZX vs Poop 1/4 mile event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Trax will stick in my mind forever, I went for a passing move on the straight and the 300 guy didnt see me there, he only realised there was a problem when he heard my car running on the rumble strips. We really did expect the 300s to keep up but I dont think there was a single one there that put in a good showing. 1/4 mile shootout against the 300s would be a laugh, problem is they tend not to go to track days or 1/4 mile events from what I have seen, not sure why.

BigRoy Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Actually I reckon they would be up for it. I know they did organise something against the GTO's I'll enquire in my own diplomatic way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I was at Trax too...started at the back of the second pack and merrily made my way past about 8 300's over the few mins were were out there....I was out breaking them with j-specs and murdering them down the straights (pre-decat). Considering what else was about when it was launched the 300 was fantastic. But it was out done 3 years later. no doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Apparently there was a Supra going the wrong way round the track and thats why you beat them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 An older MKIII(white TT) was harrassing me and then spun out...maybe the 300's passed him facing the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
