Gazboy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I dont know about that Toyota only got 225bhp out of a straight six. Now give it to TVR and your laughing they got 808bhp out of a 7.7l V12 thats pretty good bph per liter. ...and the longest time/miles that thing has gone without yet another full stripdown is.... I don't see how they got 800bhp from 7.7 litres when they can't even get 350bhp from 4 litres, and they still go pop. The yanks ain't into specific output- they have no need- petrol is cheap, servicing is fuck all (major services for a LS6 is every 100k- compared to every 6k for the TVR, or 18k for a 911C2). Change the oil & filter every ten k, congrates your car has been serviced for $25. Add to the mix yankee litigation claims and only a fool would sell a 120bhp/litre car to the Americans.

lust2luv Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The sexiest shape Viper GTS ('97-) had 'only' 378HP, 0-60 in 5.3, 13.7 quarter @ 108mph. Pretty comparable to a stock / BPU TT. The latest model is a different matter altogether with 500HP and 500 torques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fever Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I do, don't take it wrong, I'm glad every time a Supra whups another car especially when it's something special (can't wait for 'Veyron' to appear in the chronicles! ), but I wish people wouldn't put so much emphasis on the car's performance, most of it is driver related. Fair point and I definitely agree with what your saying! Hmmm Veyron...lol...I guess you'd have to have a go just to see!! Although some road going Supras have been taken sub 2 seconds on 0-60 time! So it wouldn't be impossible to shock the driver of one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 cant beat the look of a viper.dont like the red ones with pull off roof.seen one at well lane rolling road.did not like it much.silver ones or that dark anthacite type colour look great.there was a twin turbo viper on ebay a while ago. have a look at this supra launching http://video.xspsi.com/video/6cd827fc-c343-404c-a9ec-984d00e69679.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
