carl0s Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 the man at the takeaway said: "10 grand? Bit much innit? Another grand could've got a Type-R, innit." so then I realised conversation was futile. the scally at the newsagent said: "what've you had out of it?" now wtf am I supposed to say to that? I actually said "ummm what top speed? well it's eletronically limited to 155. But it's very quick". What a waste of breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 All you say is it's, as quick, no quicker than the type-r's but it's more comfortable, stable, and has better build quality. It's a GT car not in the same class as a "hot hatch" Maximum possible speed 196mph. (with some small mods). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 well since he didn't even say *which* Type-R he meant I didn't really know. Civic Type-R is almost 200bhp and something like 6.5sec on the 0-60 dash isn't it? I-TR can't be much better, can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was even an accord type-R with supercharger at pod yesterday. still putting lower times than most of the supras. Only thing Honda get close with is the NSX.

Supragal Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 MUCH faster than the type r's lol inform them of the original cost of the cars then they understand the second hand value better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I'll have the GT feel of the Supra over the stripped out racer feel of any model Type-R anyday. Speed and comfort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimbo Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 All i ever get asked is: "How much? 12grand!! should've got an M3!" "0-60 in under 5...if you can keep it on the road!!" "Over 170 top-end...kiss your liscence goodbye!" "MPG?? That's just daft!" "Wot insurance group...F@kin' hell" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads ask how fast it goes and my answer is always the same. Most all Turbo supes can get top speed.. they just run out of gears. Some get there faster than others!
