RedM Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 He's right. The GTO can do 60' in an nth of a second but then you'll take it as he'll have to wait for an AA/RAC to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 go find out it weighs a load more than the n/a supra so I shoudlnt think it would be a problem to pull away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 No but when he first got it, he pulled up behind me in the car park said nice car but mines faster!! What a knobber!! 4 wheel drive this...turbo that!! Then i found out its an n/a...coont!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Just make sure you race him to 100 and not 60 or so. They are quite quick off the line. In a safe place off the public roads of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Other than being 4 wheels drive, i cant see there been that much difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Other than being 4 wheels drive, i cant see there been that much difference Probably not, but if you're only racing to 60, that car length he might gain takes a heck of a lot of power to make up.

Guest merlinuk Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have owned an N/A GTO, now have just this week bought an N/A Supra. Trust me your Supra will stuff it! The N/A GTO is not quick mainly because of the weight etc. Now I've got a Supra I would never go back to GTO even the turbo! Supra is different class IMO Dave.

Proper experiences. There has been a few fools at work...mainly guys that work with a mate of mine who have been saying that the Supe n/a is crap. One guy with a Lexus IS, one with a Skoda RS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 A mechanic once told me his mates GTO TT was way way faster than my supra in straight lines and corners because it had 300bhp or thereabouts... I kept quiet and said 'oh ok very good' not wanting to burst his bubble etc, until a friend I was with pointed out to him that mine was a TT with 320bhp sandard. His face dropped and he didn't say much else about the GTO. And as already said, a supra will ALWAYS look better than a GTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The GTO would be quicker and TBH if not for the unreliablity of the gearbox would be a better car ,the handling is great in the bends especially the MR version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 'The knobbers' is J reg, with the flippy headlights, the best shape IMO. I did look at gettin one for a while, but fell under the Supra spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The GTO would be quicker and TBH if not for the unreliablity of the gearbox would be a better car ,the handling is great in the bends especially the MR version WTF. Have you ever raced a GTO on track or point to point on interesting roads? The ones I've been up against have looked plain scary through the bends if giving it any kind of beans, given the choice of either for a cash bet I'd take the Supra, the GTO needs it's turbos to be even remotely competitive, even then it's not too amazing.

michael Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Anyone got car specs on the GTO NA version? Like to see the comparison on paper. I'm as lazy as you so I'm not going to Google either but it's something like 220bhp and 205lb/ft at the fly (no idea how much all that 4wd nonsense robs), 6G7 engine and 1400 > 1750kg.

dibbleyuk Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 hahah GTO is one car i cant stand! I remember being 14 years old and arguing with a guy my uncle knew. he believed his GTO twin turbo did 0-60 in 3.5-4.0seconds and 200mph and that was standard! I used to tell him it didnt. I knew more than him! I even printed of the stats at school a week later and posted them through his letter box on my way home haha After that when ever i saw him round my uncles he didnt speak to me i used to say hows the GTO hahah TWAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenSheen Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 GTO's look like they have been shunted in the behind. Ugly squat little things. Rubbish. Evo is the only good mitsi, look at the GT3000.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah some guy told my window cleaners his GTO did 200mph lol they were saying yours must do 220mph then eh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
