Sparky Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Well i stood in a group of about 10 people who all own 200sx's (s13 and s14a), a crx, a levin, a pulsar and a legacy Turbo. Suddenly the mood all changes when i make the statement that Supras are very fast. Well i have to say after seeing my best mates video of him destroying a TT supra at Santapod last week i think they may be right I saw the printout too before people say it was an N/a. I know the whole power to weight ratio thing applies but seriously... why are they saying TT supra's are slow accellerating when TT's have a 0-60 time iof under 5 secs and crx's (Which are rubbish toy cars btw) have a 9 sec 0-60 time. Im confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 What was the TT's 1/4 mile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 If it was a modded car against the TT supra then it is possible it could destroy it because it is a lot lighter, but stock v stock there is no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 This car is 100% stock engined . Just lowered. The Supra got 14.5 secs i think. My mates N/a did it in 15.0 secs and the crx beat it by 0.1 of a second. Ive read the sheet with all of the results on it and the supras all seems to be way down the page. Please someone restore my faith before i go buy something else! And remember kids, speed kills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 That's a crap time, even for stock. Mid to High 13's are easy enough stock. I'm guessing the CRX was modded too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Does it really matter? Do *you* think Supras are slow compared to those cars? Let them think what they want, just enjoy your car and keep cursing NAs for getting us a bad reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 My times were roughly as follows: Totally stock: 13.4 to 13.7 Decatted with a FCD fitted and running 1.1bar: 12.87 (Although I only ever attained this once in this trim - usually 13.0's or 13.1's.) I only ever ended up over 14secs when I screwed something up myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Lol i have an N/a. TT next month if i can sell mine! I think supra's are bloody quick but when you see a stock Crx match a TT supra equally then its quite depressing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Stock CRX will NOT match stock Supra TT... I used to kill CRX's in my Prelude vtec, and my Supra is SO much quicker than that ever was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Mine is a stock Auto TT, and I got a 13.6 @ 107mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Boy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 If 60 leptons is all there is to being quick than maybe a Supes not for you...... ...... Supras are a Big Boy's toy, TT's not for the faint hearted. See who's going the fastest in Top Gear on the redline, i'm sure the 200's, CRX's would be looking for replacement engines if they tried to keep up.

JohnA Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Why do you care what your 'local jap car club' thinks? Ask them to time their cars 100-160 in top gear, for comparison purposes. Then sit back and enjoy the woulda/coulda/shoulda excuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Why do you care what your 'local jap car club' thinks? Ask them to time their cars 100-160 in top gear, for comparison purposes. Then sit back and enjoy the woulda/coulda/shoulda excuses So what this guys car beat a Supra at the ice rink. I have lost to so called lesser cars at the quarter mile due to cocking up i expect they will have put it down as a kill then 0-60 and quarter mile is such a poor comparison of true speed as it brings the driver in to the equation, who is likely to mess up from time to time . Ask for some In gear acceleration times like John says or better still don't rise to the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 lol don't let it get to you just smile and agree, yes that's right supra's are slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Its a bit like some of the other threads at the moment 'are supra's looking dated' etc etc and really the same applies 'who cares'? I suppose it comes down to the fact that on here we take a lot of pride in our cars investing loads of money, time and effort so its hard to take when someone who obviously has no knowledge of supras say 'their really slow' or whatever. Its also what they mean by slow as said previously are they talking 1/4 miles, top speed or track? but their is one thing for certain their are always going to a faster cars out their so just enjoy your car matey and don't worry about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks. All good advise. I'll just agree with them lol. Im upgrading to TT next month anyways so should make a large diference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Kslb did a 13.8 in mine but I feel slow now having only managed a 14.8 - must try harder. Back to crail 30th Sept for take two. We both got humped by a CRX but it was modded to high heaven and my Supe is running stock. Also got trashed by a Starlet; clearly a wolf in sheep's and all that....

DaveK Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Let them think what they want, just enjoy your car and keep cursing NAs for getting us a bad reputation. I'll have you know that I overtook a cyclist this morning - and I wasn't even in 3rd. NAs are very much lighter and probably have the best power to weight ratio of any rear wheel drive car.
