A 400bhp Soarer Wont do 190mph as you claimed yesterday.
I do like the look of a good modded Soarer but 190mph needs near 800-900bhp!!!!!

The only reason they had to engineer it to hold 1.15G is because its so heavy it generates that at 30MPh round a steady bend

Fully rebushed and jointed, onboard adjustable bump and return variable springs... 255/40 front 285/40 rear... we'll play, at least you have humour and I like that... I'll sort it and if you go to the TIF when done we'll 'get it on' a good run out for the new beast...

But your car is also crap... its a POSche...

And it has a cheap little 4pot motor... 4 pots = low rent in my book...
And only one turbo... low rent again...
And it's a hatchback... low rent also...
Not Brown is it... very popular for the jumped up VW with the LT28 motor stuffed under the dated bodywork... ugly bug ball in my books.

Cool, I enjoy the racing, the winning would be a bonus, but I would definitely be the underdog in this bsttle, but would be a laugh win or lose (and im quietly confident )

Thumbs up

You are like a Jehovas Witness mate, you keep banging on about something that you just can not prove.

You think my car is crap, very well.

It will stop the like of you neanderthal/hooligan type from owning one then.

A soarer needs 800-900bhp,be fully stripped,and see no corners to do 190mph.
###
Nah... you're an idiot if you believe that...

###
Your car is good with 400bhp but is big,heavy and corner like so.
as do Astons BMWz etc
###
My car weighs 1500kgs... 200 less than a DB7... which has less power... still feeling so clever?

###
you car has weight and mass to of the main things that stop a car doing high speeds.
###
Thanks for that...

###
I live near and will teach you maths for a small sum!!!!!!
###
You are obviously an infant school teacher... post the formula of how you extrapolate 280hp=168mph therefore 400hp=?

I need a laugh... and you seem to be the closest 'thing' to Bernard Manning tonight...

I looked up some specs, and it said 1600kg's, but they may do a sporty model or something?
Here's what I found, on the net, and I never believe everything I read on the net (most stuff, but not all):
Toyota Soarer JZZ30 Lexus SC400 90+ 1JZ-GTE 2.5lt twin turbo straight 6 RWD 1600kg 208kW 362Nm 7 15.1 4 Spd Auto, 5 Spd man, 2-wishbone f & r, (+airbag-UZZ-32) vent disc, ABS

280BHP stock aint bad, but you'd be going against me in a Type-R RX7, which weighs just 1260KG's, could be close!!
