Was following a Toyota Soarer last night a J reg with a tailpipe each side. On a long straight he opened it up and that thing was quick just wondered what the 0-60 0-100 etc. is for this car. I felt it would have took my STI8 a full thrash to get past him, if at all.

They are pretty quick cars in TT or V8 forms- also very cheap these days. There used to be a guy on here who had one and seemed to think they were the fastest thing on the road but he was banned for some reason which was never revealed.

Do a google search for Toyota Imports and you'll find some UK sites dedicated to this GT car.

my V8 did 0-60 in 7 seconds and 0-100 in 15.5.

That means the 60 - 100 sprint is very quick. The TT's are quicker to 60 but about the same to 100.

very similar performance delivered in two very differnt ways.

Have to say I quite like the way those cars look.

Don't know that much about them other than they are fast in a straight line.
