So as a quick comparison with yer old STi (b4 sum1 got greedy on da boost:p) can i say the supra wos a norty boy on rubber costs & well lairly in da wet &/or twisties but wood kick sum serious ass in a straight line (already seen a mpeg where sum bloke lays down 200m of rubber in a supra :eek: mumma)
Si

Its not the fastest from 0-60 (but its not slow under 7 secs) but from 30-160 nothing will catch it!!!!!!!!!!!! without spending a fortune!

160 :eek: not surprised yer license had a rest ;) official 0-60 seems to be 4.9 sex mind in the wet im sure it's way off type R money ;)
Si

BTW you dont want an air rifle do you mate ????
To protect you pride and joy on the drive????

LMAO i saw that thread in 4 sale but u were fresh outa oozy 9mm's so i passed :p lol.
Si

According to Toyota, the Twin Turbo will do 0-60 in 4.9 secs.

Cheers thou all forts tiz good :D
Si

0-60 a Supra will have a damn hard job keeping up with a scoob - 1600 kilos and 2WD see to that.

But rolling starts, and from 60 and it, it's a totally different story - my Supra (full decat) makes nearly 200lbft @ 2000rpm, 270lbft at 3000rpm, and when the 2nd turbo wakes up at 4000rpm leaps to 375lbft at 4700rpm - and this was in 34C air temps, with awful boost drop due to a bleed valve rather than a proper boost controller, barely making 1 bar of boost, if that. On a cooler day, when I get a proper controller, and set it to a perfectly safe 1.2bar, I am fully expecting to see over 400lbft, if not more. There are few scoobs that can match that amount of sheer twisting grunt, espcially for less than £1000 of mods.

Get the Supra over the Impreza!!
they look a lot better than a 4 door family style saloon with big wings bolted onto them, and can be tuned very easily, so if thats what you're after, go for that, and even as stock, id be quite happy to give a few milliseconds away to drive something that looks nice.

Also have a much more involving driving experience, even the quicker impreza's are dull, id take an Integra Type-R for pure enjoyment and fun over one, never mind a Supra.
