Does any one know how to tell what kind of Supra it was? ie Turbo, N/A?`Michael Canny` do you know any one, with a fast black Supra, big/loud exhaust and nice silver aftermarket alloys in Newcastle/Gateshead?
- the J-Spec stuff all looks the same

I'll stick a post on the Supra forum and see if anyone admits to playing.
In that case you would have no trouble beating it!

At least the UK cars don't burst into flames at random

hey.
Once into the midrange though, the Supra has the legs, torque, extra cylinders and extra turbo to just keep getting faster.(the J-spec wastegate is not strong enough once you remove both cats and the cars tend to boost to around 1.2bar with just that one mod), both the UK and J-spec spool up much faster and there is a much bigger wallop as turbo no.2 comes online, a Supe with basic mods would eat a MR2 Turbo. On the other hand, a MR2-T with basic mods would probably be pretty close to a stock Supe, at least at legal speeds. (silver '95 J-Spec RZ-S) 120mph,he then begins to slowly pull away.thelegend wrote:

I bet he can't anymore
Thats exactly why I made the comment about stock performance.thelegend wrote:hum im not too sure myself.
what you mean by midrange?

the supra i believe was close to 500bhp.

.... the Supra will just pull and pull and pull....(auto, manual, jspec, uk). What I am saying is that all things being equal, with a good driver, there will be not much in it, at a traffic light dash; but the Supra will start to put distance between it and the MR2 at higher speeds, or if already rolling along at a decent pace. .. once moving though, they're monsters.(up hill), and see this mean black supra next to me.(its been miserable weather for weeks so fun to be had), but tonight was dry.(2997cc, 6cyl, twin turbo with steel blades)= 326bhp (there are no late spec UK cars)(2997cc, 6cyl, twin turbo with ceramic blades) = 320bhp (if you hear 280bhp it is WRONG, standard imported cars have been dyno tested and are all within ~5-10 bhp of UK models).(2997cc, 6cyl, twin turbo with VVTi with ceramic blades) = 330-ish, slightly more torque. A lot of folks (me included) reckon the auto is an easier car to drive faster (you really have to drive one to see just how good the auto box is), of the cars that do drag runs, they are almost always the fastest. Top speeds of all models once derestriced are 170mph... basically the UK spec got all the goodies as standard and the steel turbine blades last longer and are slightly better top end, the J-Spec had all the options still, but had to be specced with them when bought... it also got ceramic turbine blades as the GT4 and MR2 did - people who have driven them back to back reckon the J-Spec spools up and is on the power faster... but there is not much in it at all(2997cc, 6cyl) = 220-225bhp(2997cc, 6cyl, VVTi) = 235-240bhp Top speed 150mph.MegatronUK wrote:the J-Spec had all the options still, but had to be specced with them when bought.
*all* the options .... and so on - they're not big and they're not clever!
