Nothing to do with me, that sort of thing is notmy problem until someone is arrested for it Besides which as far as I'm aware it isn't a criminal offence to chat S**T on an internet forum. (thankfully)
complete divs at my place when it comes to cars , they all like bloody football and i dont. All the poles drive audis and a few have polish ferraris ie fiat bravos.
Hold on, it might actually be possible for a 276bhp Supra to get to 170+mph on a long stretch. Tak's Merc 430 CLK (4.3L V8 nasp) has book figures of 279bhp/400nm torque, 0-60 in 6.2s and a limited top speed of 155mph. Oh and weighs in at 1555kgs. Now this thing hits the limiter so amazingly quickly it's unreal. Given the gearing and a lack of a limiter, 170mph would be easily achievable. So if the young man's supra really does have 276bhp and probably shed loads of turbo torque, i really do believe it could manage close to 170mph. Gurds
ANYWAY! we have some great banter with the camberley boys next door! they are struggling with the concept of a quick mk1! even showed them Reeves mk1 @ SPA. "yeh but a 911 ain't THAT fast!"
174.6 any good as a reference? [youtube]4dbXJXIzwDE[/youtube] Didn't bill hit around that figure once in the Beeeeeezer
Saw it at a north weild rwyb, the distance it gains from anything in the other lane from the get go is ridiculous
To his credit it was actually a 19mm ring-end his mate used. The lethality of them is sooooo much greater...
TBH I'm with Gurds on this one. Supras are a good shape for aero, but crucially also have very low frontal area in comparison with a Golf. 170mph doesn't sound that stupid a figure when you take that into account. Even a MK2 should be slippery enough to hit 140 with 250 or so brake and the right gearing.
Aye, but not 175mph which was what he was claiming! I call foul, and wish to see video evidence, with a pocket sized angle grinder and a 12" elephant wrench in the picture as proof.
top speed is horsepower and aerodynamics, has nothing to do with weight A fiat coupe will do 155 with only 220bhp, as it's small and slippery, this guy reckons he's calculated it all and those supras are faster than you think
