saying that a 18 year old isnt supposed to drive a supra is kinda wierd. I really like the car and my dad bought it so i guess i will get the car soon and if my grades keep up.
Oh, so you've already got the Sup?

It's not weird. It's like you put someone who just got his drivers license in a Murcielago or an Enzo.

Anywayz, good luck.

ever seen a enzo on a track... and I mean a real track... wich is round...

ooh LOL I forgot... it has corners... and americans have something agaist corners.... they wan't to race in a streight... :P (it's a joke before you get all pissed)

The Enzo is a fast track car... maybe not so horribly fast on a streight....

BTW I don't want to bother you with this... but when My brother still had the Celica T-16 I thought I could take a corner with 50 KM/h (30 Mph) and it oversteered and I drove right into the grass.... damn I'm such a bad driver and I was 22 then....

But then again... a RWD hardly does understeer... you get oversteer for that... and that has ONE big advantage....

if you oversteer and loose it you can't see the tree commin that kills you...

:D

Top Gear explains.. :P

Understeer: Into the corner, front wheels lose traction, die while you see the tree.

Oversteer: Into the corner, rear wheels lose traction, die while you don't see anything.

What you should do is dry practice with the FR.
Find open space, and bring some soft barricades, boxes or whatever you got that is non metallic and will not damage you or the car when you hit them.
Place them out and use them as "Walls" in a corner, and practice the traction loss.
in a situation like that, if you spin out and hit the "wall" nor your car or you will take any damage and you can have a 2nd attempt.
You WON'T! Have that on the road if it happens, depending on speed and how you crash.

But most likely, your car will be damaged anyway, but with the dry practice you can continiue unaffected (Car wise) maybe fear wise but that is good.
Because you will learn to overcome it, and react properly when it happens on the road.
When I get myself an RX7 I'll do this, I'll make sure I can handle a situation like that properly.

Are you just another brainless person?

HELLO, we are just saying that DrewBoi shouldn't take a Supra as his first car. He had no other experiences yet.

Why are you buying a car when you are 14? That's shiznit and you are spoiling you money, cuz you can't even drive it and modding a Nova is also shiznit+modding a car, even a Supra is spoiling your money.. :roll:

Well, because of people like him, Im going to stay on this site until some people see sense. As long as my sig pic remains untouched, Ill stay. Theres far too much ignorance of the power of cars going about, and young kids talking crap.

It wasnt referring to your post, it was to the 'everyone whos seen him thinks hes the best racer' bullsh*t. I believe that you own a Nova, its not the sort of thing people lie about really. However, 475bhp Supras and people who are the ultimate racer are.

The Supras sweeter than ever. Just got my BOV fitted last week, and raced an Impreza STi today for over 4 miles peaking at about 135mph. Unfortunately, Im going in the Royal Marines soon, which might mean selling her. If I can keep her though, she'll be pushing 500-600bhp within a year.

The more Ive been thinking about it, Id rather sell the Beemer and keep the Supra if I have to. If all goes well, Ill be keeping both.
