Ok lets start with my past performance cars

1993 Toyota Supra SZ 5 Speed







Then after 8 months

1995 Toyota Supra RZ Twin Turbo 6 Speed



Suspension was a bit low to start with and my mate got us a bit lost when we went paint balling







First Mods Racing Heart CR's











Now my big mistake, changing the bodywork. In hinesight should have left it alone, this ended my love of the car, the kit looked so much better in the pictures and because there were no others in the UK with the kit I hadnt seen one in the flesh. However enjoyed doing the work and did it all myself last xmas so not bad for an accountant!

















After 2 years I changed it (around 5 months with the kit on)

Now my current toy

TVR Tuscan Speed 6

I thought it looked more like a Sagaris with all the crazy slash-iness. I especially loved the RacingHart wheels. What kind of power was it running? Nice TVR too btw.

With the mods it should have been running around the 400bhp mark however in the real world I would say 370ish.

Heres the pics I had to go on when I decided on the kit



looks better in the pic lol

That Supra was gorgeous without the kit. At nearly 400bhp, how did it compare with the Tuscan?

At silly speeds not much in it but everywhere else the tuscan has the edge due to being so much lighter and putting out the same power. Plus believe it or not I find the tuscan handles better too (has Racing Reds on her)
