Supra in classifieds
Discussion
sorry guys, ok in pretty simple terms it's down to exhaust gas flow. In true twin both turbo's see the exhaust gas all the time, where as in stock mode its only #1 that see's the gasses until a certain point when it also introduces gasses to # 2. This is controlled by soleneoids ( VSV's).

Tuned to 'in the region of 400bhp'.... but saddled with an autobox? Strange Colour:
It's a fecking awful colour/kit/interior, but what's the beef with the auto-box?
Just dont think slushmatics are conducive to a sporting drive - quite apart from the fact they reduce performance you lose out on the enjoyment of changing gear. I honestly cant think of *any* car I'd describe as sporty that has a 'normal' torque converter autobox...... (obviously Ferrari F1, BMW SMG etc are not what I'm referring to)
far to loud for me, but seemed like a lot of motor for the money?
p.s. IMHO, smg boxes are shite! i worked for mercs, and they were foever going up the wall (electrics). i have driven 2 good examples of me evos with smg, there were absolute crap, banging on the way up and down, and pretty poor in trafic too. i am a beliver in manual or auto! havent driven a aston or ferrari with it though, so if anyone has one and wants to show me the error of my ways, feel free!!lol

How about a DB9?

Exactly: DB9 is emphatically a GT/Tourer with the (very good) autobox which changes gear very quickly and even h+t on the way down(!).... still not 'sporting' though; thats the AMV8's raison d 'etre. Seems to me its really a matter of personal taste, and for me a torque converter auto will always rob a car of ultimate sporting response...
