ep82auto Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 no my friend 2.5 turbo i believe, and mine is standard, from 35-75mph there was no difference at all.im pretty sure from 75 onwards he would have pass but up untill then no chance. well he does have a 2.5 turbo with 300bhp.

Raz Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 auto starlets are fast man i got 85 in second, when you kick down not allot of cars can't*** touch me or this guy i'm guessing he got auto ep82, i'm sure i have more fun in my auto glanza then i would in a manual glanza Thats my opinion, i'm sure most of you will dissagree, but the kick down on the auto starlets is just amazingly fast! by the time you blink, it has changed down a gear!

Idrees Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I kept up with a Lambo in my 211bhp GT, no bullshit. (I'm actually being serious, he only got one car gap on me) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kara GTT Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 There not up to much in a straight line......but I smell BS, sorry, keep dreaming that you kept up with a 300hp car with buckets of torque in a 130hp auto starlet....guy was probably playing.Hmmm its not always down to quickness alot of it is down to the driver!

Guest Enzo Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 they arnt that spectacular performance wise tbh for 30k this months editon of evo has a road test between it, the leon cupra r,a quater mile time of 14.5 seconds is nothing to write home about for a 30k car with 300 brake.putting that into perspective a lightly boosted ep or a standard integra type r will do that all day everyday.plus second gear in an auto is a great gear, as its so long goin up to 80, its great for sprinting out of 40 zones and kicking down for overtaking. the biggest thing i miss about driving an auto turbo starlet(had 2)it sounds like the guy started closing just before that gear was out(i can picture it),maybe he caught him napping or the guy was in 3rd when he should have been in second or what not but it doesent sound totaly daft and i could believe it.

chr15_7_t_ Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 when u put it in perspective like that about him been in 3rd insted of 2nd i can see that hapening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kara GTT Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 It still should of pulled in 3rd gear there running a 2.5ltr Volvo enginewhen u put it in perspective like that about him been in 3rd insted of 2nd i can see that hapening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chr15_7_t_ Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 wonder what the power to ratio per tone is on one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 208 versus 160, check our power to weight ratio table in the side bar, thats what its there for, quic refrencinguksc power to weight board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 What enzo said lol30 K for 300 BHP You are kidding me lol! Any jap monster will be double the horses and half the price, maybe not 09 plate but hey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I agree, this is where the Starlets is best from a rolling start upto around 90-100mph.They are meant to be pretty laggy and if he caught him out (plus being an auto) I would imagine he would of had the edge for that amount of time. After the magic tonne he woulda beem gome though.This is going to be one of my first cars I look to take on when the GT is back out Gotta be honest I did struggle to go Round a 225 ST but in all fairness my car was on its last legs and way down on power, but still took him down Also the ex has invited me to Castle Combe to thrash her uncles RS around so I will let you know my verdict on them They are stunning motors though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
