why are jap cars slow???
i raced my mate last night who has just bought a supra with graphs to prove 465bhp. so i said come on the lets go to the private race track and see how fast it is 
we did a standing start and i completely wasted him
when he eventually catches up he gives it i was on low boost i didn't realise 
so we went again and i still creamed him. so how can it be 465bhp if my 340bhp saph beat him ??

because
a) he cant drive it properly
b) someme thing is wrong with the car
c) its not 465 brake
forgot to add option "d" your car is more that 340 brake

Supras weigh just under 1500kg, not that heavy.
Either the geezer cant drive or its miles from the power its meant to be.
LOL@Title tho, I think TOTB1/2/3/4 shows otherwise

well most of the jap cars i have come accross quote massive power figures but aren't that quick it seems you have to spend a hell of a lot of money to have a quick one. i didn't mean all jap cars im sure there is some really fast ones out there sorry for the generalisation. its just from my experience they get great power figures but dont seem to be able to do anything with it

Curb weight of standard Supra 1,456kg, so with 465bhp = 319bhp per tonne
Curb weight of standard Sapphire 1,250kg, so with 340bhp = 272bhp per tonne
Ipso facto, Supra only has standard power (321bhp) or he couldn't drive a slippery stick up a dog's arse. Try swapping cars to see which it is
