Ben. Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I don't think I could force myself to drive in that..chained tires or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 that guy is an idiot for 2 reasons 1) he bought an automatic supra 2) hes driving it in the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 that guy is an idiot for 2 reasons 1) he bought an automatic supra 2) hes driving it in the snow Definitely not an idiot if he's got dreams of a 10 second car.. Trans-brake or stall with less power than a 6-speed Supra can get better '60 times as well as quarter mile times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Auto supras aren't always dumb. They can have some serious muscle and automatic muscle cars aren't bad. Just not as fun to me as nimble 5 or 6 speeds. We can all point to the summer tires and go, "Well there's yer problem," to this guy. One of the mechanics at my old shop had summer tires on his Z one time when we got a light dusting. We had to push his car into the shop for the night cuz he wasn't going anywhere with them.

airjordan223 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 well unless its gonna be a drag car, then its just stupid IMO. if im spending the money on a supra, i want to be able to control it. not step on the pedal and hold on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the mechanics at my old shop had summer tires on his Z one time when we got a light dusting. We had to push his car into the shop for the night cuz he wasn't going anywhere with them. at the start of winter we had a very light dusting, and i didn't realize they get NO traction in the snow.... panic sets in when you turn and nothing, you step on the brake, and nothing......

TS John Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm surprised you could even get it out of the parking space. They really are summer tires. And only summer tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycarsux Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 that guy is an idiot for 2 reasons 1) he bought an automatic supra 2) hes driving it in the snow I said the same thing to him. "The first mistake you made was buying an automatic Supra. The second was bringing it to Rochester, NY." He said he's had the car for 2 years and hasn't done anything to it. I'm pretty sure he bought it as is for $20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 That STI wouldn't get very far either. Looks like stock tires and they come with summer only tires too sooooo..... I personally think it's stupid that an offroad rally born car comes with tires that you can't drive in the snow. Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycarsux Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 By the way, he did eventually get it back in the parking spot. I went and grabbed my shovel out of my trunk and shoveled all around the area. He was nice guy, he just didn't know how to deal with snow (he's from LA). So calling him an idiot is harsh.

CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yeah, but GM doesn't put 24's on Hummers. Subie sells the STI with summer only tires ......on a rally bread car. (they see lots of snow in the rally races) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 i wouldn't mind rolling around in an AT Supra....what's the big deal, doesn't seem like the kid is too into racing anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I don't see the big deal either. The fastest Supra's are Auto's. I'd like to have one in auto or manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
