oldmandon 1 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm thinking that in the future after important work has been done, i.e. bodywork etc that I may look at supercharging or turbo charging the engine. I'm aiming for stealth power. A nondescript car (in comparison to supra's et al) that will surprise some of the bigger players. Currently my car is averaging 20mpg around town, and thats not really pushing it, I'd like to know what sort of mpg I could expect from a car that would be capable of sub 5 seconds to 60mph, and what sort of power I'd need to get there in less than 5??Over to all you tuning experts................Or should I just buy an Audi A8 W10???!!!!!!!

Daverse 175 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 just stick one of them in your bot, you should have the edge over jap tuners not too sure about your mpg though.. Link to post Share on other sites
