Over-Drive

Does the Manual TT have an over-drive option?

 

The reason I ask is because i do a lot of motorway miles in my ZX and over-drive helps the car cruise a lot better because it drops the revs?

 

How about the manual version, on my auto I can cruise at about 70mph on just over 2000 revs.

Auto Slush boxes were only fitted to Zeds to allow all those people too impatient to find a manual something to drive in the mean-time.

Hehe

Hmmm Auto and T/C or a Manual which IS T/C

LOL

Only japing fellaz. wink.gif

Let us not waste time quibbling over the transmission on our cars, far better to rip the piss out of mkivsupra.net hehe

 

Glen.

Manual with quick-shift linkage and MT-90

wink.gif

I dont know why you are arguing over which gearbox is better, as my 1988 944 Turbo S will whip your lardy DATSUN barges, weather on the track or street, manual or auto!!

 

 

Wazza, I had a worse pull off than you at Santa Pod which makes my time even more impressive smile.gif

 

OK Mr Duff, you are right, the F1 autos are a little more sophisticated than my auto box but when you have a budget of 100 million quid a year, you should get a little more for your money (even if you go to SE smile.gif )

 

Porsche, bwhahahahahah. Nuff said.

Oh dear. Just re-read my post and it looks like I'm getting aggressive. Too much time spent reading Wazza's posts methinks.

 

Sorry for degenerating.

Porker, wakey wakey biggrin.gif You may try and piss us off with the Datsun name but you can't harm me, my wings are like a shield of steel biggrin.gif LMFAO was that batfink then??? :d

 

Bye bye, which is exactly the same as I'll be saying at the lights as you shrink in my mirrors biggrin.gif

 

One letter - Z!!!

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Hey, Porker,

 

I have mucho respect for the old 944 Turbo, I thought very seriously about it then weighed it up:

 

More money to buy

Older Car

Dated interior

Hurrendous insurance

 

and there are a lot of them about.

 

Sorry guy, as I said nuf respect but, I'll stick with my Z.

Porsche =Real Teutonic HORSEPOWER

Nissan =imaginary Japanese donkeypower

 

Porsche =911,968,928,944 etc....

Nissan =Cedric,Gloria,Bluebird,Sunny,Cherry

biggrin.gif

Porker or should I say Wazza,

 

Your really clever arn't you and you know so much about cars, I am really impressed.

 

NOT.............

 

Donkey power.........LMFAO

 

Ever driven a Z? No, didn't think so.

 

For my money I think you ain't never been behid the wheel of a Porsche, am I right? Yes, thought so.

 

Take your 'Great' knowledge back to the pork factory and do some reading, you might learn something then.

 

I suggest an easy book or two first, how about 'Sue and Bob go shopping?' my niece has just finished it, I'm sure if I ask her she will lend it to you!!

 

If you get stuck reading it I will arrange for someone to read it to you, can't say fairer than that can I.

Porker,

 

In a period UK magazine group test (Fast Lane, Aug '91) The 300zx, the 944 turbo and the Renault Alpine A610 turbo were

put head-to-head.

 

Guess which one came out on top?

 

The Renault!

 

Surpised, yes. I was too, but given that Renault now own Nissan I guess you got yer ass kicked

 

All you gotta do is look at the figures:

 

300zx

156.5mph, 0-60 5.8sec, bhp/rpm 275/6,400

 

944T

150.8mph, 0-60 5.9sec, bhp/rpm 250/6,000

 

Renault

163.4mph, 0-60 5.9sec, bhp/rpm 250/5,750

 

The defence rests.

 

Tim

Hmmm, I seem to recollect that the Renault would be a tad lighter than the others - always wanted one of those actually.

 

Some Porkers are nice too, (924 doesn't count it's more Audi & VW than Porsche and the 944 isn't much different) 944 Turbo is OK, but getting a bit old these days. Love the 911, real blast to drive, but the stigma that goes with ownership of a Porsche is what turned me against them ....

Porker

 

I do agree with you that Porsche make damn fine cars BUT having owned both a 944T and a 928 I would have to say this. The 928 pissed all over the 944T and my TT datsun!!would wipe the arse of both of them.

biggrin.gif AUTO is best!!! biggrin.gif

 

AndyP, you NEVER want an Alpine/A610 they're a pile of shite with weak alternators, shite Renault engines, crappy trip computers with integrated fuel gauge that pack up as soon as they leave the factory it would seem. Electrically operated door release which has locked my Brothers wife in the passenger side several times, parts are unbelievably expensive and when Jeremy Clarkson raved about them Renault sold 7 in the first year!!! Nuff said!!!

 

My Bro owns one and so far his has been part of an on-going legal dispute for two years now. 9K for a pile of French wank!!!

 

Did I say Auto are best? biggrin.gif

 

944 Turbo isn't a proper Porch mate, even Porch themselves admitted that due to it being cooled by water!

 

Oh, and now that Nissan are owned by Renault, that is not a good sign!!! How come the latest adverts for Japanese cars use a male version of that fuckin' Clio bitch!!! Nuff said? IMHO...NO OFFENCE MEANT TO ANYONE...HONEST!!! My arse!

Porsche: Don`t make me Fuking laugh. Built by Nazis driven by Over Financed Humourless Under powered Tossers.

Basically. In my opinion Full of Shit.

 

Stay of the Z site OR ELSE. biggrin.gif

O.K guyZ who`s up for it?

Now!Now! Geisha Girls! If you dish it out to other people, including your own new members and to others on other sites....You must expect to take it in return! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

p.s. The Alpine is a far superior car to any old rot box Datsun/Nissan biggrin.gif

biggrin.gif Ask me Bro about Renaults then and me Mrs who had a R5GTT which had a Phuket engine aswell! Dog Shite! biggrin.gif

 

IMO

As a contemporary road test concluded....

Porsche 0-60 5.6/ top speed 160mph

Nissan 0-60 6.6/ top speed 155mph (auto).

 

As the God of motoring...William Woollard, would say! 'Drive safely'! biggrin.gif

Porker,

 

Which bit of FUCK OFF didn't you understand?

 

Mr Angry

when you look at road test data produced in the same year....

 

then have good look how many cars have a top speed of 155... it is the self imposed restricted limit by manufacturers that sell in the UK. not the actual limit, as myself and others can definitely testify !

 

944 is old news and you should pick on capris and mantas and other things of that era....

 

or come along to a meet and bring your porsche along.. if you dont have one, then your arguing the point is purely academic.. which means nought in the real world

 

if you do, then you have nothing to lose except your pride, bring it on...

What is it with all this Mr Angry alias bollocks? If you want to tell him to fuck off, at least use your own bloody login..

Oh and Tim - steady m8y, you know I used to be a Renault boy biggrin.gif My GTT never let me down (apart from due to my own folly, i.e. disconnecting actuator hoses biggrin.gif) either biggrin.gif

I always look forward to the mornings as I know there will be a nice post from Porker on this thread (I guess it's done just before he goes to school).

 

Keep polishing the badge on the front of your daddys car, cos the rest of it is a shit heap.

 

If you want a nice, super quick sports car, you go to Japan or Italy. Porsches suck ass.
