Well, I hope you guys don't gang up on me, 'cause despite being common as far as Soarers go, there aren't many JZZ31 owners around here, so we are outnumbered!
And yeah, I know my car is slow and I don't care, I still love it. |

I never bought V8 for that purpose. I sold TT and swapped brut and whoosh for sweet sound and steady (yet not neck snapping) performance and comfort.
I get to 100km/h a little later then TT but most of my driving is done is 40/60/80 and 10% 100 speed zone.
No one really goes "wow look at this great driver doing 100km/h in 60 zone, he must be good driver"
What I hear 100% of the time is "look at this kokhead! I hope he kills himself" |

not talking about my driving skills here Peter.
Talking about what others around me say when they see someone doing 100 clicks in the burbs.

I never get that, other motorists don't have time for the eyes to adjust as a ZOOM past |

Can the car wash classify as a workshop? That's where my Soarers have spent most of their lives |

Jzz31's are quickest over the 1st 100m???
Thats the biggest load of codswollop i ever heard!
Hmm, 100metres ( 330 feet ) in 5.47 seconds. Also doing over 100km/h by then!
I think that kicks ANY ZZ31's A55!!!!!!! |

I have no idea whether the JZZ31 is actually quicker than a JZZ30 or UZZ31 over any number of metres and do not care but it is ridiculous to post up drag data for a modified car as if it were pertinent to the original assertion. Any suitably modified car can be faster. |

David, No one said it had to be stock did they?
And my car is Far from Massively modded! Ask anyone.
I was just putting up some friendly info with proof of a 0-100m sprint. |

I'd say (guess) my JZZ31 is a little slower than my UZZ30 was from the lights. Wouldnt be much in it though. From 80 - 140 the UZZ30 was much quicker, otherwise its really hard to say. |
