What's your ultimate performance goal for your Solara?

by **Assyrian** » Fri Nov 25, 2005 11:51 am

Mine is to get the car to a very low 15/high 14's without any weight removal and without sacrificing any comforts....

Shouldn't be difficult with the manual V6... seems like all it would take is an intake, exhuast, good tires, performance clutch/fidanza flywheel and a really good tune.

I would shoot for a little lower, but the s/c seems impossible to come by a full kit and I don't want to do anything illegal or unpassable by emissions testing.

16's would have been a nice goal with the car I was driving before this one haha.

Be able to go through a mountain pass/twisty road at 50+ mph the whole way

Have you been to the track? I remember a few guys with stock V6 5spds getting those numbers rather easily. Hmm... If I'm not mistaken, one of the car mags got the 5 spd Solara to do the 1/4 in 15 flat when it first came out.

Wow!!! That's amazing news! It does feel faster than my old MX-6, and that was a 15.73... How much faster??? I couldn't tell...

Thanks for the info!

Haha, man I take turns rated at 35 over a hundred. Just trust the car and know what your doing. You may be amazed at what a solara can do. No bs either on that one.

Also, the car in all honesty is a complete beast at highspeeds. I know many of you never hit that area but at around 120 the car shines like nothing else. Eats gas like you would never believe also (I have dropped from the second mark to just under 1/2 tank in less than 8 miles before. Stock).

I have never had such a fun car. I have driven all sorts of cars but the gen 1 is just flat out the best. It looks good, can cruise it and its comfortable. I can tote people with me and when I want to i can flat out move it. Other people have been in my car and driven it and also tell me how amazed they are at the way it rides at high speeds. Slower my car is kinda umm, well you may loose some teeth on rougher roads. Laugh
