Steve Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Back onto the original post. Its a real shame that P1WOC has closed as there was a lot of useful information for P1 owners on there. A lot of which will probably now be lost forever. Whoever the owner/administrator is he must have felt for whatever reason that was that and closed the site. Real shame and I guess not many folk will ever know the real reasons behind it allReal shame IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wasn't actually trying to start and argument about which is better, which is worth more etc etc. There will always be those that favour one over the other. The quotes are merely from what Mike Wood said years ago after a debate on another well known forumFor me if you find a Type R in poor condition and a P1 in good condition, you will pick the P1 and vice versa, or you will move on until you find the car you wantPersonally I think whether the car is jap spec or UK spec, the condition will now dictate the price as the cars get older and there are less of them. Hammer prices in Japan are on the up for high grade rarer cars and that's a fact. In some cases the good quality cars are being re imported. IM weren't allowed to import the jap spec cars for mass market distribution, so homologated cars for the UK were developed. For example you cant buy a UK Turbo 2000 in Japan and that car was watered down over the equivalent JAP WRX. The only exception to this were the 16 UK 22B cars, but that was prior to the import laws being lifted in 1999. The UK 22B was a 1998 car.For the record bought a Type R because that's what I wanted. If I'd wanted a P1 I would have bought one and I guess that's true for P1 owners buying them over Type R's When did you turn into a diplomat Steve? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Doc+ Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dont need to justify having a actual official super car 'P1' the owners of them know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Doc+ Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Oh and to address the topic, the P1WOC was being accused of having over zealous mods and over moderation.A few of the old scool members decided to start their own forum P1OC as a way to have unmoderated fun on forums. Consequently the P1WOC owners decided it was pointless carrying on for some reason and shut it.However this has now been passed over to another club member and will be back online soon!The joys eh?

forest4ever Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I`m lead to believe that a car is classed as a supercar if it (don`t quote me on this)1 - can do over 150mph2 - can reach 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr northants Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 What and a p1 does 0 to 60 under 5 ?? Yeah on a perfect launch on a perfect day with minimal slip etc .
