Childish who would win style thread?

[MikeGlanzaV]

Yes before anyone says anything these kind of threads are very childish totally hypothetical and depend more on the driver blah blah blah however :-

Based on a quarter mile challenge which would expect to win between my car :-

1996 Toyota GlanzaV 1.3 Turbo.
HKS induction kit, HKS exhaust with ZEP decat,

and his car :-

1994 MK3 VR6 2.8 V6
Decat Exhaust system
Forced air induction kit (Ramair)
Estimated power : 190ish BHP - 180ftlb of torque

Just a friendly discussion here at work, nothing serious.

vr6

 

[HYBRID]

whats the weight of the vr6?

 

[MAD_MO]

i recon it would be a close race mate. vr6's aint all that. ive had queit a few

 

[59bhp]

my brothers got a golf vr6 so will prob race and find out soon (on a track, imo, blah blah blah)

 

[CaL]

vr6 would nail you after 60-80mph....on a track of course

 

[MikeGlanzaV]

whats the weight of the vr6?

1180kg Vr6 weight.

Yes we guessed that. looking more at 1/4 mile stuff really.

 

[HYBRID]

1180kg Vr6 weight.

hmm thats about 260kgs heavier than ur v.. id say its a pretty close race as ur bhp per tonne is higher...

 

[59bhp]

its tricky coz both have around 150 bhp/tonne

having been in both i think as soon as you get to about 85-90 the vr6 would pull away but up until then im not sure, we have a 20quid bet on it so next time were at york or santa pod ill let u know the outcome

 

[b0t13]

i think itll be close, with the starlet winning to about 80, then the vr6 will start to pull away once it reaches higher speeds..

 

[Dave.]

you'd beat it off the mark, but he'd close in a LOT before the end of the 1/4 mile, i honestly think you'd beat him tho

obvo not on top end, but on a 1/4 mile, yes

 

[b0t13]

does the starlet die off because of its engine size once it gets passed 60?

 

[Dave.]

i wouldn't say 60, but definetely from 80 onwards, it begins to slug noticable (not to say slow lol, that would be a complete lie - but not half as fast as 60 arrives!)

 

[gavcollier]

Close race tbh

 

[Guye]

does the starlet die off because of its engine size once it gets passed 60?

It's not really the 1.3 engine, but the stock ct9 turbo that runs out of puff at higher speeds.

It seems like they concur on the VR6 forum

don't know too much about them really, can you explain? They do sound nice.

 

[CaL]

they sound lovely....the engines are developed well and are very reliable and strong...the pistons are facing in a arkward way not in the usual 'V' posision....
