Reah the rules

 

Where are these rules at??

 

He's probably referring to the Racing Forum rules, which state:

DON'T ASK US IF WE THINK YOU'LL WIN. This is the "racing" forum, not the, "will I beat X, with these hekka mods on my car", or, "how would these cars do against each other?", forum. - Sam

While that's just one sub-division of the Driving & Driving Tech Forums, those guidlines are generally accepted throughout. Still, I think you're within your rights in asking this question here... :dunno:

 

i dont know how accurate this is but try this link

what link?

 

shank..you forgot the link homie'

Oh I see it... NOT!!

:doh: its there now

Yes, theoretically. Most of these cars are 4Cyl. With the stock GT and GTS making 200 to 210 hp, the 3G would win. But, the Tiberon GT is actually in the class and a lower lighter in weight, so you may have trouble with it. I have personally embarassed rsx's, civics, celicas, and integras with slight modifications. The only problem I found is the torque steer pulling off the line. Secondly, you must take into account the driver. The fastest car doesn't always win.

 

But, the Tiburon GT is actually in the class and a lower lighter in weight, so you may have trouble with it.

I've had more trouble with cavaliers than with a Tibby, they are sloooooooowwwwwwww ::ghey3:

 

true

 

thats all i want to know thank you .

 

lol the 2.4L 5spd cavalier would run circles around the tibby stock v stock.

 

But, are you saying a Tiberon GT (V6) is slower than a 4 cyl.

No, I would never say something like that [/sarcasm]



The Cavy Z24 would give you just as good a run as the Tiburon for sure, but you still shouldn't have much trouble with it at all.

 

ive raced a cavalier once, didnt know they were faster then my 2.4 RS. its pretty emberasing watching one of those pull away on ya.

 

the 3g is slow too

 

good call :bigthumb:

 

if the integra is a gsr, it is possible to pull you. All the cars are slow anyway including an 3g. I mean its like a bunch of mid15-16 sec cars racing. woo woo

 

It all depends on how fat the driver is.

:retard:

 

I'm only 160lbs so I have an edge on all those lazy asses that only sit on their cars and drive. :fawk:

 

but stock RS 5 speed will loose to most of these cars. compared to a stock gt 3g that will beat them, yes we arnt driving race cars but it is nice to win a race everyonce and a while haha.

 

depends, back when my RS was NA with just an intake and a muffler, I would beat a lot of GT's. I ran mid 15s and that is very rare.

 

Gearing has nothing to do with the overall power required... Gearing is just what it takes to get that power to the wheels.

Here's how you figure it out:

x = 1/2at^2 <- solve for a. t is your target time.
the
F = ma <- compute F with the a you got from above and the mass of the car.

W = Fd <- the distance (x) in the first equation is the d in this one.

P = W/t <- put in the W from above and your target t.

I converted everything to metric to make it easier (standard SI units are so much easier to work with), and then just converted the P from Watts back to HP.

 

Ah well I dont know any equations and such, but my experience is that shorter gears, such as a 4.10:1, are much quicker than taller gears, such as the 2.93:1 rear end.

So you are saying that the final drive doesnt affect the 1/4 mile time and as long as the vehicle has 163.5 whp and weighs 2900 it will run close to 15.5 regardless of the ratio?

Sorry I just dont understand, I apologize.

 

I thought that taller gears would lose more power since peak power is not achieved through the whole powerband. No car runs at its top HP rate through all the powerband.

 

Those equations tell you what you need at the wheels... how you get it is another story.

 

Alright I understand now. Thanks. I was just a little unclear.
