Damn what kind of a name is the Skyline going to get after a NA four can beat it?

[silver gts-t]

there shit talkers on every forum, u get used to it after a while

[someonestolecc]

heh.

It must be his exhaust.

[leech_]

pfft i would hardly believe that maybe on the slight chance a dodgy driver plus an n/a r32 but i doubt a turbo'd car would lose to a sportivo

[wylie]

the sportivos must be heaps less gay than the normal corollas then..

[Driver]

i got beatn by a 95model xr6 once

ohh the shame, i dont know why, my car just didnt go!

[dojobi]

I don't know, those VVTL-i engines are pretty nice, and R32s aren't that quick. It's quite possible I reckon. They're only around 1200kg or so and they've got 141kW.

[silver gts-t]

dont they have a 100kw engine?

[nmcmahon83]

R32s weigh about the same and have 160 odd kw... plus a shit load more torque id imagine... Interesting sotry though.

[dojobi]

dont they have a 100kw engine?

Nah, that's the base model with the 1ZZ-FE, these ones we're talking about have the 2ZZ-GE with 141kW. His one had an exhaust, so probably had up near 150kW.

Unless the R32 was stock, the Corolla probably wouldn't win, but I still reckon it's not quite as unbelievable as everyone's saying.

[MegaGTS4]

The sportivos have 100kw at the wheels, and the 2zz-ge engine is designed by yamaha with VVTL-i, and the one in question had mods done to it, but still... I would never have lost to a N/A car, maybe a lambo or a ferrari...All i can say is the guy in the skyline got OWNED by a corolla...

[Driver]

yes, it could be very tru, you also never know who can drive and who cant.

[joh21m]

i think if the r32 didnt launch then it'd b a close one, driver skill would play a big factor!

[dojobi]

I just had a look at the specs of a 92 R32 - it's 1320kg with 158kW and 264Nm torque. The Sportivo weighs 1224 kg and has 141kW and has 180Nm torque.

That's quite a difference in torque, but the weight difference is almost 100kg.

So does that mean a turbo'ed or blown sportivo would be quite the hunter?

yep it sure does look that way

[r33skylinegtst]

Was the R32 even trying? i had some guy in a Prelude try and race me cause i took my first gear change pretty quick, think he got the wrong idea. i just let him go, he had his girl in the car and we where next to a police station. he can have his 5 mins of fame.

[silver gts-t]

untill it blows up

[pentae]

Go the corolla with its sporty VTI engine!

Pity its fwd.

Why is it that its completely acceptable for these fwd na 4cyl ricers to race everything they see, yet anyone with a turbo who likes the odd squirt is told to calm the f**k down?

Does anyone else understand this?

[yogi000]

i dunno, i find it hard to believe.........but i've been embarassed by shit boxes a few times....just cant get that friken clutch right.
