MegaGTS4 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Someone lost to a toyota corolla sportivo in a R32 GTS-t, so who is the clown? Here is the thread: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=1486 Damn what kind of a name is the Skyline going to get after a NA four can beat it?

someonestolecc Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 heh. It must be his exhaust. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/58635-ok-so-who-is-the-one-who-lost-2-a-sportivo/#findComment-1122907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech_ Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/58635-ok-so-who-is-the-one-who-lost-2-a-sportivo/#findComment-1122914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wylie Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 the sportivos must be heaps less gay than the normal corollas then.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/58635-ok-so-who-is-the-one-who-lost-2-a-sportivo/#findComment-1122917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dojobi Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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.

nmcmahon83 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 R32s weigh about the same and have 160 odd kw... plus a shit load more torque id imagine... Interesting sotry though.

dojobi Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 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...

joh21m Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i think if the r32 didnt launch then it'd b a close one, driver skill would play a big factor!

dojobi Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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.

someonestolecc Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 So does that mean a turbo'ed or blown sportivo would be quite the hunter?

r33skylinegtst Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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.

pentae Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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?
