The GST has 210hp, 214tq and it's about 2900lb and FWD
It's not that hard to figure, that the 250lb less, and the RWD could easily make the HP difference it would take to win.
I could walk any FWD car off the line (both running street tires). That ALWAYS gives me a huge advantage.
I've seen a Type R run a 15.5 @LACR (don't remember speed), it only has exhaust and a CAI.
I've ran 14.4@101 at LACR. My SR isn’t "stock" though although it's stock boost, I have 3in down pipe, and full 3in exhaust, FMIC, and a K&N.
well if you are running your sr20det at stock boost and running 14.4 @101 then i dont think you know how to drive chief and a type-r running a 15.5 is believable considering the amount of overweight italian males that seem to buy them around me.
im not impressed by the type-r in straighline acceleration because my car is faster than it
but im also not impressed with your numbers either, what was your 60' time?
your trap speed is a little high for 14.4
although i do not deny the overall build quality and superior engineering that went into the b18c5
and while we are comparing nissans and hondas why dont we talk about the skyline versus the NSX.
ever seen driftworks 3? an NSX shits on a GT-R on a semi technical track, in fact the GT-R spins out behind the NSX cause he doesnt have the suspension engineering honda does.
and the NSX is NA
