CarlT67 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Wow, thats fast and crazy how much it bounces around through the gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and1c Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just goes to show, the ability to rev to high RPM and 3 litres displacement have triumphed over a 3.4s low end torque in this instance at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 He was in 4th when he went over the line, so either has a very special diff or enormous rev limit (probably both!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just goes to show, the ability to rev to high RPM and 3 litres displacement have triumphed over a 3.4s low end torque in this instance at least Perhaps the extra torque a 3.4 provides, used with a 6spd makes the initial launch easier? Once you have traction then more is more, hence yanks with 8 litre twin turbos running 6's and 7's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with IRS though and pound to a penny most 6 or 7 second cars are not a street car in any sense of the word. Fastest 'street' legal car I have seen was a TT mustang in the low 7's at 180mph ish....however it would overheat if it got stuck in a traffic jam Let's be honest, although I'm slightly bias there's very very few (if any) cars that can touch a monster Supra that can also go round a corner pretty well and then still make the drive home from the races Like these guys...

and1c Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Except TT Vipers which are IRS and very potent indeed when done right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
