Stivo VS Rx8 VS 180sx

[ZEEROLLA]

Stivo stands a chance against an RX8, i remember my Stivo in 4th gear pulling away slightly from an RX8 Type S (manual) hot on my rear bumper.. plus they haven't got much torque down low so on the track the Stivo will be punchier out of corners. Their gear ratios are also too wide, worse than our C64 6 speed.

Turbo cars i think we should forget it when we talk drags, we have to be realistic. Your mate just needs to tweak the boost up a couple of psi with a $50 boost controller and not let u know :P his 3inch exhaust and pod filter would have naurally raised his boost a psi or 2 higher anyway so there is no contest really. Stock for stock maybe closer. But it will be a much closer contest at the track, not drags.

if its a STOCK grey import 180SX i think you might stand a chance because the SR20DET are quite old and wouldn't be anywhere close to optimal condition, turbo engines also tend to lose more power compared to NA engines over time so a 10 year old SR20DET could well be on its last leg, coughing up black smoke everytime you floor it (and its common sight). People that mod these grey imports better have spare cash lying around because i can't see these engines hanging around long when the boost is played with.

No hope for the sportivo against most turbo cars.

Best bet is for a win would be against a CA18 Auto 180.

I find it funny to think all you guys talk about the peak power, but think through it all...

a.) Peak power on the sportivo is high up, where as on the turbo cars it is generally in the mid range of revs.

b.) Torque. Look at the torque on a sportivo compared to any other car. Need I say more? The cars are good, but not that good.

I have always remembered the saying, power sells cars, torque wins races...

Hahaha

[JunTao]

SIF Sportivo can beat the Rx8 and 180.........

by the way KaZe cant drive for **** he stalls like a mofo. :)

[RedLiner]

One thing im always scared of in my Sportivo...

is the shift from 1st into 2nd...the gear just doesnt want to go in...

unless i shift at 6000rpm.....

which means no lift really..sometimes works a little higher at 7000rpm...

shifting any higer than that...forget it...

this shifting problem means im screwed at takeoff.....so i get blown either way..
