i have owned 2 fc's one i sold the other got lost and ran into a tree with me in it, bye bye car and almost me. anyway i'm in the market for a new car at the moment and of course i need another fc. at the same time i want something fast and affordable.

my real question is this.... could a fc TII beat a 90-93 talon tsi AWD, this assuming they have the same amount of mods

i ask this because as much as i want another fc, it is so much easier for me to find cheaper low miled TSI's and its hard for me to find a good cheap low miled fc.

peace, nick

 

You've owned two Fc's you say. Well, go drive a TSi, and then you'll have your anwser.

This is an Fc forum. Guess at what we'll say.

 

hey i know its an fc forum dosen't mean you can't be honest with youself. i love fc's just because its a fc forum doesn't mean fc's can't be beat or there is nothing better

 

Define "beat"...

AWD gives the Talon the edge in the launching department.

The piston motor will have more torque down low.

The RX-7 will pull harder to redline.

AWD makes the Talon a lot more stable platform, especially in inclement weather.

The RX-7 has the better suspension and brakes.

Building an 11-second AWD Talon drag car is relatively cheap.

Building a high 12-second FC turbo is relatively cheap.

i think the fc would get a talon any day but im just a stupid newbie

 

Talon's are probably the cheapest car to speed up. The same amount of money into both, and the Talon will kill the FC. I hate it, but it's the truth. I'd still never buy a talon because they're ugly and crappy IMO.

 

i think it was a 93? but i know it was turbo, both stock to stock TSI vs T2, i rapped him really bad, freeway battle, 4WD only good for launches because their fat bastards they won't pull as hard, i wouldn't mind getting TSi/GSX though, to me their very nice, not very nimble through the turns, even though i'm a hardcore drag racing person, i perfer some handling because i'm a street car.

But the **** is that T2 turbo has hybrids also, which is capable for about 320hp? theres alot of direct fit (stock manifold) for DSMs for 400+ hp, i would get me a 1g DSM but im soo into the rotary **** you wouldn't believe, and a little to brainwashed to learn something new.
