Which do ya think would win it, stock for stock?

Funklord

a MKIII supra turbo is slightly faster than an s4 turbo, and about equal with an s5 turbo. they have more power potential too, but cant even come close in cornering ability.

thanks.... I was thinking about getting a supra, but it would be more expensive, plus I like the rx body style better. Wankels are cool too. Something different for a change.

It annoys me when people say the S5 is faster then the S4. The S5 is more HP, but the S4 is lighter.. Stock they are the exact same 1/4 mile numbers.

dammit, that **** annoys me 2.

I would imagine it would be to close to call. All comes down to the drivers....

M5150

the S5 looks faster tho

gsracer

and heavier

wouldn't mind their turbo/mannifold though

Funklord

she s5 has a faster 0-60

You can't directly compare performance times that were most likely taken at completely different times and places and with different drivers. Consider the fact that both power/weight and torque/weight ratios improved, plus some reductions in rotating mass, and it's more likely that back-to-back the S5 was slightly faster than the S4.

i have an 87 t2 and my friend has an 88 mkiii turbo. i can beat him off the line because i'm a better driver, but we did some highway runs and he pulled on me every time. he had a fresh j-spec and i had a tired 170k engine, but i also had a dp/mp. and his was bone stock

7m-gte is the single turbo 3.0 L supra engine right?

stock for stock...I think the supra should win.

which supra is that? the ones that look like an overweight fc, or the nice newer ones(like in that movie that everyone has seen)

Overweight FC...

wpgrexx

really, i have never raced one, but have heard from other people that have driven them, all said that they were way too heavy. did some of them come without turbos. how much do they weigh, 225 hp isn't it.

You need to look over those #s.. the GSL-SE was faster then most of the second gen RX-7s


it had almost the same power and weighed a few hundred pounds less

Hey, I didnt make the chart .. I just found the chart. But all the charts i have read about stock RX #'s had the S4 & S5 being the same by the end of the quarter mile.

But hell what do I care .. my car is nowhere near stock.

3L inline Six.
N/A : 200 hp 188 lb-ft 3459 lbs
Turbo : 230 hp 246 lb-ft. 3530 lbs

Those numbers went up a tiny bit in the latter years of the Mark III...

VetteKiller

ROFL at those numbers, they're quite optimistic for 2nd gen cars. I have yet to see a bone stock s4 TII run mid 14s with decent driver... I could be wrong though.

Wow I wish my n/a s5 would run 15.3
