Purely in terms of bhp/ton, it doesn't look likely. If it weighs, say, 1350kg then it has a bhp/ton of 248. Most cars that are achieving 0-60 in 4 seconds or thereabouts seem to have a ratio considerably greater than this:

 

e.g.

AC212 S/C.....375 0-60 in 4.0

Westfield SEIGHT club.....296 " " " 4.0

Noble M12 GTO...........321 " " " 4.1

Viper GTS-R.................362 " " " 4.0

 

Of course, this isn't taking into account lots of other variables, and, to be fair, there are a few cars that are achieving similar figures with lower ratios (e.g. 911 turbo 276 bhp/ton).

paul, that was my point too. he says he has a piece of paper to prove it, whether its to prove 336bhp, or this "4 sec" i dont know, I'm still waiting for it.

 

Apparently he ran a 13.5 1/4 mile at the last jap meet at the pod (i think) and he recond he was beating supras with over 450 bhp.

 

:baa:

They must have been crap drivers then ;)

 

I've done 13.12 with less than 400, and I know it's capable of better.

i was reading the new jap mag or was it bonzai yesterday. anyhow, the new subaru 330bhp odd according to their figures does the 0-60 sprint in 4.2 secs. they rated it better than the mitsi 8 fq300, which was only 300bhp.

 

anyhow, watching the totb2 dvd given away with redline or revs, the sups werent managing very impressive 1/4 miles..... not the ones they showed anyway.

The gear ratio's mybe different on the new car. If is normal 0-60 is 5.8 there is no way he will cut a third off that time with only 100 BHP and no weight loss.

 

Tell him he is so gei he should be drivin a Nova. he's putting Scooby owners to shame:cool:

Oi Steve - read me post :p the one above yours :p

 

"close ratio gearbox" Or at least all previous RA Impreza's had it. Its had revised ports and manifold too etc, so very diff from the standard car.

 

;)

Ah yes but technically just becuase it has a close ratio gearbox it doesn't mean the gears ratio's are made lower for better accleration:p

 

But I see what you mean, I didn't read your post properly:stupid:

how does he know he racing 450 bhp supras and beating them?

i dont know what power i have but just say 380-400 when running 1bar on sticky tyres did a 11.962 with a 1.7 60foot. that sure feels quick off the mark.

 

talking to a guy from aus who does a lot of drag racing and builds skyline engines. he says a 1.7 60foot is about 4 seconds

 

maybe you should arrange him to have a race with some supras see how many he beats.

 

i have lined up with evo before and beat him then lined up with him again and he did not want to race. beat lots of scoobies on street tyres.

 

i would not say scoobies are a crap car. they look a fun car. been in a wrx sti 5 ra or some name. sure was rapid off the mark driven hard.
