Supernova_228 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm curious as to whether a rotrex'd Gen 7 would be able to keep up with a standard GT4 on straight line acceleration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spectre Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 You'd have to be running lsd and in the high 300s or low 400 bhp just to keep up I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyTurd Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would be interested to see the result I think the GT4 will launch off from a dig and gain a few car lengths were I think it would hold it maybe the G7 closing up near the end. As a Celica fan of all gens I would love to see the result. I think it's important to remember that the G7 was never made for speed but being a superb FWD car so maybe seeing what the chassis'a are capable of as well would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex_GTS Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I think by the time the 7 gets traction the gt4 will be in boost in second gear, from there with the spin through the gears on the front wheels I don't think the 7 would catch up. From a roll it'd be interesting but the power/weight would be in the 7's favour so you couldn't have rotrex vs stock. Would be interesting to see. I've seen the GT4's launch, and if you give no damn for the clutch, that thing will tear away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I know what you mean about the traction ,if the roads are damp at 75mph in 3rd gear the proxes will light up if you give her the gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serratia Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) GT4 is 25% heavier than the Gen 7 so I think a Rotrex Gen 7 in the dry with an LSD would have the GT4 from standing start or rolling start. I'd even like to think I'd have a chance at 247bhp and a weight 1145kg. Whats the power of a stock GT4? I'm pretty sure they weigh about 1440kg.

Bumblebee Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 On UK fuel imports and UK make same power. A stock 205 will easily do 0-60 mid 5's from my vid I start rolling around the 4sec mark and make 60 at 9 secs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy1976 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just remember - if you put the money that it costs to SC a 7 with the associated stuff like better brakes , LSD ect you would have a seriously sorted GT4. Totally different cars at end of day - one was made to cheat in the WRC other was designed as a entry level coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova_228 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I should have been more specific, i know from a standing start the gt4 would kick ass, I'm wondering from a rolling start, rotrex'd 190 vs stock gt4, say 30-100 mph straight line, would the gen 7 be able to keep up?

Bumblebee Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) i could have bought a well sorted one for what this has cost me but hey ho we are all different , and standstill to a ton is about 10 secs , not too bad for an entry level coupe lol ( M3 territory ) Edited September 21, 2013 by Bumblebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy1976 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 But it was designed as a entry level coupe - these SC'd cars are far from stock and are doing things the 7 was never intended to do.I take my hat off to the people that have gone this route but if i was doing it all again id just buy a car with a nice big v8 and have none of these 4 cylinder machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
