Well Ive raced bot RL's and TypeR's from digs...I think the RL picks up pretty fast (faster then typeR teg) but top end the integra type-R pulled faster then the RL...i own a stock 06 tC (manual because automatics arent made for racing around here)...I know tC's get owned by both of them but can you guys plzz tell me which is faster???rsx-S,RL,CobaltSS, or integra type-R???
Those would all be driver's races.
I've raced an RSX-S. He got the jump, so I stayed at his door, and I only pulled to neck-and-neck when we got into third. If I had gotten the jump and shifted well, I'd keep ahead.
The Cobalt SS is essentianly the same as my RL, just a bit more pricey and with heavier wheels. Again, whoever gets the jump.
My good friend has a Teg type-R. We've messed around a lot. From a dig, I almost always beat him. In 1st, I find power at 2,500 rpm or so, which builds until I hit redline and gotta shift into second. He might gain some as I need to shift sooner, but 2nd gear in the RL/Cobalt SS is quick. But you're right, they, the Teg, pull hard. Just as I'm hitting my redline, he's finding his power. Plus the Teg weighs like 300 pounds less. From a roll, I can pull on him. And, generally, because I get the jump, he can't make up the difference even if his redline's 2000rpm higher.
You should include the WRX in that list, too. I've raced three or four. From a dig, no chance. Their AWD really makes em take off. But they trap at like 92, 93 in the 1/4. The AWD system really saps power. So, from a roll, I have no issues. 5-6 mph might not seem like a lot, but from a 40mph drop, the RL/SS can keep pulling.
You might even include a last gen Mustang GT, without any insane mods (intake and exhaust wouldn't count). Again, from a dig, the RL/SS can hang right in there. From a roll, same thing. The new Mustangs, no way....but the older ones, sure. Again, they have RWD, which sucks a lot of power. The RL/SS consistently put down 200+ hp and 190+ tq to the wheels. I forget a GTs stock hp/torque, but I think the RWD system saps something like 20% of the power listed.
(But the stangs sure sound cooler getting up to speed, no doubt about that. My supercharger might sound cool, but my exhaust is akin to an angry wasp, the stang's, I dunno, a boar or something)
But, for all those you listed, whoever gets a good launch from a dig. The WRX is probably the easiest to launch, and they have no wheel spin. The RL/SS are almost all spin in 1st if you go WOT, and find traction and go hard in second.
