which n/a cars are faster??

[dan the man]

smething in similar bracket.. 2 doors or 4, 4 seats etc with same capacity engine.. DC5 has it all covered.

VX220 standard are not, my mate was gutted on saturday when i crept away down the straight at elvington :lol:
Also an S2K there and im sure i had the edge too all the way down the straight..but it was close.

clios nah, meganes have a turbo as do golfs and astras and focus's, but the DC5 will prob suprice all of them 8)

is it just me or do other people get approached convinced that you have a turbo under the hood. Such a great feeling saying no its N/A

 

[spo_gen]

Advanced driving skillz can add at least 50+bhp to a car. Plus its so much cheaper.

Oh right, so my standard DC5 is actually the fastest one on here, nice one 8)

i got that on sunday at elvington, "is it a turbo", no mate, "supercharger?" no mate, just honda's 2 litres, "must be four wheel drive then!!", no mate, FWD with a 2.0l n/a engine, "Wow!!" :wink:

on paper the celica 189bhp engine seems to be good.

on paper

On paper the DC5 has 220bhp at the wheels, and we all know thats not how it is, so paper means nothing tbh

On paper the DC5 has 220 PS At the flywheel!!

I thought manufacturers always gave power out of the wheels :?
As where i work we calculate power from flywheel and subtract power loss through components leading to the wheels from info given, but the japs could do it differently

 

[Tim_85]

Yeah and I thought Tarmac would be a better surface to test power.
No traction on paper :lol:

No they don't :|

 

[Project]

Then how come they release the bhp figure instead of the ps/hp figure, im sure bhp is only used when talking about power at the wheels?

 

[gixer750]

i think 220 ps is about 200bhp, the bigger numbers are what buyers see and it soon becomes '220 bhp at the wheels' by the time they reach the pub :wink:

 

[spo_gen]

220PS equates to about 217BHP

Conversion tables: 1.0 Japanese PS = 0.98632 BHP

 

[AndyBITR]

ps is German. Basically it was just a different measurement of work done using a slightly smaller horse. :lol: Hence why PS measurement is slightly higher than BHP!!

 

[benny]

who cares really,
all that matter is when it matters tegs are the best ,

So PS stands for Pony-Small version ? :lol:
