according to the latest motor magz the type-s does 0-100km in 7.46s and they say it's faster than the type-r 7.75sec.
that's a bit odd i thought the type-r does 0-100km in 6.93sec

you beat a gen3 V8 on a rolling start with a 2L????? i gotta say the V8 driver didnt know you were racing him coz otherwise, he would of left you behind. no offence, i love my dc2r but that is a bit over rated dont you think?? skylines rb25det with a few mods will leave a type r with similar mods behind too. turbo cars with a front mount would be a challenge for a stock dc5r to beat. im not having a go at you and if you have beatin the cars you said you have then congrats. oh and by the way 300+ nm from low as 3.5k verses just under 200nm over 5.5k..........4g93 will leave a k20 behind in a roling start, drags, you might have top range, but by the time the evo is on the gear above yours. stock form, they crack 13s. from sound of thing have you ever driven a turbo car?? your nick says something about boost?......instant boost is sometimes hard to beat especially on a rolling start. im talking about the evo8. and other turbo cars. rolling start with a V8......lets not go there.Quote:

Catcha If you think a wrx will beat a DC5R then i would love to pull up next to you rolling start or give you a run around a track. We would see how good your WRX is then.
No doubt everyone will call bullshit but these are just a few of the cars that their owners have had the smile wiped off there face when they see the tail lights of my R
haha yeah they are 'restricted' to 206kw, more like 206kwatw:)Quote:

It was never a regulation about keeping it to 206kw.It was a gentlemans agreement.The GTR,Supra,evo's,sti spec c all made more then 206 from factory.Quote:

Lets see how many ppl on here besides Sang actually own a DC5R???
The GenIII i raced was a SV8 commodore i think they are around 225 or 245kw at the fly, take into consideration the weight of a commodore vs a integra and it is pretty even. I raced it off the lights and he knew i was racing i really dont think he would accelerate to double the speed limit if he wasn't racing do you??? I agree a V8 would kill me once got to like 150kph+ but u have to get the 1800kgs moving first.
I have driven a number of skylines, mates 2000 STi, few v8's, etc. Not saying i would kill every one of the above mentioned models of cars, but i have beat those types of cars and they were racing. What gian do i get out of big noting myself on a public forum??? None what so ever, i posted what i said because it is the truth from my own experiences. Most of the above kills i have had a passenger who will confirm the kills aswell.
Anyway i sick of argueing with all the know it alls on here when none of you have probably ever driven a DC5R let aloned owned 2!!
Why have you owned 2?

Sometimes im not sure if the other car wants to run so i take off slowly from the lights but the other car guns it. No way i can catch up after that type of start. Not disrespecting your stories though..if its true, then good work!
ps i also own a dc5r
mind you the VY SV8 is a lightweight version of the VY SS, hence they are quicker then the SS. its the same story with the 200sx spec s and the spec r :DQuote:
