gen4 vs. gen5

[n/a]

hey guys i heard that a gen4 would chop a gen5 lude, both VTI-R.. true? or not true?

[azjs]

True - in the fact that the 4th Gen VTiR had slightly shorter gear ratios, and weighs slightly less than the 5G counterpart. However, the 5G makes up in weight with it's addded rigdity and stability around corners, superior to 4G.

yea.. i know it as the gen4 has more kws than the gen5.

like to see them go at it.

[94vtirozguy]

the 5th gen has a few more than the 4th gen.

4th gen VTIR = 190HP, 5th gen vtir = 200hp. So the 5th gen has a few more kw.

[bigteethygrin]

but isnt the gen 5 heavier?

[McChook]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaay heavier, but the torque differnce makes up for it. I chopped a 4th gen on the way home up alfords point road.. i suspect the driver of the 4thgen was helping by driving an auto, but I might be wrong

[azjs]

Cool another shire folk! :P

I wouldn't say the 5th is that much heavier though...

[McChook]

there's a good 75kgs. Auto 5th Gens are 55kgs heavier again

I tried to follow you home tonight, but you were too slow bro... and going to hurstville...

[azjs]

Hehehe, can you tell that I'm a tame driver?

[McChook]

Yeah... which is kool...

[totti]

i thought all gen4 vtir's were manaul? can anyone confirm??

[civex98]

I can confirm that they aren't!
there are a few JDM gen 4-vtir's that are going around..and one i know of is definitely auto...so yeah..but you can tell that they are jdm from the jdm front lights (one piece) and a rear wiper usually.
