delsol faster than EK4 ??

[tRipitaka]

ok, the EM1, EK4 and delsol all share the same engine, b16a2 right ?
and they weigh:

EM1 = 1114kg
delsol = 1114kg
EK4 = 1131kg

the power:weight ratio should be the same on both EM1 and delsol, and slightly worse on the EK4..

then why do people call delsols, delslows, when logically, they're faster than EK4s ?

[SINISTR]

Because they get beaten by EGs hahaha!!!

same chassis type I guess...

[**Ghost**]

they call em delslows cos it rhymes

[sesshoumaru]

because in the US not all del sols came with b16a's. in fact most didn't.

oh and they're slow.

lol....yeah most del sols have sohc engines.

Are them weights rights???? I always thought EK4 was lighter than the EM1.

[AF1]

EM1 is lighter than the EK4??
Is the EK4 built with a stronger body or sumthing? Where is the extra 17kg from? (not that its a big deal, just wanna know since the EK is smaller)

For 1.6L I think they are all quick. I call them del slow's cause its funny.

NOTE:

All GEN3 CRX's (Del-Sol's) sold in AUSTRALIA were B16A2's.

European, Asian and USA markets recieved both DOHC and SOHC varients.

Because "logically" people compare a car with its abilities on the track as it is most likely to have all the dynamics of the vehicle tested.

Throw 3 stock versions on a track with the same driver and come back and tell me which one is quicker.
