    All-motor vs S/C vs Turbo

    Hey guys, just saw this on another site & I'm not sure if its been done before on here...contemplate 3 similar-spec'ed Civics all with around 200 horses with appplications implementing all-motor, supercharged and turbo...how would they fare against each other on the track & on the quarter...torque would be relative to the application involved...

    Some considerations to ponder...
    1. The N/A would no doubt have the least torque amongst them so would this permit it to have a better take-off than the other two due to less wheelspin?
    2. Would the supercharged Civic have the best low-down torque?
    3. Would lag prove to be a hurdle for the turbo Civic?
    4. The powerband wouldn't be as broad in an all-motor so could this hinder its outcome?
    5. The track could prove to be the all-motor's best chance to win but in a straight line the other two would have the advantage?

    Obviously variables such as driver ability & traction may necessitate discussion but we'll reflect on those later...this is moreso a query on application...welcoming all opinions & views...

    Your talking about 200horses, what wheelspin? the turbo will own the other 2 and spank them back to the gay mardi gras in sydney

    2. Would the supercharged Civic have the best low-down torque?

    when u say low down what area of rpm do u mean? if ur talking about 1k rpms then fair enough if ur taklking about 2000 rpms teh turbo will murder them both (considering taht its only 200horses reltative turbo sizing)

    3. Would lag prove to be a hurdle for the turbo Civic?

    if 500 rpms of lag is that huge a hrudle for a 200hp car, then u launch like my lil cousin does on the tricycle with pink handlebars and streamers (poweredbyhonda is that cousin)

    4. The powerband wouldn't be as broad in an all-motor so could this hinder its outcome?

    at 200hp, the na car's only advantage is the petrol consumtion and the throttle response, as the BSFC is lower than the other 2

    5. The track could prove to be the all-motor's best chance to win but in a straight line the other two would have the advantage?

    at 200hp the all motor advantage is taking grandma to the bakery for freshly baked cookies and milk. On the track the other 2 cars will maul him, cirucit, drag, traffic light

    Obviously variables such as driver ability & traction may necessitate discussion but we'll reflect on those later...this is moreso a query on application...welcoming all opinions & views...

    You will find if you do some searching on the forums, this topic has been discussed a many times.

    It comes down to driver preference, and what floats your boat.

    Heres the link to the Search Feature

    Dare I say you are making reference to the massive difference in torque......

    So you think 350 ponies in a boosted CRX is adequate to keep up with some cars then hehe...
