Rx7 vs Evo"s

[rx7ben]

Would a 340bhp Rx7 imbarass  most of the Evo"s out there. I havent ever driven a evo so i dont no what there like.  My dad had a Evo 6 makkinem eddition before i was old enough to drive and i remember that being  quick.

ive had a evo 4 running 325bhp, its hard to say would that kind of rx would leave and play with the evo due to the driver and road!, 0-100 there wouldnt be ne thing in it, over 120 the rx7 would pull away, evos are good for 145/150 all day and get there quick! straight line the rx7 would win but cornering no way the evo will paste u! be carefull!

[rx7ben]

I dont plan on chasing any EVO"s round corners :Giggle
 
What evo did you have was it one of the older one"s tuned
or was it one of those FQ"s

Sorry my bad not paying attention Evo 4 :xconfused:xconfused

i had a 1996 evo 4, uprated the brakes, exhaust and boost controller, on the rolling road it was 324bhp. there was no lag and the turbo didnt drop off at all, only good for 150mph though, cornered so well u wouldnt believe but nothing compared to a drive of a rx7 tail end happy!

Are you running similar power on your Rex.
 
I wanted to ask as my brothers got a Impreza and it gets to 100mph really really quick but then it slows down so i didnt no if the EVO"s were simillar

All these versus battles are a waste of time, it all comes down to the driver at the end of the day, I disagree with the EVo will leave an RX7 through the corner rubbish, a good driver in both cars they should be equal in fact EVOs suffer from understeer ultimately.
If you see those touge battles vids the RX7 always seems to have the edge round the corners.
The fact is an EVO is easier to drive quicker then the RX7 given average driving skills in both, thats why EVOs seem quicker through corners

Yes this is very true driver skill is a big impact.
For arguement sake lets just say straight line power.
Im just trying to get an idea of where my car stacks up againsts other cars.
 
I did do one of them new Porshe cayene s (least thats what i think its called the one in between the Boxter and the 911

I had an EVO 5 before the RX7 tramlined like hell,changed suspension & had 3 lots of geometry done never sorted it out much happier straight or corners in the 7,power wise the EVO was 279 atw RX is 305 atw but the EVO was definately quicker off the start

[fil_auto]

That\'ll be one of those Porsche Cayman\'s then and not Porsche Cayenne - that be the 4x4 big boy, I\'ve got more money than sense fridge looking things.. hahaha - IMO!! #;o)

But.... more to the point, good to know with ref to the Cayman! Well in #;o)

I\'ve beaten a few Evo\'s.... most had more power then me, I was running about 350-360 bhp and they were 370bhp +

4WD will always have the better take off... Normal road conditions like..

But I dont understand how people can say they handle better than an FD...

There was a discussion on IrishRotary about the FD against the GTST Skyline and some of the lads said the Skyline handled better!!!! WTF? :3Confused

As BlitzBoy said its all down to the driver... My cars fairly tuned and anytime an Evo\'s put it up to me ive left them for dirt... In saying that there are 1 or 2 of the lads i know that would keep up no problem if they were behind the wheel of an Evo...

[gandyRX]

id say the evo would do better on the handeling because of the 4wd and depending what model the yaw controll and the other mountain of technical goodies the evo normally has, but in a straight line and drift wise the rex any day,
 
i can understand ppl saying about the GTST handling better than the rex because of the HICAS system but its down to driver preference and power to weight raito, a 400bhp rx7 would be quicker than a 600bhp GTST as the skyline is heavier and imo abit slugish, the rex however is abit more nimble and fun to drive
 
its all down to the skill of the driver at the end of the day

[dthebuk]

Surely a lighter rwd car with a 50:50 weight distribution should come out over a heavier 4wd car through the corners in normal weather conditions?

but yea its deff about the driver.
