Bye Bye FQ320

[cuprabaz]

While out in the car today i had a wee play with an EVO, he was 2 up and i was 3 up. Walked away from him, my brother who was in the back said we pulled a good 7-8 cars going through 3rd & 4th. The boy was fair pissed off!!!

Jap rally car - 0 spanish shopping trolley - 1 It's great when the cheap car wins!!

Maybe he wasn't trying???

How did you know is was a 320?

 

[Dan.Payne]

I had a play with a FQ 320 on a bypass and kept with him all the way!!
Was a good test for the car.

 

[flashbsd]

sounds more like a wanna be 320 (260), ive kept with one of those before, but doubt you will a 300+.

 

[Jonzy]

you get to a corner and the evo disappears, dont get above your station lol

 

[cuprabaz]

lol you boys are funny.

Defo a 320, turns out it's a friend of friends car and he's totally spewing!!

Above my station, i can stay neck and neck with my boss's new M3 all the way to 120 so i think i'll just stay at this station for now.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Can vouch for the m3 thing. I have kept with one to similar speeds and Martyn also has a similar story!

 

[cuprabaz]

Thank you.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Flash what is your expect spec?

 

[Martyn]

M3.. Yawn. Porka C4S Cab....Yawn

 

[bbsboy]

had a run with a fq340 a while back and was pulling away slightly, M3's are no problem at all, boxter s's are pretty lame too

 

[cuprabaz]

again thank you. lol



I was only telling you boys what happened, i didn't expect the negative corsasport style responses!!

 

[dav]

dont doubt the fact that you will be beating evo's. power to weight would come into play i would hav thought.


beat coutts next please!!! lol

 

[TimD]

I'm sure i kept up with an EVO 6 the other week through 3rd gear.

Have kept quiet about it, as i couldn't beleive it myself!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

As luck has it, I just ran into an E36 M3 evo, there was nothing in it. This was from 25-100ish. Suprised him. Quick that is isn't it? What is it?

 

[Sisson]

I thought evo's could do 13 sec quarters some can do 12.5's,

but i suppose it all comes down to the driver, and the situation,

 

[Martyn]

Obviously a standing start is different, we all know an ibiza would get slaughtered off the line by any of the motors mentioned above.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

It's on those occasions where i'd like just that little bit more power again, to pass and pull. bummer
Off the line it aint going to happen. But how often does that happen..Motorway A rd's etcb

 

[cuprabaz]

I thought evo's could do 13 sec quarters some can do 12.5's,

They can but we're not talking 1/4 mile here on the road and rolling starts are where the light fwd cars are great.

Must have been the +20bhp denso plugs i fitted an hour before.

I'm not hugely surprised at the result, if you look at the amount of horsepower lost by the time it gets to the wheels on a 4 wheel drive car it really is quite silly, so on a rolling start I doubt there would be much in it against an Evo FQ 320.

This site tells you a bit about power losses at the wheels near the bottom of the page.
