Twin Ring Lap Battle. GT86 vs BRZ vs MX5

 

Thanks for the find and posting!

 

Awesome find! Noticed the BRZ is a lot more quiet then that GT86

 

Rumor is that it was modified sound wise to be quieter.

 

Low 14sec.?

 

^Ok ok mid 14s. U mad? lol

What's Umad?

 

14.3 is low 14sec range in my book so it is titled as such. DK ran 14.3 in the 86 and 14.4 in the BRZ.

 

OK, can you please post a link to that information? Because if it is titled as such, it should have the information as such.

 

Link to what information?

 

Well here's my reliable source information from Motortrend..

Just posting qtr. mile information here, not trying to argue anything.

Link to 1/4 mile times, is that what you were asking for...Did you completely miss the videos above?

And everyone has already seen the Motortrend times.

 

Here's a full test, posted about 5 days ago so not everybody has seen it yet..

Sixty miles per hour is reached in 6.6 seconds (6.3 seconds with one foot of rollout like on a drag strip), and the quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds at 93.8 mph. Yes, this result is notably quicker and faster than the BRZ, which did those deeds in 7.3, 7.0, and 15.3 seconds at 92.1, respectively. What's going on?

Sorry I didn't watch all of the video, lost interest pretty quick. So why did they run 400m at the begining and end with much different times, how do we know they didn't change/modify something?

 

Yes, that is old news. The Videos above were just released like yesterday. Keep in mind that land elevation will play a part in times, the driver being American is probably larger than the Japanese drivers in the video (who are pro drivers, where as Insideline and Motortrend are not pro drivers), and neither of these test are done at a traditional drag strip where VHT is laid down.

Either way, the car is good for mid-low 14sec 1/4 miles with the right driver.




They didn't run at the beginning and at the end. It was all at the beginning. If you aren't going to watch something, why are you bothering to comment on it and ask questions later?

 

in the 400mm run..the first test was done at different launch rpms i think..2nd run was done at 3500rpm launch..if your read inside line comments it states this " FRS Rewards big-wheelspin launch with quicker accel than BRZ. Best launch from 5,500-5,700 rpm, spin tires through first, then grab 2nd."

 

5,500rpms sounds like a lot of wheel spin off the line.
