7gc GT-turbo vs 6gc 3s swap, what do you think? Options

[Ryu3x16]

who would win?.. I got a chance to see a 7gc GT-turbo in action the other day...it looked fast.. its running at 4psi low boost..and 8 psi at high pushing..200hp at 8psi.. thats basically it... do you think a 6gc 3s swap can eat up this 7gen turbo-gt?
or can the 7g turbo-gt spank us?

i would say they would be about even.

the 7gc may run lower boost, but the engine has higher compression, which will make for more power gained per increase in PSI

a 7gc may have almost as much power as a stock alltrac(5th gen) but what the alltrac has is more traction than a fwd celica could ever have.

ever been in AWD launch? lag doesnt mean anything. rev up to 5krpm, slip the clutch till the car starts moving, and then ease it out a little quickly. turbo spools instantly and you have a 3-4 car lead.

i have done it in my wrx a few times, and the first time, it launched so hard that when i was thrown back in my seat, my legs/feet were also pulled back off the pedals.

1/4 mile, an alltrac and 7gc GTS are equal, and on a track a alltrac would have a slight advantage

but rolling runs is where the GTS is at home. the car has a freeway flyer powerband.
