Is our car faster than a 7th gen gt? I was just looking at the specs and they only have 10 more hp than us(gt) and we have about 10 more Tq. So does anybosy know which is faster assuming that both were being driving my equal drivers. If im wrong on the specs can someone clarify. confused.gif

[thats why i would rather have the 7gc GT. easier to turbo and cheaper insurance with none of that VTEC wanna-be crap

most 7gc gts's that i see are driven poorly. its not an easy car to drive from what i hear. honda guys even say that the 7gc gts doesnt have enough torque!!

7gc's weigh about the same, i think, but im not sure. 6th gens are geared to be torquey and 7gc's are more like hondas now.

a race between a 6gc and a 7gc will start with the 6gc ahead and the 7gc passing it soon after.(when the corresponding models race)

oh and btw the 7afe makes max torque somewhere around 2500rpm, same size engine, 40 less hp due to a lower CR

7afe 9:5:1
1zzfe 10:0:1

Peak torque hardly matters in a street race. The low-end peak of the 7AFE will allow it to beat off most hondas off the line, but its lack of hp will cause the damn thing to accelerate like crud, and even though the 1zzfe peaks at 4500 rpms, that doesn't mean it's putting out less torque than the 7afe at 2500 rpms. I will agree that the 1zz has slightly high compression ratio, but when I machined my 7afe head raising the compression around 10:0:0... with a port/polish and a 3 angle valve job, the damn thing only dynoed around 110 whp or so... although it did push more after CAI/H/E/pulley, safc tuned... etc.

As far as engine prefrence goes, I will agree... lack of low-end torque makes a car fairly booring to drive, unless you rev the piss out of it all the time. That's why I personally will say, there's no replacement for displacement...
