ohh yeah and the tc has a horrible tq drop off...
173 whp = 200 bhp = 14.5% loss
143 wtq = 165.32 tq
200 hp and 165tq vs 2ar-fe 180hp and 173 tq
2700 lbs car vs 3100 lbs car
tc
First Gear Ratio (:1): 3.54
Second Gear Ratio (:1): 2.05
Third Gear Ratio (:1): 1.38
Fourth Gear Ratio (:1): 1.03
Fifth Gear Ratio (:1): 0.88
Sixth Gear Ratio (:1): 0.73
Reverse Ratio (:1): 3.56
Clutch Size: N/A
Final Drive Axle Ratio (:1): 4.06
frs
4.1 final drive
the frs will def be faster
in first gear the frs puts down around 2458 lbft of tq
in first gear the TC puts down around 2486 lbft of tq
frs weighs 400lbs less, puts down 28lbft/tq less to the ground and get better real world gas mileage, plus its rwd
sorry i got bored and wanted to research and do maths...
