GR86 vs S2000 drag race, interesting result.

NoHaveMSG · 03-06-2023, 10:12 AM

Eh, about what I expect to see. Doesn't help the twins, first or second gen, don't launch well or consistently due to the shit anti squat curve that comes with borrowing suspension parts from an awd car.

Ultramaroon · 03-06-2023, 02:20 PM

They should've traded cars. Skinny guy in the 86 would take it every time.

nikitopo · 03-07-2023, 08:34 AM

Results as expected.

JDMChris · 03-07-2023, 07:33 PM

This was with the slower 2.0L S2K as well.

I'm too nice. Wanna see an AP1 lose to an automatic GR86? Its at 8:58. As expected. 215 Primacy's vs 235 Direzza ZIII no less.

Weird. I did have my doubts about how inconsistent that NZ video's results are..

At best both are high 13 second cars, not surprising it’s a drivers race. Theoretically the GR86 is faster (slightly quicker time and trap), but it’s very close.

Is the rear suspension geometry carry over from the WRX?

I don't think it is exact, but it is close. Same upper and lower control arm. I think our trailing arm is shorter, not 100% sure though, knuckle is different too.

Tks, I see that MCA from Aus (a while ago) and now Jackson Racing released suspension pickup changes to improve anti-squat. Probably I will necro the conversation and see what would be advantages vs disadvantages.

Have you ever tested any of those?

I haven't, not allowed to alter suspension pickup points for my class(s) my car is setup for. Largely positive reviews in the threads I have read on it.
