If you had 4 cars and they all had say...500rwhp on the same suspesion, tires, etc.

Which car do you think would win?

Let's try not to get too technical. Just think all the cars are the same, they all dyno the same numbers, but with different power adders.

Personally I think N/A is the way to go, no doubt in a road racer. Drag racing, I'm not sure, but I would still think N/A is the way to go. Unless you are doing 300hp w/200 shot off the line.

This might get technical anyways..just vote

 

Whatever car that has the good driver mod I would guess.

 

i said everything was the same..

 

everythings the same including power curve and torque curve???? i think thats what would settle this. i think NA would win with a more progressive power curve

 

you said all of the cars are the same but nothing about the driver. Also if they have the same driver, how in the world would the race take place? You would have 4 cars and only one driver. lol i'd say whatever car he drives first would be your winner. I'm going to go with n/a.

 

LOL, come on guys. The same driver could drive each car down the quarter and see which gets the best time. Same with laps around a track. I say for drag racing, supercharged. Isn't that what the 4 sec cars use in professional drag racing?

 

that's the thing, which can get more tq in the lower RPMS??...to me that would be the difference

 

Supercharged

 

Sprayed cars are going to make hellacious torque.

 

I'll take a supercharger

Don't care for nitrous...I play a lot and don't want to rely and fill bottles all the damn time

 

prolly a twin screw car if the suspension can hook it up down low, massive torque through the whole power band, especially down low

 

I say a n2o car also just because the big torque spike would help it get off the line quicker

 

I chose N/A, only because I like it that way. Keep it simple.

 

I vote blown. Cant get enough of the wine.

 

You would think that the blown or sprayed cars would leave the hardest, but honestly, I have no clue how that would turn out

 

So all the cars match one another as far as their set up goes, as well as peak power? Their curves are going to be so different from one to the other and some cars will out torque others. Think about the torque figures on a built, naturally aspirated LSX and the figures on a sprayed one. Then compare the bottom end grunt of a Maggie vs. the top end of a Procharger. If you want power and torque peaks to match up, you're talking completely different engines. I don't know; it's hard to say.

Ultimately my money would rest on a sprayed car in drag racing. I think a twin-screwed car would do great in a tight road course or autocross. Time to get back to work. >_<

 

torque wins races. HP sells cars.

 

I vote spray. Some of the fastest 1/8 mile and street cars around here are big cube/N2O cars with very well put together set ups. Me personally, I like a strong car with just a little push behind it just in case. LOL. Nothing like the feel of strong hit of nitrous.

 

FI + No2 Big torque down low with plenty of wind up top Should leave no wholes in the power curve

 

*holes Whole would imply the entire power curve, which would probably be true with nitrous, but not in that context. K, I'm done now.
