Stock -vs- Tuned: It's been too long.

[eran0004]

In the reasonably priced segment: Daihatsu Sirion CX 2WD vs Daihatsu Sirion X4

How about supra rz or Mitsubishi 3000gt into the 550pp category. Except don't dump 600bhp into them if it makes undriveable. Like the r32 skyline. Could have easily backed off the engine and turbo tune to make it as fast as the r35 but without making it into a pure drift car.

In fact you know what would be interesting? Say you took 6 cars say you have a 150k budget to buy and tune the car and do a shootout like best motoring and have a race. So like skylines vs mr2 vs supra vs nsx vs 3000gt see on a lapped race online is the best car then reverse the drivers and grid positions...retest.

That would be cool

This needs organising to work. Group 1 puts down times of stock cars. Group 2 tries to beat Group 1 using modified cars on the same tyres, taking note of PP. This should all be done in a lobby for quick sharing of times, authenticity and prevents cheating. We should make a group for this or atleast arrange lobby times.

Not sure where you want to go with this... all test are done with same driver.

I'd love to see the Autozam make an appearance here; I've always thought it was a real blast to drive for such a little car.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

Why was this moved to a sub-forum in which has nothing to do with spot races and time trials?

 

[Jahgee]

Because idiots w/ 10 posts thought that this was a group effort with the whole community

... well this certainly isn't the place for it? It's been around for over a year and was just moved now? Its a review thread, same as C-ZETA's which is years old and remains in the main section.

I wasn't even left with a reason.

Did you try moving it back?

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

Anyways, I am either going to make a new episode of this or I will put effort into the tuner challenge I have up in the tuning forum. Because that looks promising.

Did you try moving it back?

Done. 👍

Cars go vroom

Thread should remain here. This is constructed by a core group of people.

190E vsDTM 190E

 

[Conbon14]

I love these episodes. Great job:tup: id love to see 300zx vs 370/350.

 

[TF GT1 01]

This is a great thread but I want more
Still keep it up and hope to see a new one up soon!

I know, I want more too

There was a mix of things on my mind whether I do this, do the tuning challenge, or set up a YouTube channel to start doing well edited Stock vs Tuned episodes on with commentary rather then reading.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

So many ideas Motortrend .

I would say a video on YouTube would be a better choice and a new venture with the videos similar to Top Gear, Best Motoring and Motor Trend Challenges, but with cars from GT5.

I mean testing out stock and modified vehicles and take them to the 'Ring and TGTT with our very own Stigs and DKs will be a hit though. 👍

And I like the sound of a 300ZX vs. 370/G37 challenge.

Don't get me started :lol;

Yea, it should be good I need to get more compfortable with editing before I put my baby (SvT) on YouTube.. I made a quick Dirt 3 replay with a bunch of different angles together and it didn't turn out half bad, so we'll see 👍

Are the prices much different?

 

[Firehound427]

Well:
300ZX: Cr.39,500
350Z: Cr.36,300
370Z: Cr.43,750

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

300ZX: Cr.39,500

370Z: Cr.43,750

Hard to make a good episode with a 4,250cr budget car will hardly be different.

 

[TF GT1 01]

Keep writing it up her (in my opinion)
My internet is soooo slow I can't really watch YouTube vids

I'll do both:tup: (eventually)

 

[SAPPH]

Sorry if this been posted before. I've been reading the episode where Skyline R32 vs GTR. I think i would fare better if the R34 vs GTR since the R32 is a relic compared to R34.

A comeback episode with Skyline VSpec II Nur (R34) vs GT-R SpecV '09 would be epic.

Anyway, nice writings, I enjoy reading all of it. Awesome stuff.

 

[Conbon14]

Or the 2012 black edition. Its actually quicker than the spec v and cheaper.👍

 

[TF GT1 01]

I don't care what svt's you do 'cause they are all great!
Keep it up!👍

 

[DaBomm4]

How about an American muscle challenge between the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R and the Buick GNX.

 

[Doog]

Not sure about the prices but an SW20 Toyota MR2 versus a Lotus Evora would be an interesting one to see. 👍

 

[fbccars924]

@Mitch- Z32 300zx vs R35 Skyline or R32 vs R35.

 

[Firehound427]

I'm pretty sure an R32 Skyline vs R35 GT-R showdown has already taken place...

 

[fbccars924]

oops lol I just realized that. I knew it sounded like a good idea for a reason
