What about rotaries? The RX7 will walk over everything if we include it.

Not trying to sound like a whining sissy here, but no one knows what the true displacement of a rotary engine is...

 

[boombexus]

Hrm, good point!

No Rotary engines then.

 

[kragbees]

The RX7 is a 1.3

If you do the math the way you'd do it for a piston engine, which only has one compression stroke. But a rotary engine has, in reality, 2 compression "strokes". You do the math.

Nice theme for a race boom.

Im gonna look around the shops and check some of my favorite small prize cars, but other than that... good luck to all.

bye

Now you're just being anal. Pour water in the engine and it'll displace 1.3 liters But yes, you are correct sir

 

[gt4]

Just found a new car so got much better times

T1 23.050
T2 42.440

 

[gt4]

and what if the car has a -cc displacement

 

[-Fred-]

Then you go by your judgement, i guess. Or you ask!

 

[IDAFC21]

2.0 Liters and 2000 cc (cubic centimeters) are the same thing. There are 1000 cubic centimeters in a liter.

Thanks for the support guy's. I hope you all have a good time with this one!

 

[IDAFC21]

i think he means there are certain cars that dont actually show the displacement, all they show are -cc instead

 

[kragbees]

So what manufacturer are you guys gonna use ? Either Honda, must probably be a Japanese car ?

Hrm, well if that's the case, don't use that car.

I was thinking something Japanese. Maybe a Toyota.. But then again. The Elise or the VX220 might do well as well..

Decisions Decisions... Makes my head hurt

 

[kragbees]

I'm thinking in the line of the Integra Type-R ... or Civic Type-R ... or Spoon Civic ... or Celica Sports M ... will probably start out with the Integra though ...

 

[Flerbizky]

A the questions keep appearing. What car <= 2000cc makes the most horsepower ?.....

 

[kragbees]

Another question ... a car that is on the dot 2000cc , can that be used ? Something like the Subaru Impreza STI for example ? It's a 2lt isn't it ?

 

[chimeleon]

ok i think that i found my car

 

[kragbees]

Is it Japanese ?

 

[chimeleon]

yes
