Who'd have thought... the Varietta...

[vinkento]

I love this car... Nissan did something right when they made the Silvia Varietta. It's practically effortless to turn and just as much fun to drive as my trueno. Does anyone else absolutely adore this car. And whats more, it's got all that trunk space. And you can tell it's nissan from the front of it... man... this could be my new favorite car in the game next to my ZZII. Fun fun fun fun fun

it's aight..I just think it's fugly..I hate the convertible roof on it, I like the regular s15 better

 

[ethikz]

i still think my name is better than yours

 

[vinkento]

It's not the most beautiful looking car... but handles like I never thought a car could.

 

[Ethix101]

haha..

nope..my name rules

 

[ethikz]

nope, mine is

 

[Kamui D]

i hate that car with a passion....


but that is just me...
(and that shows something being the hardcore nissan fan i am...)

 

[Ethix101]

I wouldn't mind having one in real life though, with the top down they look sweet..it's just with the top up that I hate the look...I'd just have to swap engines with a regular s15 cause I'm pretty sure the Varietta is an sr20de and I think they only come in Automatic.

I just built one the other day, But i haven't got much wheel time yet. Need to give it a better playing with apparently.

 

[Kamui D]

they come in manual (i beleve)
but they are NA (shudder)

 

[ving]

fugly, never touched it

 

[vinkento]

It really is a fun car to drive IMHO. I don't much mind the looks... I mean sure it could do with a little smaller trunk and a small spoiler... but it works just fine the way it is so I'm hooked on it.

 

[ving]

just look at it tho!!!
tell me, do you run it stock?

=fugly

 

[Thio]

All tha car needs is a spoiler to make it look like the R I drove it before and I grew into its looks. If GT3 had an aero kit option, then it would be so cool

 

[VenomousDrift]

Quite frankly, give it the Spec R Aero Wing, and take the wing of the Spec R Aero, and then I'd be happy. Both would look nicer, and both would still be cool Silvia S15's!

 

[MrTokyoJoe]

is there a huge difference from the R? i wanna make settings for this now. what are the HPs for each NA stage? (too lazy to check)

 

[MrTokyoJoe]

never mind. the GT3 database said NA 2 max at 271 HP (with all other mods. not sure aboot oil change). thats sucks. i don't think thats enough to break sim traction. it might be. i'm testing it out (if i get unlazy). mite have potential but won't be favored over the R.

271hp sucks? Are on dope or something? With sims 30hp is enough. My friend's Fiat can get wheels spinning with relative ease and it has under 50hp.

About the trunk space, the roof goes to the trunk by a press of a button right? I mean in the real car. So much abou the trunk space eh?

The varietta is quite fast btw. NA tuned cars are always faster than turbos. For eg an NA Integra is faster than a turbo tuned Integra even if the turbo had more power.

 

[mindless_dude]

is it true that turbo cars accelrate faster then NA?

where can you win it?

what is wrong with NA... Nothing at all... some would say that na is far better... because it gives a far more reliable source of power during cornering... in shifts... and initially... while it is possilbe to get higher speeds from larger turboes with a smaller liter engine... similar mods can be made to a na engine to condense air and thus inject more fuel into the engine during a stroke... everything being the same ( weight... hp...etc) an na car will out accelerate a large turbo until higher speeds... but a smaller turbo could out accelerate the na except that its top speed will be lower... when i am discussing na... i am not discussing the same engine one with a turbo and one without ( this one being hte an one)... i am talking about the exact same hp so i guess different engines or na tunes being performed without altering cylinder volume or stoke length... i might be talking about superchargers i am kinda fuzzy on the differences...

turbo will always give hp for less weight and less cost... and properly tuned can and will be an excellent car... but the na will always have more potential just because its way of generating power... is not dependent upon the amount of air condensed in a turbine ( resulting in turbo lag)...

i dunno if i described it well... oh well no time to proof read... i am not saying that turboes suck or anything i already said there pros... cheap and light... but if na can generate enough hp with the same weight ot if weight can be released elsewhere i wuld go for the more expensive... better sounding... na engine....

esp the new rotary one from mazda... in an old rx7... i can dream
or a new 350 z no need to turbo when you got 300 hp in a real car for 30,000 dollars... but that is just my opinion

Except for me...gotta keep my Spider-Man one!

 

[Kamui D]

dont get me wrong i got mad respect for NA, but i am in love with the way a proberly instaled turbo w/ blow off valve sounds(call me a sucker)

 

[MrTokyoJoe]

the EIP gti vr6 is NA. (i believe stage 5 is the highest they've gone) and it kicks ass the the strip. (8-9 seconds). busts like 500+ HP.
