Thanks to everyone who supplied us vehicles for this drag race:
– Toyota Supra:
– Mazda RX-7:
What's quicker in a drag race – a Mk4 Supra with ₤ 40k worth of mods contributed to it, or a Mazda RX-7 from 1983 that's been definitely stripped out and is now used as a time attack vehicle?
Well, it's time to learn!
So let's see how these 2 compare. Beginning with the Supra, the initial 3-litre straight-six twin-turbo has had one of the turbos got rid of, while the initial automated gearbox has been swapped for an 8-speed ZF transmission from a BMW 530d. It's also fitted with a transbrake that'll assist to build up boost and propel it off the line.
All of this implies the Supra can produce an amazing 700hp and 780Nm of torque. It suggestions the scales at around 1,500 kg, and to purchase this exact car would cost around ₤ 80,000 – ₤ 40k for the base cars and truck, and ₤ 40k for the mods.
Then we have the RX-7, which has had many mods used to it that it's barely even an RX-7 any longer! Under the bonnet you'll discover a 2-litre 4 cylinder from the original Civic Type R which has also had a turbo contributed to it, and it's also fitted with a manual gearbox from a BMW 330d.
Provided it's a time attack vehicle, it has actually been definitely removed and included with tonnes of aero, and it now suggestions the scales at simply 840kg!
But there's also a special visitor contender to handle both of these automobiles – a 911 Carrera T! It's fitted with the basic 3-litre turbocharged flat-six, and this can produce 385hp and 450Nm of torque. It weighs in at 1,470 kg, but the question is, will the power-to-weight ratio aid it propel itself to triumph?
There's just one method to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!
