Not trying to poke holes in any arguments, just a curiosity since I'm assuming one is a US spec car and the other JDM.

You make a good point.

The VIR was the USDM base (2.5L) that had 305hp/ 290tq and weighed 3,367lbs.

The most recent Tsukuba one was actually a 2018 WRX STI Type-S (2.0L) that had 308hp/311tq and weighed 3,322lbs.

So, a 45lb and 3hp/21tq difference.

In any case that would mean the JDM one would actually be ever, so slightly faster on VIR. Which still shows that the 08-10 Cobalt SS Turbo would still not be as fast, or faster than an R34 GTR on Nurburgring, or Tsukuba (unless of course the R34 GTR had the factory speedo restriction).

Done plenty of drift and drag events and open track days as well... But I'm sure you'll find something to disqualify any of those with. Can post pics for days.

I mean, there are classes where a fucking Toyota Tercel leads lap time records. Does that mean it's a supreme track car? No. It means it's only good in it's CLASS. Know the difference or know how to read.

That's why I quoted lap times, Supa. The fastest production car lap time on this board at Chuckwalla CW is held by a Miata.

Ryan Passey has one of the best time attack Miatas in the world with actual investment, engineering and knowledge- which is why he is the one who shits. If he didn't do his own work, who knows how expensive the package would be.

Emilio Cervantes from 949 Racing is usually up there on a lot of the lists- he's number four on the BW13 CW leaderboard.

We're talking about dudes who don't just add power, but reduce weight, increase downforce, and reduce drag. Anyone who thinks that the Miata guys aren't using top-tier race engineering isn't paying attention.

This is the kind of shit 240SX guys could be doing, and it's the kind of shit I was planning on doing before life got complicated after my cage was completed.

I think it would be more than just that, sway bars, brake tuning, suspension, etc. As I recall the JDM STI was more raw like an Evo but less "torque" and street friendly like the US STI.

I'm pretty sure the base JDM VAB STI's have the same braking/ suspension as the USDM base VAB STI's (unless the car comes with Bilstein's, or something). I do think that they had more STI performance upgrade options available, though (pretty easy to buy aftermarket in the US).

I think the JDM models just get lighter weight glass and less bracing/ safety stuff which makes them lighter.

The 2018+ JDM and USDM STI's did get new 6/2 pot Brembo's and 19" rims, but it's only a very slight upgrade.

I mean, does drifting count as a track day? It's just for the 'gram.


Also I love speculation as much as the next guy but y'all might as well play Dungeons & Dragons with all these made-up match ups and figures.


Also also, I never thought I'd agree with Corbic, bet let's try to leave politics out of this thread.

After owner 6 S-Chassis, and a few different motor (own Ls and 2J currently) and previously have had a rotary, I find myself clinging back to the 240. I can easily afford something else or newer but why? So I can be relevant to the car world who only cares about fucking pandem and fuckstupid wheel specs? Blah....blow me.

I wrestle with this a lot. I love me some shitty SChassis. Maybe it's because my back is slightly shitty, but i'm torn between SChassis and something that has performance AND comfort. 2019 Carerra just 'looks' cool (before anyone kills me with their synopsis) and has a light bar for a tail light. What.

The shit you're saying treads on the edge of banning which we know you're fishing for. It's pretty obvious. Getting triggered over an IP being exposed is only an issue to you because with that information, your exact location can be leaked. This action of course would mean that someone may pay you a visit to your little shit box of a home, 'mate.'

It's ironic too because even with a VPN, you're on a public forum that will expose said IP because once registered, it pings you with every visit to this page regardless of whatever silly 'wall' you think you have up.

Stop being dense. If you want someone to come to your house and be your friend, specific screenshots can be reposted.

Supadoopa sperged and tried to threaten me like knowing an IP tells you where some one lives. He must have ptsd from sitting on that base for so long but at least he can collect the goverment cheese lets see his track car

Dude, let it go or fuck off, please. I don't care about your IP or your hurt feelings.

It's actually not that difficult to speculate what the 08-10 Cobalt SS Turbo would run on Tsukuba... My guesstimate of 1:08.?? based off the VIR lap times would probably be dead on +/- 1 sec. Especially given that the Cobalt SS turbo ran almost the same Nurburgring lap time as the BNR32 (which ran a best lap time of 1:08.34 on Tsukuba).

"Dungeons & Dragons" would be actually believing that the BNR34/ BCNR33 would run almost the same Tsukuba lap times and yet the BNR34 would be 27 sec slower than the 33 on Nurburgring.

Me in the EVO after I took the wing off and before I actually dumped money into the chassis. I have since sold it as trying to make the car competitive was extremely expensive. Fun as shit for what it was, though.

Something you don't want to believe in, causes increasingly, predictably harsher fire seasons? No problem, blame people you don't like.

Don't worry, you won't feel a moment of shame in your echo chamber.
