Guys tell me what you think would win. You have a 95 Base 3000GT with A TT engine weighing in at 3250lbs with FWD and LSD, and the contender is a 95 VR4 with stock engine. Both are running the same level of boost with stock 9b's and making the same HP and torque. Who would win? (assuming the FWD TT has decent traction due to LSD, stiffened suspension and solid engine mounts). Would the FWD TT beat it due to a 500lb or so weight advantage or would the VR4 still beat it due to AWD? Keep in mind that although they have the same power at the engine the FWD TT would prob make a little more power on the dyno due to less drive train loss.

The SL for sure. The power to the wheels would be much more. A great majority of power is lost from the VR4s drivetrain. Not to mention the weight decreace of the SL.

guys its not an sl its a base which is even lighter.
i would have to say the vr-4 would take you off the line and you would follow it until u passed it when the vr-4 lost its top end due to the all wheel drive and extra weight. imo.

Im not even that sure about off the line either. The VR4s buck and jump... huge weight transfer... they dont get off the line incredibly well.

well what ever they do its probably better than spinning into a big white cloud of tire smoke. do vr-4's really buck off the line or was the driver not experienced in all wheel drive launching?

I've never experienced any bucking when I launch my car. Granted, I don't do it often because parts are expensive and the car is heavy, but it'll launch pretty hard.

It'll launch harder on the street than most cars and most certainly launch harder than a FWD version, enough to hold them off for the length of a quarter (all things being equal other than AWD)
