Forgot to add, both these FD3S's accelerated as hard as the Lambo Gelato and the Ferrari 458 GT3 (both around ~600bhp cars).
The FD3S that ran rings around Rics RX8 is at a class mandated limit of 1350kg, running a holigner gearbox (stuffed into and around the stock FD3S gear box casing to remain within the rules!)... and they actually run limited power (said was around 400rwkw) as they have a power to weight parity formula.
Anyway just putting in some context behind just the 'dyno sheet mentality' like I was talking with the IPRA winning RX7 team just before the final race, the BS stops when you get out your stop watch and measure just how fast a car is at the end of the straight!!!!!!! that shit you can not make up or hide
you are either powerful or not, end of story, and lots are powerful and durable.
No special gizz spec internet whore spammed latest turbo craze required............ Ironic ? no not really, its always been the same! Moral go to a track, talk to cuuuuuunts who do this and see what works, it's pretty simple. Not saying this turbo is shit either, just its maybe not being given the best chance, IMHO his car did nothing at WTAC either especially after being hyped up and excuses given for 'lower reading dyno'
maybe it just makes fuck all power, and its not as if todays race was a 12 hour race nor was WTAC either... so same track same competitors same rules and his was the slowest rotary around (turbo'd) those are the facts as I witnessed them.
