New civic vtec?Originally posted by kaoya:is e new honda civc v-tec any good?
tried it a bit on auto car... but nvr push 2 limit
If never push, the benefit of vtec is more towards fuel saving. The power of vtec can usually be realised beyond 6000rpm...Originally posted by kaoya:is e new honda civc v-tec any good?

Somehow true but if on stright rd, VTEC rules..lolx..althought i dun drive one..but of cos after modding la...Originally posted by tailslide:wanna bet?i've seen NA cars eat tubocharged 4WD at carpark races (ie, many many corners).

vtec solenoid kicks the cam at 5200rpm to be in exact! hee... vtec feels much better than i-vtec man. the sudden thrust forward.... there's a new civic on the way. it's civic 2006! check it out online.. pretty cool!Originally posted by free4ever:If never push, the benefit of vtec is more towards fuel saving.

Old vtec tend to be more powerful less fuel conscious
new vtec tend to be more fuel saving, at the expense of power![]()
rolling on at speed, NA has a distinct advantage to make use of the power available in higher revs. but seriously in a drag, TCed 4wd cars will make mincemeat outta a NA FF car (stock vs stock). this is true for most cornering scenarios as well. 4wd gets a car 2 turn better than juz 2wd and that is a fact. the key to go faster through a corner lies in the method of approach and exit and harnessing the salient characteristics of each type of vehicle to do so.Originally posted by bo liao:Somehow true but if on stright rd, VTEC rules..lolx..althought i dun drive one..but of cos after modding la...
It also depends on wat type od corners also...cos if both car entering a corner at same speed, same angle,front wheel drive is more likely to understeer den a 4wd car...Its so called proven but to me..i dunno la..i feel go into any corner at 20km/h is the safestst..lolx....
I felt in corners of 99bend,using 2 of my vehicles,4wd somehow better..dunno issit really lik tat or "XIN LEE ZHUO YONG" cos its a 4wd..![]()
wrc when most of the time drifting thru corners need 4wd then can make it lah. carpark races (local) drift only waste time.Originally posted by HENG@:But I don't see that happening in WRC...![]()
ohhh its not a waste of time. train ppl to be good in fighting for parking space... parking space in sg damn pathetic u know...Originally posted by tailslide:wrc when most of the time drifting thru corners need 4wd then can make it lah. carpark races (local) drift only waste time.![]()

if the same driver is as equally skilled in driving a NA FF car and a TCed 4wd car, it is likely that 4wd will still come out tops.
i agree,its true that the 4wd will have a better performance in cornering and at launching~Originally posted by tailslide:rolling on at speed, NA has a distinct advantage to make use of the power available in higher revs. but seriously in a drag, TCed 4wd cars will make mincemeat outta a NA FF car (stock vs stock). this is true for most cornering scenarios as well. 4wd gets a car 2 turn better than juz 2wd and that is a fact. the key to go faster through a corner lies in the method of approach and exit and harnessing the salient characteristics of each type of vehicle to do so.

new Lambos ARE AWD???Originally posted by zerocool85:well said..
btw.. if awd cars are better in handling and stuff, y supercars like lambo, mclaren are rear wheel drive? wldnt it be better if they were to be designed in awd?
new Lambos ARE 4WD like Dakar has pointed out. But 4WD corrupts steering feedback some. Ultimately, the world's most incredible racing cars like Formula 1, IRL and CART cars are all RWD.Originally posted by zerocool85:well said..
