Fast and Furious 3 by the numbers (hp-tq-1/4 mi-prices etc)

[Ricochet]

Found this on another board,
From Sport Compact Car:

The Fast and the Furious 3: We Test The Hype –
Tokyo Drift Movie Cars: Dyno Thrashed & Tokyo Crashed

The following is the main info from the article, I didn’t read the article yet so I can’t touch further on any of the data.

Neela’s Turbo RX-8 0-60: 6.7 / 14.9@ 95 mph
RMR EVO IX (rwd) 0-60: 6.6 / 14.5@ 103.6 mph
Volkswagen R32 (awd) 0-60: 6.1 / 14.4@ 94 mph
Toyota Chaser 0-60: 6.1 / 14.3@ 101 mph
Hans Veilside RX-7 0-60: 6.0 / 14.1@ 104.5 mph
RB-powered Mustang 0-60: 6.0 / 13.8@ 105.4 mph
Drift King’s 350Z 0-60: 5.7 / 13.2 @ 114.8 mph

RX-8 w/Greddy turbo – 191.4hp / 186 lb-ft of torque
1998 Toyota Chaser Tourer V – 246.8hp / 250 lb-ft of torque
R32 MkV w/rwd conversion – 210.9hp / 208.2 lb-ft of torque
RX-7 w/HKS T047 turbo kit – 305.7hp / 256 lb-ft of torque
Drift King (APS Twin Turbo) 350Z - 430.3hp / 413.3 lb-ft of torque
EVO IX w/RMR rwd conversion – 289.5hp / 289.5 lb-ft of torque

67 Mustang w/RB26DETT- 340.2hp / 264 lb-ft of torque
(Original 67 Mustangs w/428's have 360-400 HP / 400-440 lb-ft of torque)

The quickest car to 60 on 2Fast 2Furious was the Honda S2000 with a 5.7 posting and 13.9 @ 99mph ¼ mile and the R34 GT-R did 6.0 to 60 and 14.1 @ 101mph in the ¼ mile. I would have posted the rest of the 2Fast 2Furious numbers, but the fastest suck and I'm not typing the rest of the slowpokes.

6.0 and 13.8???

That Mustang should be ashamed of itself...

From www.albeedigital.com collection of stock test times.
1967 Ford Mustang (390ci V8 w/4spd) 5.8 13.8

So they put in a RB26DETT to make it SLOWER???

Slap on a Paxton supercharger along with a Motorsport Multiport FI intake and computer and you are in the high 12s for under 5K.

But it doesn't have the "cool" factor

430hp twin-turbo 350Z, 5.7sec 0-60

shoulda used a Forester XT in teh moovie.

[Ricochet]

[Nemesis Destiny]

I drove a Forester XT 5-speed today, and they aren't joking. That thing is scary fast (for me).

[SilverSpear]

Yeah but if you take off all the bodykits, 20" rims, and unnecessary spoilers I bet you all those cars would run a lot quicker

ANd if I get the reworked intake, belt setup, software and dont spin the wheels the first 5 feet my time would be alot faster too.

Not to mention the car weights around 3800lbs without a body kit. I could always save a bunch of weight too. Remove spoiler, stereo system, trunk full of crap, seats, get lighter rims, sound insolation, ect.

The only possible benefit I can see an engine swap having would be for better handling, since the RB26 is probably lighter than a big-block V8. Same reason the Boss302 was better for handling than the 428.

Also, I checked out that site you linked, but couldn't find the list; I'd be interested to see it.

Maybe they'll tell us why in the movie..
