looks pretty even to me......?

i have raced 2 ap1's i have beaten both of them in straightline speed.
i have the mods listed in my sig (no tune). i raced one that had an intake and exhaust. i raced another one on the highway that had an exhaust and im not sure what else.

that guys driving the f20c is really friken wierd, hence he is driving the f20c...
ap2 > ap1 jk. i dont wanna start a war


in the video they looked pretty even

 

i noticed a slight advantge to the ap2 out of corners. But otherwise it was a nail bighting close race.

 

ive raced a good amount of AP1s (all stock or with intake) with my stock ap2 and have yet to lose in a straight line race.

 

if i couldhave it my way, id have the ap2 with the f20! too bad we dont get that in the us!

9k ftw

 

Tsuchiya's probably a better drive too ...

 

Thats why I believe while the F22 makes more tq I think the motor is less of a difference then the gears. I would like to see a AP1 with 4.56's run an AP2.

Jyuichi had to slow down for Tsuchiya.....otherwise he woudl've ran into him.

The driver of the F20 is one of the better driver out of Best Motoring, he really pushes the car...just like Tsuchiya.

Anyways, i do believe the added torque and lower gearings helped the F22 pull out of the corner easier.

 

each engine has its advantage, and on that course each engine had a corner it was better at. at the chicane in the middle the f20c was faster because it could stay in its power band without having to downshift. the f22c had to upshift before the chicane and then dowshift almost immediately for the chicane. at the hairpin after the chicane the f22c was faster because it makes more low end power to so it was able to pull out of the corner faster. however tsuchiya (f22c) used 1st gear and juichi (f20c) used 2nd gear, so make of that what you will. i dont think you can definitively say one engine is better than the other, they each have their own advantages.

 

listen to the f20 driver... he giggles!! hahaha... but besides that, i'd say to the average driver, it would be a driver's race on a circuit!! unless they were both pretty evenly challenged drivers.
