Most Aggressive Acceleration.

[KezR33]

Which car at any one moment can produce the most seat sticking G force at one moment? And I mean backward sucking force, not sideways.

For daily driving, this what I enjoy most. A good, strong, sudden squirt. Rather than the potential to travel at high speeds, a quick 0-100 or handling.

I've heard S13s are quite good at this due to their power to weight ratio and their more "aggressive" boost, whereas a Skyline tends to have a more spread power curve. Is this true?

What other cars are good at this? Evos, WRXs?

Just curious more than anything, but definitely something I'll consider when off my P's.

Thanks.

This is a very good question. If anyone can answer this it would be nice .

Big engine plus small car,

I.e - 383cube cleveland v8 in a cortina / capri

[br3ndan]

My 300c SRT 8 gives me 0 to 100 in 5.0 seconds. That things got some serious aggressive acceleration despite it being around 2 tonne

shitload of power. light car. and enough grip to get it off the line quick enough. AWDs are synonymous for the feeling you have described. they have enough grip to jump out with urgency, reasonably light and the jap AWD variety aren't too $$$ to make the necessary power.

i have a friend with just under 300kw at the rear in a S15 silvia. great car. intense in gear. but off the launch its hopeless. tyres/camber/suspension/lots of practice has to be perfect to get it off the line with intense G Force.

of course more $$$ machines will do it but i take it you are talking street legal/driveable?

I'm not referring to just launches (although this is probably where most G's are felt). What I mean is if I've accelerated slowly off the lights up to 20-60kph then decide to stomp it which car has the most rapid acceleration at that point.

Yeah, I mean street legal.

Thanks for the response.

you need somthing with instant response & TORQUE then, no point havng 11ty billion killerwasps in a car if its laggy, somthing like a rb25det with a hks 2530 on it.

The dyno numbers wont impress anyone but it will be savage on the street.

An EVO (stock) is good in the first couple of gears, after that it kinda dies down a bit, not that impressive.

A Supra in TTC mode with a few mods can give *extreme* boost hits once you hit 2500-3000rpm, but very bad for traction. Think in-gear, 3rd gear wheelspin, 18 psi, on 295's, no probs

An R34 GTR with stock (or close) turbos gives a decent boost hit but you have AWD to take care of the traction issues!

If you want instant torque from down low, obviously a supercharged V8, or maybe a Supra in sequential mode with high(er) boost is the way to go!

It sounds to me like you're after big midrange torque. A turbo is perfect for this. A V8 has big torque everywhere but because of this it may feel "flatter" and not as quick. That's why Supras in TTC mode often *feel* quicker than SEQ mode but really aren't, because the area under the curve is less, plus when you hit that boost you just get wheelspin. But dayem, it's fun to drive!!

Something light with a medium sized turbo (in relation to the engine capacity) would be the best bet for what I'm looking for in a daily driver?. So that if I want sudden, massive acceleration (whilst already moving) all I have to do is drop a gear or two, hit boost and wrestle the road for traction?

Any light RWD turbo car can achieve this with the right set up, tune and tyres. Whether it be a Silvia, Skyline, Supra or whatever?

To answer my own question: the highest G's would be achieved by a worked sti, or Evo launching hard, or a lightweight car with a monster turbo (like a T88 on a Supra) finally coming onto boost, but for the most responsive hard acceleration you simply want big engine capacity, ie V8s.

Did I get that all right?

Thanks guys.

[HEKT1K]

why is everyone only suggesting Jap cars?

a big monstrous v8 will give you the desired effect.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

GTR + 4000RPM (or more) launch = Obliterate anything off the line.

Some thing like this would be pretty hard to beat

[s13_Skyline_inside]

i know what you mean about the power curve on a standard skyline, gtst's- r32's give you more of a hit when you come on boost, r33 and r34's dont give you as much of a punch but if yu take out that 5psi until X rpm out of the equation and have it on 7psi or wind it up a little bit they can be quite punchy, just keep the standard cooler or use an r34 gtt cooler until you actually need a bigger one because with low boost, smaller turbo and a big fmic you will notice the response difference between the smic and a fmic

[AdMan]

Haha thats insane!

[Fat-magz]

na mate i know exactly what your after something like this should do the trick!

Make sure you buy some spare knickers as well!!

i reckon this would be a rush

[gotRICE?]

i reckon this would be a rush

umm WTF! all 4 wheels off the ground from a launch??/ Bahahah thats f**king nuts

[R31Nismoid]

Street wise - Friend of mine, Evo 9. Upgraded turbo, usual other mods, bit shy of 300awkw from memory...

I have not been in a more savage car. Simple as that. The launches and response is second to none.

Even with the stock turbo (it was making what, 230awkw @ the time)

I've been in cars from 1000kg's to 600rwkw GTR's... Nothing compares as it pins you to the seat hard everytime.

[BOOSTA]

A HSV WH Grange with the 300kw engine has some ridiculous torque at around the 60-80kph speed...

My dad has stomped on it moving onto a highway onramp,

I got sucked back into the seat and saw 140kph very quickly! It just squats and takes off no traction issues at all!

Its very quick from lights aswell.... at the time of production, although being the heaviest HSV it was also the 2nd quickest in the fleet, second only to the GTS

The auto gearbox on the grange has alot to do with it tho.... especially quick with shifting through the gears very fast!

How much cash do you have to spend? I can't see many 'just off their P's' guys being able to afford a 300awkw evo 9 lol. Although wouldn't it be nice!!

I reckon if you don't wanna spend heaps n heaps of cash for something nice n fast, do what i did and get a bike

And that's a 600. If you really have really big nuts jump on a thou
