Taking what you guys know about stock GSR's and RS's quarter mile times, what kind of times should a stock MR see? Is it hard to tell because of the 6spd tranny?

Should be looking at mid/low 12's on a completely standard GSR

No way in hell.

Um...no way your hitting mid to low 12's on a stock U.S. GSR. The best ive seen in person for a U.S. gsr is 13.1 and even that most people have a hard time believing that. Better believe it was a lil chilly out. Most run between 13.4-13.8 depending on the car and who is driving it. For the MR you can expect low 13's at best with the occasional one pulling off a 12.9 if he is lucky and has a really cool day out. A little bit of the weight reduction will help the car sprint a lil faster, and the six speed will help too ( the jdm evo rs 6 speed was slightly faster than the jdm rs 5 speed ) but it will not be a super difference for drag racing. The biggest difference in time you will see will be around an actual track or road course, especially if it does have the s-ayc. You wont really notice it in daily drving conditions though, or so I hear.

12.9 was the ET reported in the Speed Magazine article on the MR a while back.

considering the MR's weight reduction, improved gearing, additional HP and TQ, and (minor) aero improvements, i think high 12's is very realistic for a good driver.

I hate to magazine race but that one mag had it running 12.9. More importantly it trapped 107 so that's good for 12.7's with a good driver.

Kyl3cook

sorry guys...i had the est figures for the 320 in my head. Is your US one going to be different to the UK/JDM one?

Tanner_Hall

the USDM MR will come with "only" 276 hp, as opposed to 300 bhp in the UK.

Kyl3cook

will that be achieved by a second cat or something...or different engine management?...should be easily rectified

a good driver who weights 450lbs would possiblity get 14.5 sec in 1/4 mile run in a usdm evo mr.

hmm...actually i don't think they'll fit in the recaro's...

Kyl3cook

450lbs....bloody hell, do people weigh that much?!? I'm about 200lbs and consider myslef a fat ba$tard

Yeah I believe the HP rating is only around 276-280, but the TQ has went up to 295. This brings up a question I have, how can HP go up so low but TQ go up so high, aren't the two inner-related, if TQ goes up by 22, wouldn't HP see the same or atleast close to same increase? Is the MR HP rating really underrated, I mean it has a bigger turbo, but only an increase of 5 to 9 HP

Yes, you are a fat bastard. j/k

Do you feel comfortable in the UK/JDM spec seat? Dunno why the USDM version get wider seat, i don't think evo drivers in the state have obesity problem.
