    Question commodore vr VS corolla e90

    ok my mates said a few annoying comments that his stupid corolla would beat my commodore in a race or that it has more power to weight.

    his corolla is a e90 (1994) (the one holden nova rebadged)
    its a stock as a rock hatchback
    i know his chassis is e-92
    and that its not the fuel injected version i think it weighs 1085kg
    cant remember his motor but anybody who knows cars sholud be able to figure it out on the facts i gave.


    now mine is a commodore vr sp2 wagon (1994 aswell)
    im not certain but i think there like 1400kg
    the only mod ive done that has anythin to do with the motor is a cat back sports exhaust


    i would have gone straight for the v6 commodore personally by a long shot but he insists the power to weight is better **rolls eyes**

    your thoughts??!!

    You might be surprised how much difference 400kg makes...

    My money is on the AE92, especially if it has the supercharged engine

    A mate of mine with a 'rolla talks about a supercharged engine. 130kw iirc. That would be a little weapon in a corolla. And I think there is a 20v motor with about 115kw as well

    Oh, and if it is a similar corolla to his (manual AE92) then your commodore will be a fair bit quicker stock-stock

    stall that sh*t up and you should smash him, hold it in first and it should switch automatically to 2nd

    p.s. within the speed limit

    I'd go with the corolla.

    You could always visit one of the popular LSx tuners and have a dyno done, should give 40rwkw more in bragging rights judging by the amount of happy dyno's around, might be enough to not have to race!!

    Apparently 75, 88, 97 or 103 kw depending on the engine, but most have the 75kw one
    So compare that to 1385ish kg for your commodore and about 130kw out of the buick
