VS Commodore Acclaim Vs. JA Starion Turbo

[saint_matrix]

Hello everyone
What do you guys think would win in a drag race out of a:

VS Commodore Accliam [auto trans] (Stock except extractors)
Vs.
JA Starion Turbo [manual trans] (stock)

[1vngal]

Starion hands down.

But then again, if it's a tired motor and basically been run down....It could be close.

Thats like putting Ruby (Stock as VN) up against Charg'd (HSV VT XU6 S/C). No competition.

Starion engine was rebuilt 1000ks ago so its nice new and fresh

[1vngal]

Then the Starion. Easy as.

My wife seems to have hiden my book with the Starions 0-100 times but going off my memory you can assume stock for stock the VS will suck it's doors off without much trouble at all

Unsure what 1vngal is on at the moment, but the Aussie Toyota Starion JA 1984 (last year of production) ran a 9.2 second 0-100 and a pitiful 17 second quarter.

The VS should put it to shame fairly well

The ES and ESI-R versions were much quicker.. But they used a 2.6 litre engine, not a 2.0L and were only offered in the States and I dont think they were offered in the JA range they were in the next generation i think

Well, I wasn't sure so I went searching for starion times etc and what I found said that the starion would woop the VS piece of cake. Maybe I did find the American info, new versions whatever.

But I went looking for a non-biased answer

Pretty sure Australia got the JA, JB & JD.

And the G54B 2.6 that the yanks got didn't make any more power anyway. As for what would win down the strip, I'd say they'd be pretty evenly matched.

Oh and it is a Mitsu, not a Toyota!

[1991_Vn2nV]

Yeah I know its a mitsubishi.. I dont know why the hell I wrote toyota I was looking up soarer times as well on the same webpage so maybe I just got them combined

And bravo, The 2.6 litre G54B did not make any more power than the later 2.0L engine, with the 12 valve head. The first generation, the JA, only ran an 8 valve head and is less powerful than the later generations and subsequently, the 2.6 litre engine used in the States... Also there was a difference in torque, and obviously the power curves were stronger with the 2.6 litre, however peak power remained the same between the 12 valve version of the 2.0L and the 2.6 litre, both of which are 20-40hp up on the 8 valve variant I think?

The First 1982 JA was faster than the later JD model. The JA is 125kw, where the JD is 115kw.
