Hi guys, could you tell me, in a race on the dragstrip or a straight road what would win outta the 4x4 sapphy and the 3dr cossie. Want to buy the most sensable car really.

Jim

 

Drag strip would be 4X4 as it has better traction----Though there are exceptions to that rule

On the road generally it would be the 3DR as its RWD.................but only in a straight line

 

The 4wd is going to win in most circumstances.

2wd has less power loss through the transmission though so in a straight line once out of first gear it will be marginally quicker given the same power

 

wouldnt the rear end keep slidding out whenever u put ya foot down on the 3dr cossie?

 

Not if you have the right tyres and rear end set-up

 

mine does at the mo, and boy does it give you shock when you had a 4x4 before

4x4 drag, 3dr straight line in standard form.

 

top speed not a lot in it, as 4wd saph has greater losses but doesnt have the big spoiler slowing it down

 

is gonna be a brain ache for me now, i like the 4x4 and the 3dr so much. its gonna be hard 2 pick what one im gonna have.

 

get one of each?

 

If you like to drive your car hard and are unsure of RWD then go 4X4 When they bite you get a fucking big scar

The late 4X4 is alot more refined and "Easier" to drive at speed

3DR everytime

 

hahaha would be ideal

 

 

the "sensible" option is 4wd every time, the performance difference is marginal in reality, they both give you a big every time...
as to which is "best" is very much down to personal taste and passion..
the big benefit of 4wd is you never have to worry about approaching the oncoming traffic looking through the side window when you're not expecting it
the novelty of the occasional tail-out action soon wears off when it starts doing it on occasions when you weren't expecting it...
all IMO of course, but then i'm an old bastard who drives a car like my gran would..

 

No need, just get a 4x4 3 door!!!!

 

3door every time the propper cozzy imo
look into what power you gona want becuse 4x4 drive train and 330 bhp dont go if u give it hammer

 

Afternoon Brom, wheres Sean? he is not returning my calls

 

4x4 3 door m8, that's what I'm doing

 

sorry pork chop i have no idea where he is
am here at work and he not here pritty normal realry

 

I'd say go for the 3-door 2wd.
A friend of mine own's a 4x4 and another friend a 3-door, 4x4 has around 350hp, the 3-door around 310 (wild guessed). But on a longer distance the 4x4 isn't quicker then the 3-door.

Conclusion (maybe to quickly taken, but ok);
Buy the 3-door, saves you money since you only have I diff, 1 pear of driven axles, plus I think you have to tune a 4x4 higher to get the same result when doing it to a 2wd/3-door.

If your planning on driving lots of short sprints, then go for the 4x4, it'll have more traction the first meters.

And what a top car it is too, bargin for someone

 

Really looks good indeed.
Like the engine "dressup" too

 

im the 4x4 friend...

but till 180km/h i was just as fast as my friend with his 3dr...and that was with the t-3...i have now t-35 it should take a bit longer for the 2wd to get past me.....

so a 4wd saph is also fast as fook....and if you want to drive 2wd only when it is dry......thats not much then...

 

In that case you dont want either of them cars, you want a mondeo
