FTO AUSTRALIA

So, one of my mates is telling me he's getting a Ralli-art Magna, rated at 180fwkw from a 3.5L V6.. my question is, would it be quicker than a Mivec FTO? He thinks my '97 GPX won't stand a chance... any takers?
Cheers, Jake.

"Any takers?".........ME
When are we all going to the drag strip?
I will have a race against him as well, schooner and nachos for the winner, I'm thirsty and hungry

What?........Are you just going to run in your lane? I hope you got good shoes You can tie the front strut bar to your back
(just joking gpx000)

He'd most probably take you in a straight line if you have no mods (if you have a tip, thats even more likely). I had a VRX Magna and it had pretty good accelleration off the mark. Around the corners is another matter though.

Straight line Magna would win.

Corners... Be a fair game depending on the drivers and handling setup, if we're talking full factory, the FTO would handle better.

The 3.5L V6 in the magna is so crap. Compared to a comparable year FTO the 6a12 is way better at not showing it's age. I get a lot of Magnas up to roadworthy spec for a finance company and you never find one without a stuffed/leaking engine. I think out of 30 I have looked at I reckon 29 of them were leaking from the rocker covers. Rocker bolts come loose to the point you can undo the bolt with ya fingers! Most were rough as guts and very noisy.

And that's why I love the FTO

Yeah, but apparently this is some special version of the normal Magna engine that has been 'tuned' by Ralli Art, It would surely be one of the quickest cars a P plater could legally drive.

get a ralliart sticker and pop it on your car and scare him

I reckon the FTO will win, myn ate a r33 for breakfast and its not mivec but its got mods but still FTO FTW

r33s are nothing, was most likely non turbo.. friend has r34 with rb26.. no sh*t a camry v6 would beat them

Yeh would of been a N/A for sure, if it was turbo would of left me in the dust

Hope your referring to the NA R33 being beaten by a camry v6, as an RB26 would sh*t all over a camry and an FTO

The RB26 only came out in a turbo variant, more than likely your mate has a Neo RB25.

Cheers, Jake.

180kW was the production figure. Doubt that's measured from the wheels.

Not true, RB26 came out NA. Rare as f**k though! They came in the Autech RB26 N/A 4 door HNR32 Sky.line.
Pretty sure something rediculous like only 5 made or something... so he would have meant an RB25 for sure lol. No way an FTO could beat a GTR.
