For me coming over from the honda/acura world

The RA has useable TORQUE

Thats why I like it.

 

yep

 

RRM dynod their RA.
145 to the wheels, stock.

 

Probably not a good comparison, but I was driving around in my parents' Malibu, and it's got the 3.1 V6, 170 hp.... and it couldn't even hold a candle to the way my RA opens up speed...I mean, family car vs. sport compact is not a good comparison (gearing, etc...), but it goes to show you how well a job they did with this motor.


Oh...and I took my friend for a spin in the car, he was shocked when I told him it was an inline 4....he swore it was a V6.

 

Has anyone drag raced theirs yet? What kind of times are you getting?

 

er.....raced mine with a friend's is300.... i got him on the 1st and 2nd but after the 3rd....****......

 

WTF RRM has a dyno. um where the hell are the dyno'ed turbo's???????

 

Just because they had an RA dynoed doesnt mean the Dyno was theirs. If it was their own Dyno I am sure they would have a ton of numbers for us to see, especially about their piggy back ECU.

 

can you link me to that thread please

i don't remember seeing a stock dyno sheet for the ralliart

 

it wasn't rrm it was ultimate racing that posted the numbers. And I think they are in the engine/drivetrain section

 

GM's 3.1L isn't that good for power, underwhelming.

GM didn't spice up the motor until the 3.4l in the Z34. It didn't take too long before th 3.8L in the Grand PRix GT, not the SC version.
