If neither was modded, they had many K's on the odometer and had able drivers.........
..........which would win in a battle on the twisties of Old Pac
Which would win 0-100km/h
Oh and if highly modded which would be better?
I am in the market and can't decide

The sprinter is a corolla, it even says so on them The last good sprinter was built in 1969 anyway
Quote: | seriously cannonball on here was driving pretty hard on an old pac cruise behind me with a 96kw 4age but new suspension that was rooted and i left him behind, only mods to my car springs shocks and 15inch trx mags.

Sounds like fairy tales to me, where is this cannonballs dude? I want to hear his side of the "story".

Are you sure you are not also logging onto this forum as cannonball just so you can make up stories about the rona ripping AE86's a new arsehole?

Please keep it on topic people, I just want answers to my questions from those with experience. Don't turn this into another Tech and Conversion style thread that is just full of misleading rumour and 10th hand information.
If you have nothing useful to say please go post your dribble in the T & C section

RT142 is puss...
haha anyone who thinks the rt142 has sporting potential is in the same wacko catagory as those who buy VN commodores for the same reason.....ie bogans!!!
yeah it has a little torque but thats it......so if u want to be a bogan skip the rt142 and get the VN...
I would not spend over $500 on a corona...
any desent sprinter is 5 times that....sprinter has class, hard to define, but only if modified - 4ac is junk, minimum required is 4agze (then u will love it!!)

OK
This event that Corona is getting a LOT of mileage out of did happen, but
this was the first (ie onle ever driven round the block to make sure nothing fell off ) drive with :-
completely new suspension with no real setup (shocks actually way too hard),
newly reco'd 2 way in new JDM disk brake diff,
gutted biasing valve so i had a heap of rear brakes and bugger all front brakes
12 year old tyres (i just checked the production date tonight )
New adjustable anti roll bar on the rear, but pissy original item still on the front.
Oh, and an "eyeball" wheel alignment, that kept pulling to the right.
All this on unfamiliar wet roads.
I do seem to remember though, that once i got onto the old Pac, a road i know much better, that there was a certain corona remained a good way back in my mirrors despite plenty of overtaking opportunities:roll:. Despite myself getting it sideways a couple of times.
So yes, it did happen, but.

So in other words, he's bignoting himself over staying in front of you, regardless of all the above reasons why you shouldnt even be pushing the car, even on familiar roads...
Niiice...
Gee corona, I wonder why you stayed in front of him

my old stock 4ac sprinter would always flog my mates old corona straight line, twisties and all, i drove it a few times and it was the biggest peice of shit ever. i cannot see how it could dream of keeping up with a 4age modded spoonter. nothing beats first hand experience.

well while it wasnt planned, i had been carefull all day, but on the uphil section of the pac i felt a little more confident to get on the power a little earler out of the corners, and it got a little loose on me, but not seriously out of shape. And i did learn from this and eased off

i'll agree with that when mine was stock is was pretty dodgy, ie in the wet it'd step out willy nilly going straight thru round abouts at even 25kph.
I reckon you could scrape the sills on the road thru hard cornering, but since doing a few minor changes it handles shitloads better and holds a lot more speed thru corners.
