Why does every one mock currens?

[Bling]

But surely a 3sge curren must give one a run for its money?

would be close to a ae101 i'd say down the 1/4 if not faster

blacktop on the otherhand is diff story

[Snoozin]

I think Phil's Curren was doing mid 15's at best from memory that time he dragged it?

[Mr Revhead]

yeah i wouldnt be placing $$$ on an early 3gse curren against any manual 20v
20v has the friend of weight and gear ratios.

[Akane]

Rather Curren than AW11
that's all I have to say about that.

You would look quite the part in a Curren I'll buy you some soft toys if you get one!!!

Mr Revhead - Got valve envy?

biatch please, if I ever do own one it'll be 3S-GTE'd up running 25psi of vtax turbz.

[Lith]

nah, iv got waaaay more valves then you!

Somehow I feel like I got the better deal

[RomanV]

Even when my SW had the gen 2 3SGE, there was a COLOSSAL difference between that and the curren... It's hard to believe that the curren had an extra ~20hp, because it was just sooo much slower, and felt like such a... funless barge.

I swapped cars with my mate once since I've had the gen 4 engine, and he couldnt believe that it was still a 2 litre engine, more or less the same as his.

Weight is the worst thing for NA engines, and Currens aint light.

Curren = 1190kg
20v (ae101) = 1090kg

Not much in it really, on paper the curren is faster do those 3s's really make 180hp? or is it a bit of a lie.

Or could they just have really really crap gear ratios?

[flygt4]

i wouldnt be suprised if the curren was a lot heavier than that rated weight.
my ae101 was 1100, with some extra bits on it, id say most would be ~ 1050kg.

plus those non-vvti 3sge's really arent that special. ~100-110kw atw maybe.

[Arthanon]

My first car was a curren..... but it had the 3s-fe.. it handled well.

It was what it was....

[bluemaumau]

yea im pretty sure currens are more than 1200, especially 3sge ones

[Bling]

I think Phil's Curren was doing mid 15's at best from memory that time he dragged it?

yeah 15.8 was his fastest I think

anyone else with a curren taken it down the 1/4?

[Loudtoy]

And id love to see a 20V beat infinates curren

Interesting, what has he done to it. You may or may not have heard about bazda's car. Thats a 20 valve remeber. Or timid was runnign around a few years ago that was/is also a 20 valve. Oh also don't forget about the audi's some of them are 20 valve although slightly different with 5 cylinders i guess

[flygt4]

i was going to mention, in addition to my 20v, there is brendon pushing ~200-220kw atw, barry with 340kw, matt dunn with 200-220kw , so if you spend as much time+$$+energy playing with a 20v, youll have the same or better result as a fwd 3sgte, in a better lookin car

[soopachargen]

dont wanna be picky... but isnt brendons car 16v??

[flygt4]

ah true my bad hes not cool enuf for 20 yet, 16v's are for virgins , one day tho... one day ...

[Crucible]

16v's are for virgins

hey hey thats enough of that, maybe bigports if anything, ask brendon what his makes

.....wait for it

[Pies]

Why does every one mock currens?

cos its a waste of time mocking cavaliers since everyone knows they are shit already

[Blackstripe]

There was a turbo curren in one of the dealership papers once...

What a waste of time and money

Unique tho

[skoty]

I'd say people mock currens because...

-most have slush boxes in them (autos)
-rice boys get there hands on them and put on loud exhausts
-they are FWD and not exactly that quick

...in saying that I wouldnt call them ugly, they would still be less shamefull than driving a honda. You probably wouldnt get sh#t for owning a curren if ya dropped in a 3SGTE

[Punter]

yea im pretty sure currens are more than 1200, especially 3sge ones

According to http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/ No.

But who knows if thats right.
