How fast is a 86 with 20V?

[NoHachi]

There is no way in hell that a silvertopped AE86 will be much quicker then a CRX vtec. For what its worth, I would put my money on the crx. It's a car thats almost as light as the AE86 but puts out at least 150 crank horsepower. The FWD driveline is MUCH more efficient in putting that power to the wheels, and honda drivelines are beautiful. In the end I'm guessing the honda has a 30hp advantage at the wheels, from there its up to the driver.
I'm not saying this to put you down. Its just that if you choose the silvertop for its power, you will be dissapointed. Sure in a AE86 stripped to 800kg and some sticky rubber, you might be able to get into sub 8 second 0-60's. But isn't going to be easy. Be wise, choose the GZE for power and look at the 20v for character. For that money it could also be worth your while to make your own IRTB or carb setup. Perhaps with better cams. The end result would make the power you want, have the IRTB respons and feel, but would be nowhere as driveable as the 20V in daily traffic.
(As for the 200hp 20v with just a piggyback...show me the dynoplot or a video from the dyno session and I will eat my own hair (ala Clarkson), hows that for faith..)
