SC IS200 vs IS300
SC IS200 vs IS300
The IS300 has 215PS/288Nm stock.
However, the IS200 has shorter gearing (21%, 4.7% and 9.5% on 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears respectively), and slight weight advantage (about 10%).
So, they will be very, very close.
The IS200 S/C gets 205PS/261Nm according to the swiss tuner Bemani.

Standard IS200 (manual): 9.5s
Standard IS200 (auto): Can't find any numbers. Probably too slow to measure.
Supercharged IS200 (manual): 7.3s (according to TTE)
Standard IS300 (auto): 7.4s
Standard IS300 (manual): 6.8s
The manual IS300 only needs one gear change as it does 62mph in second gear.

I saw that episode too
Although in this situation they should be accurate (at least to each other) as they should have been tested in the same way as it's the same manufacturer and models from the same time.

The only factor to me is the gearbox, manual vs manual the 300 has to win that race.

Also I forgot about the manual IS300, I just assumed we were all talking about the normal UK auto version.

27-11-2019, 11:15 AM #16Trouble is nobody actually specified what sort of race the two would have, the question was just 'which is faster' and without knowing what sort of conditions the cars are in you can't really answer that. Standing start? Rolling start, from what speed? Up to what speed, or is it a set distance?
