XRS vs Supercharged Corolla - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

MrRavenX · 09-27-2004, 12:31 AM

Speculation on who would win in a 1/4 mile race?

XRS
170 hp @ 7,600 rpm
127 lb.-ft. @ 4,400 rpm

Corolla w/TRD Supercharger
166 hp @ 6,800 rpm
145 lb.-ft. @ 4,000 rpm

Personally, I think the boosted Corolla would win, but not by much. The roots supercharger produces almost all of it's power at 2200 rpm and climbs slowly after that til redline, whereas the XRS won't see any power til 7,000 rpm. The top end acceleration on the XRS might be slightly better, but not enough to edge out on the boosted Corolla.

Not to mention I'm sure there will be an oversized pulley available soon (if there isn't already).

Any other opinions?

SC corolla would win..

SC automatic can run about 7.4 second on 0-60mph.. that's the same time most mags say about the XRS.. but SC manual can easily do 6.5 second on 0-60mph..

Since you have an auto and the SC, I have a question for you...
Does your car boost in 1st gear?
The reason I ask is because TRD disabled boost for 1st gear on the Camry supercharger setup. I never figured out why.

SC would win.... i've already kept up with a 2zz-ge powered matrix in my ae92 (smallport 4age powered)..... and my mr2 i'm expecting to be quite a bit quicker

yes it does.... i've kill a 92 GSR (160hp) right from 1st gear..

btw.. here is a small video clip i took a while back, in this clip, the 0-60 was a little bit slower then usual because i didn't have my wheel straght when i start the run and i was drive only with one hand (the other hand holding the camera)..

also, you should be able to heard the supercharger sound in the video..

Supercharger would win, because you have more torque.. torque is what wins races... horsepower what wins the markets.

supercharged corolla, easily.

96camry4dr · 09-27-2004, 07:20 AM

id have to go with the s/c corolla

Ukrainian102 · 09-27-2004, 03:21 PM

How about a s/c XRS?

Fresh ride btw.

lol..... beating a 92 gsr isn't tough.... b17's..... and probably hasn't seen a rebuild..... if they're lucky they might break in the upper 15's.... friend of mine has one of the very first 10 GSR's to come stateside (original owner)... now that gsr you wouldn't keep up with

rolla-XRS · 09-27-2004, 06:22 PM

I think it depends on what the benchmark is.
0-60 I'd bet the s/c rolla to win
1/4 mile I'd bet the XRS to win.

All we need is a track and someone's s/c rolla and we can go prove it for the pundits.

here is the 1/4mile time for the manual SC corolla...

third one from the top..

i believe XRS's 1/4 mile is around 15.6sec

btw.. my 1/4 time before my new mods was 15.6 @ 92mph

lol.. maybe.. but beating it by 2 car length?? remember, his got a 5 speed manual and i have a 4 speed automatic.. that makes a hug differences...

also, 92 GSR was rated 160hp... and from the owner.. he rebuild his engine not too long ago...

but.. you are right.. i won't be able to beat the newer version of GSR but i pretty sure the manual corolla will do...

toyotaspeed90 · 09-27-2004, 07:35 PM

hmm.... 14.8 is slower than i expected.... and 150whp seems low for a supercharged 130hp motor.....
