I didn't realise the chassis improvements on the 4 had made such a huge difference to the grip of the car, but i see theirs only one second difference between the V8 and the 320hp 4 on the top gear fast lap times. So your definitely right.
I cant wait to see a comparisons when top gear get a 4R to test around the track.
I forgot about the gear box, yeah with the ECU being locked there will be no extra tuning possible.
Thanks for your reply
Also thats a manual 320, the sequential 350 kicks the v8’s ass for sure. There probably will be aftermarket upgrades in due time I guess, there will always be someone throwing a standalone ecu at it at some point, first to do it is just a bit more expensive. I also think most people (like myself) buy the 350 sequential thinking they want more power, but because this car actually puts the power down, thats not something I long for that much.
I’ve done a one try pull on cold tyres on a dusty road and managed a 2.68 sec 0-60mph which is pretty damn fast as a real world achievement with lots left on the table. (0-200 in 9,97 isnt bad either)
No way a v8 will beat this, not even with hot tyres
