GSX vs. GST

[450whpGSX]

I read that a GSX will have a GST beat frop a stop, but the GST will beat the GSX if it is already on a roll. Why is that?

 

[1fast97gsx]

gsx weighs more and has more drivetrain loss. I'd still take a gsx over a gst though because how often do you race for money for more than a 1/4 mile and the top end difference isn't THAT severe.

also the GST transmission is geared more for topend while the GSX transmissions is geared more for acceleration but, i do disagree with 1fast97gsx i have NEVER lost to a 14b 1G/2G AWD with basic mods with my GST w/ a T-25

So let me get this straight, on your stats:
1/4 Mile Timeslip 14.878 @ 91.700


I would say you've raced STOCK 1G AWD with 14b's. Or rather SO FAR you've never lost to one.

Let's not get personal guys. 1fast97gsx has the right idea.

Closed.

Oh, and if you'd like to search -which I'm not allowed to tell you to do- it's been discussed many, many times in the past. However, they always seem to focus on the dreaded "weight" of the AWD chassis, and tend to forget about it having a lower final drive ratio.

But still, closed.
