Guest Redemption Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I was watching initial D fourth stage ep. 21 and Joushima Toushima was driving an S2000. They were explaining how it was an incredible car and said that "Even though its an NA, the F20-type engine pulls out 125 horsepower per liter" I know what FF FR RR and mid-engine cars are. But i have never heard of an NA car before. What does it stand for? :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooeric Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 FF FR RR does not mean mid engine. Mid engines cars like the MR2 or NSX are midengine (midship) the engine is mounted directly behind the driver for a 50/50 weight split When you see the s2000 thats a front-mid mounted car. with the engine mounted very close to the firewall to try and get a 50/50 split its really more of a 55/45 and please dont use initial D as a learning tool about cars.

Well yea, i knew that, i didnt mean to say that FF FR and RR meant mid ship. I know the differences :nod: thanks anyways. So what does naturally aspirated do to the car then? Wouldnt having a turbo or super help it out allot more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Boost is always good:) But that is up to the car companies to decide. Usually based on number of projected sales and profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like an air cooled CPU you expect more from a watercoold CPU same for cars with a turbo. That ant noting my bike makes just shy of 200 HP from 1 leter even stock. Not bad for a Honda too bad Toyota doesnt make a true sportscar like the supra still. nothing wrong with the celeca except FWD.
