Top 10: World’s Fastest Time Attack Cars?
Carter
posted on July 20, 2010 18:31
Top 10 Cont.
The BSM BNR32 Skyline GT-R proves that the old school GT-R can still be competitive despite its nose heavy weight distribution, dated suspension geometry and brick like aerodynamics. Click
here
for more info on this car.
Check out this
video
of the Hi Octane Racing R34. Click
here
for more info on this car.
The R-Magic RX-7 packs around 560 hp from a side port rotary. It is also light at 1040 kg. Click
here
for more info on this car.
The Pan Speed Racing RX-7 also uses a side port 13B for power. The reduced overlap of side inlet ports is probably very turbo friendly. Click

For those of you that do not know what a "side port" 13B is, it is the JDM way of describing the intake ports. The ports are still on the side housing as compared to a peripheral port where the intake ports are on the rotor housing. A "side port" refers to what we Americans would call a "street port".
In Japanese (all o's are long):
"sydo porto" = street port
"buridgee porto" = bridge port
"petty-porto" = periphial ports

Eric I'm betting the correct Japanese spelling is more like:
"saido porto" = street port
"buridugi porto" = bridge port
"petti porto" = peripheral ports (or maybe "peti")
But I only took a bit of Japanese in college. =/
There is no "sy" in Japanese, nor "d" on it's own or "gee" I don't think. No "ty" either. "Y" is a consonant only in Japanese I believe and not a vowel.

You are probably right, but did they teach Romanji in college? I was just using simple phonetics.
Actually it probably isn't even "porto" since the Japanese cannot pronounce Rs. It's probably more like "pohto".

No idea what Romanji is. (Looking it up on Wikipedia shows they did not teach it at my level.) Hiragana, katakana, and kanji was what I learned obviously.
Yah, phonetics... Totally different. I gotcha.
You're right about "porto" too, there's no "r" alone from what I know. No consonants are ever alone except a trailing "n" at the end of a word.
So yah "porto" is gunna either be "poruto" or "poto" or something like that.
No reason for me to harp on the Japanese though obviously. This isn't www.nihonIQ.com! =D

On this topic of cyber evo's power, I checked a few sources and their official modifications lists on video option feature about the car, WTAC official site, unlimited works and my notes from a meeting I had with those guys in 2010 everything confers the power level to be over 650. It's possible they exaggerated their power level, but why?

woops I meant that post for the other discussion. But on this topic, Eric they do have an R sound, らりるれろ but the sound can be anything from an L to an R or a D sound to americans and it seems to change with the context. There is even a department store in yokohama named poruto...
