Do you guys think that a Formula one can take the Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak (Year 2000) in a drag race. :ouch:

This is a hard one, because I remember this car doing 0 to 139mph in only 4.9 seconds. I know the F1''s are able to do 400 meters in the 9 seconds, but I think this toyota can take the F1 car.

Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak 4WD (2000) over 800 HP and weight 1950lbs

ENGINE

Engine Preparation: Toyota Racing Development, U.S.A
Type: 4 Cylinder, Twin Cam, 4 Valves per Cylinder, Fuel Injected, Turbocharged
Displacement: 2.1 Liters
Lubricant: Pennzoil
Fuel: TRD Blend

There aren't any truck period in GT3, are you talking about GT4? If so wrong forum, or are you speaking real life terms?
 
A.K.A. this:

Yeah it looks wicked. It might be able to out drag an F1...i'm not sure how much power F1 cars have these days but aint it less than 800? The Tacoma could therefore win perhaps.
 
You know, they make special race cars for people who can't turn or don't have the patience for a race that lasts more than 10 seconds. Ever heard of dragsters? A Top Fueler would take either.

I guarantee that Tacoma will reach the top of Pikes Peak faster than an F1.
 
Dude, drag racers can turn. You know when sometimes you floor it in a car, there's wheelspin, and it kind of wiggles? And you have to keep it straight using the 'wheel? Well imagine that with over 2,000BHP. Those guys are working seriously hard to keep the power down, and if you don't believe me, check out Drag Racing on Five US.
 
Yes they do work hard to keep it straight. You can't see the front skinnies going back and forth constantly cause they are going so fast. But inside its a tug-o-war to keep it straight.

No I mean real life,

So why post this in the GT3 section then? :odd:

An F1 car isn't designed for pure acceleration. I read somewhere that its wheels are too far apart.
 
Obviously there will be cars that outaccelerate a F1 car, such as professional drag cars, or possibly this Toyota pikes peak car. An F1 car would murder it on a track though. Is there even anything out there that can beat a modern F1 car around a track?

Sorry but I don't know about that, because I heard the F1's were made for handling and pure acceleration. Went Honda tested their F1 against their racing boat and Bike they said the F1 hit on the 9 seconds mark on the 400 Meters.

You are right, on the Track this car is outmatch by the F1, but in a drag race I go for the Tacoma.
 
It would depend mostly on the gearing. F1's are usually geared to have a top speed of no less than 190mph on most circuits (monte carlo is probably the only exception). This Pikes Peak Tacoma is probably geared to do no more than 150mph. The Tacoma will be getting closer to its Vmax when passing the 1/4mile mark than the F1 would. The Tacoma also benefits from its AWD system when trying to get the power down from standstill.
