Range Rover, Range Stormer, or the LR3 it should have smoked you sensless... maybe there was a terrible driver in there.

~ a mega Land Rover enthusiast.


i believe that those are powered by BMW 4.5L V8.

Back to the subject. My very first car, a '92 corolla ran a 19sec 1/4 mile, and my best time was 18.5sec. That was truly an embarassment. I was planning on swaping a JDM 4AGZE in it, but a FWD platform just doesn't do it for me anymore. I would definately jump on an AE86 though if I saw the right one.

I don't have a race track in New York. I think the closest in Long Island but I'm not sure. They are building one in Staten Island so as soon as it's up, I'll also be able to check my time. Until then, I'll say, my car is okay but not where I want to be.

Yup, but not the LR3 and Range Rover Sport. They run on 4.4 V8's and a couple of the models of the LR3 run 4.0 V6. And I need to make a correction. The Range Stormer is a prototype (I dont know why I put it there) I meant to say a Range Rover Sport. Also the new Range Rover fleets run on Jag engines. Some are even supercharged . My old man has the Bimmer engine though.

Specs for those of you who want to know (and why I think a land rover couldnt have been beaten with a descent driver) :


Range Rover: 32 valve V8 305 hp @5750 RPM (Supercharged model: 400 hp @ 5750 RPM)
325 lb-ft torque @4000 RPM (Supercharged model: 420 lb-ft torque @ 3500 rpm)


Range Rover S : 4.4L 300-hp V8 (Supercharged: 4.2L 390-hp V8)

LR3 4.4 V6: 216 hp

LR3 4.4 V8 SE / HSE : 300 hp

P.S. No flame intended : )

What an idiot! Why would you trash a land rover like that? It needs to be in the mud, not on the track. If I had the S/C RR Sport, Id be taking it to the track.
