Which RAV4 is faster? Let's find out!
Both cars are 1997 Toyota RAV4.
The purple one has a 3S-GTE engine, with a turbo and 260 horsepower.

I'm looking at 98 Rav 4, AWD automatic with less than 50k miles, asking $9, 000 - great condition with some speed sensor engine code errors.

Maybe I've watched too much Scotty Kilmer, but he's AWD for the maintenance issues/extra weight/less MPG. Any thoughts? Love your videos!

Hey brother, I just bought a 1998 RAV4 all wheel drive and the front subframe is severely rusted and I would like to change it but cannot find very much information on it. Could you do a video on this or point me toward some information? Thank you and I love your videos

Off the line it looks almost dead even. More hp model definitely needs help sticking at the start then it would be no contest.

Смысла мало в такой конкуренции))))
Сделай гонку rav 4 gte - Impreza - lancer -skyline turbo....

Thought there would be more of a difference at launch

My 1995 rav with a cool I take and a 2.4 gear box gives the 3s a run ....

What if the 2dr get the 3SGTE??? Lighter + extra power = fast CUV? Up the power to 300hp it could be a faster car with light body.

Boost controller at about 16psi would really wake her up

Y'all gotta do a roll race.
From a dig, all you're managing to do is ruin the clutch and gears. These cars aren't meant for that kind of abuse, it's too much grip and not enough power. Even when swapped.

Now are you goons turbo the fe or engine swap it🤔

[angelmaldonado]

Hay Paul, next time give me a call and I'll ship out my RAV4 to you and you can give him a run for his money. RAV4 3SFE TURBO. (just joking)

Можно было и не соревноваться, тут вообще смысла нет

Great video, but who races with AC on ?! 🤣

[BudgetBuildBureau]

Love it! Thanks for putting in the work on these videos, it was great filming with you. The race turned out as expected haha😂. It’s interesting seeing both cars squat and sway as they go!

[gurpreetsoomal]

Definitely need stiffer suspension for the extra power, but I love it!

Доброго дня. Сделайте видео по замене грм и всех прокладок под крышкой грм на 3s gte. Можно бы еще и замену маслосъемных колпачков не снимая гбц
