Whats faster between the two. The limited or the sport edition? and does the hood scoop serve any purpose or just physical appearance?

Whats faster between the two. Whichever one is 2wd, has the V8 and the least amount of people/gear in it. IIRC all 4th gens are speed limited to 113mph (or is it 126?). I doubt they could get to 126 given the superb aerodynamics of the SUV. The limited or the sport edition? and does the hood scoop serve any purpose or just physical appearance? Just looks...

haha well they are both 2wd both v6's and same amount of people. I do know that Sport Editions have an extra gear right? and haha yea its 113...but i removed my limiter and got it up to 124 in a short amount of time...it had alot more to go but im not gonna be stupid and run my 109mph rated tires at 125mph for that long unless i anticipate death.
 
No real speed difference- they have identical motors, transmissions, and gearing. The Sport has reportedly tougher rims, bigger brakes, and has the XREAS suspension which the Limited may or may not have.
 
Maybe the Sport Edition by an unnoticeable margin, since it's a tad lighter than the Limited.
 
More importantly, why are you wanting to know? Are we street racing T4R's now?

You should probably add some NOS and underglow. Some racing stickers might boost the HP too, breh.
 
I think the only reason for the pointless hood scoop is to make it look either "fun and sporty" or "fast and intimidating". I have not decided which, though:)
no offense to those with that option.

OMG you have NO idea how much FASTER my 4Runner is because it has the hood scoop. It's insane actually. :boink: :lol:

Ha ha ha ha! It's all for looks. I think it adds a nice touch in the lines of the hood. Did I pay more just for that? Naw. It was the upgraded brakes and again for looks, the tubular rack and steps. I didn't want leather in Las Vegas. The SR5 just wasn't for me, I didn't like the interior as much.

I AM however going to add at least one sticker to add 10+ HP at the rear wheels. I was thinking about Calvin peeing on a Ford emblem OR a "Powered by Toyota" decal. :toilet:

Edit: I admit, I stoplight drag race all the time. What happened when the water tanker and vinegar tanker collided? DOUCHE!! Haha
 
Dude my APR x1 sticker added 30 whp on top of the 40 hp it got me from just tuning. stickers add horse power and thats a fact:lol::lookout: I think the sport is the best looking of the 3 models but I couldn't get one as they were marked up a lot more than they should have been. I've already added the bigger brakes to my truck I'm just half way there to making it look like a full sport ed on my SR5. And as for the racing how do you know if he/she doesn't go to the track like I do?
 
I never thought of adding TWO stickers! :ybrick: I guess I thought the motor couldn't take the extra stress because of the forged rods. No wait, they are cast. No, forged. :dammit:

The Sport is faster cause of the hood scoop. It's in the owners manual, I swear. :nerd:
