heh an all wheel driver car putting down over 300hp at the wheels is not that strong? the car isn't even that heavy. it weights 3400lbs. well its heavy for a sport compact car. but with 300 wheel horsepower thats around (350 crank hp) and over 300 ft lbs of torque at the crank. and all wheel drive. it can propel the GT-R to 60 in just 4.7 seconds and can run the 1/4 mile in 12.7-12.9 is thats not that fast stock. then i guess you and your friends honda's are faster. lolz

edit: more about the weight. a gt-r weights 3400bs. a 3000GT VR-4 weights 3600lbs. a supra twin turbo weights around 3400lbs and a 300ZX twin turbo weights 3500lbs and its only a 2 seater!! compared to that the skyline isn't soo heavy anymore isn't it?

They're all still heavy compared to my pick, the 2004 WRX STI US version at 3100 lbs. The better balance, lighter weight, and better and more efficient AWD system make this my choice.

:rolleyes: I don't think these cars qualify as sport compact cars. Their size and weight is close to a mustang and more than a camaro. I think they are probably considered full fledged sports cars.:smile:

I'll vote for the VR4 since I've voted for it twice with my pocketbook. :smile:

The Skyline will win this race based on reputation alone. Most of the people here have never even seen one live. I, of course, think its one of the uglier sports cars ever produced, but thats what opinions are for :tongue:

i have ridin in one, pretty phat, r-32 Gtr. the guy didnt boost it all the way cuz we were in a neighborhood, but it kicked ass. your right, they arent he best looking, but when you hear that engine and the turbo kick it, ho damn! but that right hand driver stuff trips me out.

I think the right hand drive is stupid, if they offered it in the US with left hand drive I think they would sell like crazy. This is the reason i didn't vote for it. if so i would. But I voted for the STI.

how is a constant all wheel drive running on a crude center limited slip more efficient then a fully computer controlled torque splitting AWD? while yoru always wasting power spinning all 4 wheels even when you don't have too, the skyline acts dominately as a RWD car. the whole cars tuned to handle like a RWD. only when it sense the front wheels needing more traction if will send up to 40% torque to the front wheels. therefore it won't have such annoyin understeer that a normal AWD would have. and plus after it takes off, the computer will stop ending power to the front wheels cuase it it no longer needed and it sends 100% of its power to just the rear wheels therefore you odn't have to deal with such a large power train loss that most AWD's are associated with.

well i know for a fact that its not. but thats exactly how the skylines AWD system works. you automatically assumed that i said it was the best in the world becuase you think it is the best in the world. the skyline itself is a very very good car. not hte fastest, but however its all wheel is one of my most advance in the world. and that i will boast about. anyways, have any of you guys seen Sti's even teh STi type RA's wehre there are no A/C no power anything go up against skylines and any other japanese super cars such as the evo7 the nsx type S zero, the RX-7 type RZ the freakin STi ranks dead last. it laps atleast 2 seconds slower then a full race breed R34 GT-R v-spec II. and guess what car is usually 1st? its mostly the skyline and ocassionaly the mitsubishi evo 7 type RS and this is all stock. and remember the STi type RA is the fastest WRX you can buy from that generation. the only WRX that i think can beat a skyline would be the 22B. now those cars are a monster.

It's not that hard, its more about remembering what side your windsheild wipers and blinkers are on. You'll turn your wipers on to make a left turn. It's some funny shit to see when "NEWBIES" get here and drive for the first time :icon16:

funny you say me and my freinds cars are slower than a skyline like you know what we got done to our cars . my car is slow but i just got it.... my friend has a civic hatch that would spank the skyline . my friend jeff has an integra that runs 9 sec 1/4 miles , but thats a stricktly drag car ..... but still the hatch runs low 11's ..... so yes my friends cars are faster :thefinger

Both my friends cars would smoke the skyline in the 1/4 mile (even the hatch that is a daily driver) you were talkin about how fast the skyline did the 1/4 mile then made a joke thinkin my friends cars couldnt do 1/4 mile faster but they can so...... :thefinger read your quote again and see , never said anything about cornering.... skyline gtr's are sick im not sayin they are slow i dont even know too much about em i just heard that from a friend .... just asking...no reason to flame and whtteg keep your oppinions too yourself from now on, no one wants to hear your stupidity :biggrin2:

Listen newbie you should think about what you post. Did I say anything about your friends honda being slower than the skyline in the 1/4? No Did I think you were tring to make it out that your friends hondas were better than the skyline? Yes, I was just stating that the skyline was not biult for drag racing and your friends hatch was or it would not be running 11's. If you do some mods to the skyline to the extent and price of what has been done to the hatch then the skline would walk it in the quarter easily. The 12's from the skyline are stock trim, what are the stock times for the hatch in stock trim? high 16's at best? And was anybody else objecting to what I said? NO
So why don't you take your own advice:flipa:
