how much torque are these 1000 and 1600 hp skylines pulling?

as i saw a quote from someone "hp sells parts, torque wins races"
i can generate 700 hp with my hand right now. Not for very long, mind you. P=w/t Im interested in how much work the engine can do it, not how fast.

I'm sure they make quite a bit of torque. Probably 800+.

Anyway, back to the beginning of this comparo (i got in late ), I'd take the Prancing horse any time.

I think the HKS GT-R was pullin somewere around 1,100 f/lbs of torque. Not completely sure on that though...

actually your wrong

it is 205lbs of torque. Nothing would be zero, does that help clarify for you, or are you really bad at math.

I was mocking you, i guess the simple minded dont know when they are being insulted. anyways 205lbs is plenty of torque for a daily driven car, as for you and your camaro's which have a low reliabilty rating, I am sure you enjoy their torque =) As well as what they help you cover up

I like Ferrari's very much. Ive never seen a Skyline GTR, any of them.. Everytime i see a Ferrari, my heart jumps. I just think its the Prestige of owning a Ferrari that makes me attracted to them. But what i hear of skylines is there badass. I wouldnt mind any of them in the end..

The 1028 hp Croydon GTR here in New Zealand laid down 1380nm of torque or 1017.834 flbs of torque at all 4 wheels. I am unsure of what the HKS Drag car threw but will be going over to my mates house who has the article in High Performance Imports.

Nissan Gloria is a Q45 Looking thing, its actually even in AF for a Forum, but the thing can be beefed up to 800HP in its 2.6L inline 6 with 2 turbos. It will do 200+mph

Higher cornering speed doesn't mean better handling.

:huh:

One would think that a car that is capable of higher cornering speeds would have better handling.
