The Bet

ok me and my friend J have this bet going for $10,000

the bet is that within ten years we will race our cars for 10 grand

terms
if i can get a Skyline R34 GTR Vspec II

and if he can get a 2002 Saleen SR

with in ten years



I'm gonna modify the bollocks of it


i think bet should be more tho since he picked a ridiculously expensive car and me modifying the car i get will cost alot altho i have no idea if this'll happen ..........


10 years tho !!!!!!!


the idea is to race around a track whoever has the fastest car wins


o and then there's the second bet which is what do the chicks prefer ie to find out what car gets the most girls .....


SILLY STUFF

Why an R34??? If you found a R32 V-SpecII you would have a ton more $$ left over, same engine, lighter chassis, you do the math.....

Since this is an Initial D forum, I would say you should get an R32 because Nakazoto had one, but he lost every race in the show. So you should get an R34.

R32 and R34 has a different chassis. the R34 is stiffer. wider and but has about the same wheel base. each generation of skylines does come with a different chassis though. just like how the R33 had the longest wheel base and such. in my opinion besides straight line. the R34 is superior in every other way. then again. the R34 has about 9 years of development over the R32.

for the price. the S7 is not that fast. it weights around 400 lbs less then a lambourgini yet doens't even go as fast. i've seen videos of modded skylines taking lambos. with only a fraction of the cost. for example. Motorex's R34 BLACKBIRD skyline can take the S7 on the straights. even though the S7 has an amazing suspension. the R34 is nothing to sneeze at either. a NISMO R34 with 450hp can beat a Porsche 996 and it still has a one year factory warranty. now i see that as the same class as a S7. now all you gotta do is get alittle more creative with the mods and boom. S7 is gone.

saleen s7 would get more chicks..since its such an exotic car, and the doors are those weird flip up thingy type stuff...or whatever..
I can see GTRs get chicks..but iv seen too many now...they are getting more commen by the year. still great looking cars...but i would go for the S7

If you really want to go for agressivness (is that a word), power, and the ability to pick up chicks, within a 10 year period..why not check out some future model cars..i mean...in 10 years the R34 will be like a supra TT to us now. I would bet the R35 would be well into development by the end of your bet. I would have looked ahead and probably thought of a better car to purchase in the future...ahem..Viper....anyway..i think i need to stop rambling..my spelling and gramer is horrible. I think it would be smart for people to shoot me now.

<aims carefully> just hold reaaal still...

Okay, there is no way a Lamborghini takes the S7. Lamborghinis have great accelleration and top speed, because they have a good engine, and AWD. When it comes to handling, braking, anything else, they struglle with 3900 lbs of handicap. The S7 is much lighter, and has a 7 liter Ford based smallblock. In street prep it makes something like 600hp...

Besides, he's not talking about the S7, he's talking about the Saleen/Speedlab SR. The SR is a loosely mustang sytled front engined GT car, with a tube frame chassis, and I'm not sure, but I think a 351 based engine. It is deadly fast, and is a true race car(1.5gs on skidpad). The SR would eat the S7 for lunch...

The S7 acceleration is on a par with the McLaren F1, and as you said, its handling capabilities are awesome. How are you comparing it to a R34?
