At the races

In normal race conditions, how is itpossible that a skyline (r34 550 bhp) would get taken by a MAzda Miata (450 bhp) in a 1.2 mile 3 lap race, secondly what can be done to improve the power output of the original skyline? :eek7:

Simply put, power to weight ratio

R34 GTR weight ~3672lbs
Mazda Miata weight ~2447lbs

But really it's very difficult to know without specifics such as mods, tuning, type of track which means type of handling is better, etc. etc.
Also, saying R34 Skyline is REALLY vague, I gave the weight for the GTR. But for all I know it could be a RWD GTT or just a GT.

hell even knowing all the mods and everything, its possible the guy in the skyline just got out drove!
