We raced a Vz-R, and the 1st/08 .....and i must say the car runs really good....we got a JDM prelude type S.
Now we won the race, but although i don't know how far apart the cars were at the finish line, i must say the Vz-R gave the Type S a nice run.
It made me wonder whether it's a N1 model or not.....lol....oh and the type S was stock, while the Vz-r, almost stock with a performance filter...but i guess although the type S has more power than the Luciano (pulsar) Vz-R , one must take into consideration that the Vz-R is much much lighter.............but yes it is a good car.
And i don't think one could actually compare the internals of a Honda with that of a nissan.......damn!!......a skyline GTR can handle up to 600 HP with just the stock internals, while still quite new.
But also consider the fact that Honda doesn't make turbo charged car ( anymore...i think there was one like in the 80's or so) , and yet still the NSX Zero Type S .........damn.......280HP stock, and the car is made with the Japanese HP limitation of 280HP from a production car in mind....so BOTH companies are great.
For small yet effiecient and powerful, I would go with the honda........For sky's the limit, hey give Nissan their props.....GTR all the way.
