Re: Supra vs Skyline

It's hard to compare two cars that were never meant to be compared. They're completely different from one another. One has an all wheel drive set up, that is if it's a gtr, and a 2.6l twin turbo. The other is rwd and has a 3.0l twin turbo. That's almost half a litre difference. Either one can be faster than the other depending on the car's weight, wheel horsepower, and the driver. i don't believe one car can ever be "fully modded". Then what is the race? Top end? 1/8 mi? 1/4mi? Race course? I think the best comparison could be made between an R33 series 2 gts with an RB26DETT swap and a MKIV Supra with a 1JZ-GTTE. Although the GTS Skyline never came stock with an RB26 and a MKIV never came stock with a 1JZ. Almost direct comparison though: Both rear wheel drive with lsd, roughly same weight, series 2 r33 came around in 1996-1999, around the last days of the US having the Supra, and finally the skyline having a 2.6L TT and the Supra with a 2.5L TT. Point 1 L difference is much better than .4. Although the Series two came with a 2.5L stock on most occasions(rarely a 2.0 inline 6), it's a single turbo. So from a dig to the top end, completely stock, supra would most likely jump the line, skyline would lead up to around 120 or, and then the Supra would take top end.
