Anyone Notice that kszx sounds a lot like b13seriesser?

Well its because they are posting from the same Comp.
Either the same person, or an equivlantly ignorant family member or friend.


Oh dont you love it when ppl try to be clever and only make themselfs look like fools.

also this bothers me, running low 12 seconds in the quarter mile with 400hp? is that supposed to be something spectacular?

It was an EVO II, running on street legal tyres and with full interior. It's someones daily driver.

Compare a 400hp Skyline Vs a 400hp Evo and we'll see how close things get.

They Skyline was an R32 with exhaust and chip, its had been dyno'd at about 400hp. The 276hp quoted by Nissan is false, the real number is closer to 330ish. (I though everyone knew that???? )

along with the fact that almost anyone who races puts their cars into a diet, and goes forth in weight reduction process which should've helped a bit.

Really? In Gran Turismo maybe, but certianly not when the same car is also your daily driver.

the skyline GT-R was made to take on the JTC nothing more, it's a pure breed race car, with the altecca et-s super computer, and the 4 wheel drive, it's a force to be reckoned with.

Its certianly a "force to be reckoned with" but the rest is total crap.
Have you ever seen a GTR? or been in one? Its a pure bred road car.

And I think you mean the JGTC, not JTC. The cars in it have very little in common with the road cars they represent, to begin with they are all RWD. (AWD is not allowed)

If Subaru is only winning because of Tommi Makinen does'nt that mean Mitsubitshi only won CAUSE of Tommi Makinen?

Oh my god! You said something intelligent and rational!
Did it hurt?

19 psi is still rather high, even if technology advances there is only so much pressure the stock gaskets can hold til it breaks.

Depends what they make the stock gasket out of.
If you can buy aftermarket gaskets that will hold a lot more boost that only 19psi, then Im sure Mitsi can install the same thing, or something better.

My god, do you honestly judge a car's greatness by what it can do in a straight line

Did I ever say I judge a cars performance by its ablity to run a 1/4?

No I didn't think I did.
I actualy find 1/4 mile racing rather boring, and considering how quickly its all over rather a waste of time. But a race is a race, and I merely sighted a race where an EVO did beat a GTR.

The following year it was banned from JTC racing for it's complete domination of it's performance of it's debut year, and was then nicknamed GODZILLA for STOMPING the competition.

The GTR was debuted on the R30 platform in 1988, it was the R32 platofrm that became known as GODZILLA. But not becasue of its performance in the JGTC. The car was given its name by the Australian press after it won twice in a row at Bathurst. (Australian touring car endurance race)
The car was not banned from the JGTC, but the use of AWD incurred such a huge weight penalty that it was pointless useing it. (same thing happened in the BTCC (british touring cars) after the AWD Audi's dominated, and in Australia after the GTR and Seira Cosworths Dominated.

Initial D said it the best

You don't seriously get your advice and knowledge from a Comic do you?
Next you'll be telling us you can fly faster than a speeding bullet and shoot spider web out of your wrists.

Oh, and yes. You CAN get your very own Skyline R-32 GTR for 25,000.00 STREET LEGAL in the US.

Yes but its a 2nd hand car thats 12 years old. Has very high millage (but will have been wound back) costs twice what its really worth.
A new EVO VIII might be a little more expensive, but its a NEW car, with a warrenty, and garunteed parts avliablity.

The evo series is a good solid racing platform, but for the price it's missing a few bolts, they try to cater to hard on the people that are on a budget, and true sports cars and performance and price is a hard compromise, I just personally think a lot on the Evo series was compromised

Just what are these "compromises"?
I think Mitsi did an awsome job of packaging a very fast car. IMO its not missing anything a performance car needs.
hp - check
awsome handling - check
bucket seats - check
small well balanced wheel - check
aggresive styleing - check
race history - check

whats missing?

not to mention that mitsubitch is owned by Chyrsler and Dodge, and do you think they don't play a role in your car's reliability issues? they're just using the japanese name to lure you in, and then give you their cars at a lower price

Chyrsler owns a share of Mitsi, not all of it.
And how the hell are cars designed and built in Japan ment to be affected by reliablity issues of cars designed and built in the US?

I'm sorry Americans don't know how to develop small motors in thinking "there is no replacement for displacement" theory.

What has this got to do with the EVO?
The car and its engine were designed in Japan by the Japanese, the masters of the small displacement engine.

also the Rx-7 3rd Gen priemired at under 30 grand also

The 3rd gen RX7 came out in the mid 80s.
Do I need to tell you about comparing prices from the 80s with prices 20 years later? here's a hint. "Inflation"

Evo 8 @ 19PSI... 275hp... take off the turbo and you have a 110 horsepower car. TRASH

Actualy the version sold to the rest of the world has a quoted 280ps (275hp) but a real 300+hp. I think you'll find the US Spec version will also have more than the quted hp figure, probobly the same 300+ that the rest of the world gets. (the EVO VII is sold in places with far worse gas than what is avliabe in US with no troubles at all)





Now, do you actualy have anything rational and truthful to say?
Or prehaps some evidence to back up your claims?
