Skyline vs Diablo

I would agree that a modified Skyline would have its best chances at winning a race with a 2WD, but unlikely a VT. I would also wager to say that a proper driver, even in a 2WD would still successfully pull a modified Skyline.

I have witnessed Diablo owners and test drivers alike that have no clue how to properly launch the car and result in little more than a lot of noise, clutch smoke, and maybe tire smoke. The proper exit is breathtaking and does not abuse the clutch, with little or no tire smoke.

I am reasonable to expect that there are highly modified Skylines that could possibly take even a properly launched Diablo, but that seems a bit pointless, in that the Skyline is modified to the hilt and the Diablo bone stock.

There are several very effective mods that can be done to the Diablo to increase the horsepower with very little investment. Mods that I would recommend any owner perform to their car.
