hi for all GT-R lovers

i am one of NISSAN SKYLINE LOVERS and i have afriend who love FORD MUSTANG but i want to know which the fastest NISSAN SKYLINE GTR34 or FORD MUSTANG COBRA

thank and keep it up becuse GTR IS THE BEST OS THE BEST

Look up the 1/4 times and you will have your answer.

You truthfully can not compare the two vehicles, since the are not priced the same. $4$ compare it to a roush that is supercharged and then you will have a $4$ and the Stang will win.

But I would still take the GT-R.

Stangs are a little to common, I should know I have one. Peace

There is only ONE MUstang that I know exists in Malaysia and it's driven by a lady royalty over here!
Would love to race against a Mustang including yours, SkylineUsa!

Having said so I fell in love with Mustang ever since the Bullit days. In fact I think the GTR's looks owe substantially to Mustang. Is it true or is it just my imagination?

You have a few more horsies than I do right now. Let me build up my Boss 302, then we can talk.

You know, I see the resemblance of the two cars as well, I though it was my being biased towards Fords, but guess not.

Are we racing both cars stock? 'cause if so I'm afraid to say I think the 'stang would get eatin. The GTR just has to much going for it, AWD, great responce time, pretty even acceleration through the gears. I'd say that modded the Stang gets beat too. They are just two different classes of cars

SkylineUSA · 02-22-2002, 05:13 AM

$4$ the stang will kill a skyline. 1/4 mile and road course.

Stock for stock you can not compare since there is huge price difference.

Put it this way, a slighly modified GTR will run you $50,000 and you have a car that can handle right around .95 on the skid pad and run the 1/4 mile in low 12 to high 11's.

That same amount in my car, I will have a car that can run over a G on the skid pad, and the 1/4s in the 9's.

Actually, Fifty Thousand US will buy you a brand new R34, Suspension, boost controller, intakes, exhaust, turbos, injectors, and a new fuel pump (and you'll be putting some 600HP to the deck) and 1.05-1.07g's on the pad.

If you said 38 g's....I might go for it.....
but the GTR is still the nicer car

Exactialy, and think what you could do for 50k US on an R32! I'm sorry but on a road course the 'Stang gets murdered. There is a reason that the R32 swept the races in NZ when it was introduced there, and that was agianst other race cars. I find it very difficult to beleave that a Mustang could compair with a GTR on a road course. They are two different breeds of car, ask Razorgtst. He has ridden in an R34 V-spec II owned by canman (I think) of SDU, they were taking corners pushing over 1g lateral on street tires. The suspension, ATTESSA, HICAS and a superb powerplant is just to much of a winning combination! Let me dig up some figures and I'll post them in a second.

SkylineUSA · 02-22-2002, 02:14 PM

Thats why they have mustangs in the 6's and skylines in the 7's.

$50k will not get you a R34 here in the states. I was refering to what you can buy in the states, since that is where we were making that comparison, but if you just want to take numbers from anywhere, ya your right.

Oh, where can I get that R34 at

SkylineUSA · 02-22-2002, 02:23 PM

I will stick what I said though, $4$ a Mustang will kill a GTR if you compare them in the states.

$50k in a Mustang I would be pushing 900hp and hold well over 1g on the pad, advantage Mustang.

With that being said, I can't wait to sale my Mustang to buy a GTR

Rich J · 02-22-2002, 02:59 PM

Sorry being from the UK mustang ain't that common, could someone post the BHP figures and 0-60 and 1/4 mile times so I can see the difference, also anyone got a pic of the said Mustang?

Must admit if its the one I'm thining of that came out a few years ago then it is very nice!

SkylineUSA · 02-22-2002, 05:19 PM

Rich look at my sig, I think my 0-60 is right around 4.6, 1/4 in 11.89. My car is not stock by any means, but its also very slow compared to some of the Stangs that run around my small town.

I have a total of 10,000 pounds into my car. I will be shipping it to England in a month, so if you want a ride let me know. If you want to see some pics go www.stangnet.com or www.corral.net there are a lot there.

SkylineUSA · 02-22-2002, 05:21 PM

Oh, I am running right around 400-415 to the rear wheels. with 8lbs of boost

Gonthrax · 02-23-2002, 02:51 AM

Ok, perhaps there is somthing horrid I am overlooking about the stangs. Please explain to me how a Cobra is going to outhandle and outperform a GTR on a road course?

I'm not trying to be smart ass either

I just don't know as much about 'stangs as I do about GTRs

*Edit*
Oh yea, here are some drag records from Japan. Note these are all done with the same RB26DETT engine, no engine swaps or the like.

On Drag Slicks.

R33 7.614@181.98 mph

On Street Tyres:

R32 8.747@167mph

High Speed Record.

R33 383.8 km/h
