Skyline Vs Mustang

Hey kid, do some more research on a subject before posting, it makes you look better.

I like all cars, not just one type. Being narrow minded only hurts you.

I listed what it takes, and yes there were Cobras in 99. I do know a little about FORDs.

11s N/A Cobra, Yes

But it is not a stock Cobra, right? In '99 Cobra wasn't available through dealers, I know that much, I was thinking of buying one.

[SkylineUSA]

Completely stock, no.

Small bolt ons, yes.

I have never looked at buying a cobra, so as far as I know you could buy them from a dealer. I do not get into the 4.6s, ask the guys at stangnet they could tell you.

That's what I thought. With small bolt-ons your R32 will get to 10's.

Sami,

We are talking semantics here. You can manipulate anything when it comes to comparing cars to each other. I was just stating a fact that you can put a N/A Cobra in the 11's with small bolt ons.

What is the fastest US based Skyline running now. Seans? 10.5x something. That car is not small bolt ons, its a highly tuned car, with a 150 direct port shot and 2530 turbo upgrade, so your looking at 600hp for the 10s. If I have 600hp in my stang, I would be a lot faster than that. Skylines are not ment to run the 1/4, you can look at the rear suspension and figure that one out fairly easy.

Stang #1 for the 1/4 mile, flat out. Between the two.

Of course, just that the "small bolt-ons" is quite a vague term. My car is a small bolt-ons car, turbos, cams, 600hp+.

As the GT-R is a high 12's car stock, it really doesn't take that much to get into 11's (11.99s is in 11's). Getting from 11's to 10's is a totally different story.

GTR is not a high 12 in stock form, more like mid 13. I am talking stock. With slight mods it can get to mid-low 12s. With moderate mods in the 11s. Highly modded 10s. 9s, very hard to get to.

Stang in the 9s, oh yes all the time

This is really pointless. Just say it sami, a GTR is not a Mustang, and a Mustang is not a GTR Your biased, not say that is bad, but I am not.

GT-R is a high 12s car in bone stock form, as tested by magazines.

I've already said that many times.

Where did that come from? I'm not biased, I respect Stangs for what they are. As for the GT-R, remember the famous quote by a famous man, "It's not bragging if you can back it up."

You guys can argue it all day, I never seen a stock GT-R or Cobra run in a 12, but that doenst mean it hasnt happened. In fact, I've read in an actual GT-R web site that it was running a 13'4. It doesnt mean shit though.

Lets not forget the factory boost being at only 5.8psi (GT-R) compared to the stangs 8psi. Match boost levels and yah might have to reconsider.

Food for thought.

With the stock .7 bar, stock exhaust, and stock air box, it ran 12s. I really do not see it. If I put my car on low boost, with a modded ECU, HKS air filter, and no cat 3 1/2 exhaust. That car will not see a 12 at all, and that's with those mods I have listed.

The magazine article is tainted.

Your still biased

Tony, Tony, Tony. You are missing one mod, it is the fairly large brick between the wheel and the seat. You need to replace that with one that is more efficient, then you'll get somewhere. Now I better insert something here... :silly2:

You surely mean the R&T article where they got 13.7s.

Oh, come on now, *you're* in England for gods sake!

"You surely mean the R&T article where they got 13.7s."

I never heard of that article.


Sami,

You had me rollin.

Ok, your slighly biased

Is your car done? Tuned and spittin flames out the tail pipe. Mine does, but with a lot less HP of course. Its cool at night.

Man some kids never learn. One thing that I wanted to add was that the SN-93 mustang (87-93) LX 5.0 with the 3.08 gear option and a stick could run 13.8-14.0 all day with a good driver. Hell, the 93 Cobra could easily run 14.0 (once again with a good driver and not a magazine editor). And lets not forget that the 93 Mustang LX 5.0 could be bought new for under $14 grand and had almost 20 years of aftermarket support when the SN-95 (94-up) came out. Now, before anyone gets to bashing me, I love the GTR and would surely sell an organ if it meant the chance to own one. But, the performance bargain rests with the Stang, and it can be made into a serious road car despite it's aged platform. Hey T, got any sound clips for the masses? Nothin like the sound and smell of horsepower in the morning!
