Skyline Vs Mustang - Page 2

SkylineUSA · 02-23-2002, 07:35 AM

Gonthrax,

I am talking about 302s, not some 600cubic inch big block.

Real Cobras are set up for Road Racing, so they can more than keep up with GT-Rs in the corners.

Tell you guys what, when I get to England I will race some Skylines and post the results. Then after I smoke'm, I sale the Stang and buy a Skyline

Skyline USA when u come over to England there is a very famous drag strip (Famous to Europe) called Santa Pod, so for a legal burn on a 1/4 mile strip can be had for less than $20.

Sure there will be someone who will take up the challenge, very impressive the SVT Mustang, remember reading about it when it 1st came out, very nice looking car and not a slow beast like most us ppl think of when we think of the so called yank tanks over here, no offence.

Thanks for the info I'll be sure 2 take u up on your offer of a ride in it!

Yank Tank, that's funny.My car weighs a little over 3000lbs, so it weighs a little less than the R32.

I will cange out my suspension when I start road racing over there. Right now its set up 1/4s. After I install some Koni Yellows in he back with some decent springs I should be OK against the Beast from the East.

Wow, I guess I'm in 'stang denial

I never knew the SVTs were THAT bad

The aftermarket for Mustangs are awesome to say th least. Thats why I will always say $4$ you can not beat a Stang.

It's time for something new, that is why I want GTR.

R33 · 02-24-2002, 05:54 PM

Hey Sky, after you show the Brits how the rear end of your 'stang look like, would you bring it over here and try doing the same to me?

SkylineUSA · 02-24-2002, 06:15 PM

Once I get my Boss 302 tuned up, you got it.

With an YS trim, TFS, and a 331 stroker I should be pushing close to 700 at the wheels. Should be pretty fun.

SkylineUSA · 02-24-2002, 06:17 PM

Some of those Brits have their GTR tuned up nicely. Let me see how that goes first.

Gonthrax · 02-24-2002, 06:34 PM

SkylineUSA, do you have any pics of your car around? I'd love to see it.

SkylineUSA · 02-24-2002, 06:39 PM

I am finishing up some body work right now. My hood flew up on me in the 1/4 and I had to fix the hood along with the cowl. I should be done this week. When its done I will post some pics.

that must have been exciting

The old Pucker factor kicked in.

It kinda sucks going over 110 and not seeing a damn thing in front of you, thank god its in a straight line. I just installed hood locks, so that will not happen again.

:hehehe: Hood locks probly a good idea

I've been doing some reading about SVTs and I'm impressed! My only experience with Mustangs has been with GTs and those damn 3.8 liters. The performance curve goes way up after that

I wish I had a GTR , I'd like to race ya, I think it would be a good race

You'd probly smoke me seeing as I've never driven a GTR and you've had mucho experience with your stang though

Rich J · 02-25-2002, 01:26 PM

Just remeber theres a lot more GTR's here than there are Mustangs so lots of ppl know how to mod them!

Nah but from what I gather its a job and a half to get a Skyline into the US with regards to emissions etc, not as strict in the UK so lots come in from Japan + they have sold the slyline in the UK since late 97. So u would expect a bit more bias!

Ne ways look forward to seeing ya Mustang over here mate as I'm sure it will be a crowd puller! Saw a 99 camaro the other day, was red and didn't really look that good if I be honest, i little like the early 90's version on the 200sx, u know the one? Ne good?

SkylineUSA · 02-25-2002, 03:55 PM

200sx are ugly, I think you are refering to our 240sx. Very nice car.

As you guys know how to modify the Skyline, I have had only 20 years modifing Mustangs,

I think I know what to do, to get the edge. Its all in the tuning.

I am not fond of Camaros.

Gotta go do somebody work.
