I've heard V10 rumors flyin around the supra...Can anyone confirm this?

[jeffroski]

Blah blah blah, Would'nt it be mute to drift in an awd car? We can make anything fast, but it is much harder to make it handle. Loved my mustangs, but they handled like they were on ice and had no brakes after one time.

V10 TT as far as I heard... but you are looking at spending $100K for this Lexus Supra... a base NA version may be avaible too.

As far as I heard the new GTR may arrive as a V36 (continuing the new V series of Skylines [Nissan Skyline V35/Infiniti G35]) but it has not been confirmed as of yet. Look also for a new base Infiniti G35/Nissan Skyline V36 around the same time of the new GTR's release... which will be world-wide and including the USA.

As for engine's... it's pretty much decided that they are using the VQ series of engines. A VQ32DETT is rumored but don't be surprised if we get a VQ30DETT, ala JGTC... the work and R&D has already been done so it would not surprise me....

1via, ive been hearing rumors that the v36 is going to be the next generation skyline, that will come out before the release of the GT-R.

Yuh... that may be a possibility...

yes some do use the turbo- albeit most use the supercharger.


anyhow- The stock g35 right now as AWD is running 14.9-7s. So that tells me this car is (with 450hp) is not going to run much more than 12.7s. by the way the rwd car is the one that is running the 14.7s just for future reference.

[nismo_power]

and why would top fuel drag cars want more low end power and sacrifice top end? retarded question if you ask me.


the g35x sedan has awd, not the coupe. and think about this, the r34 gt-r ran mid 13's bone stock. 12's wouldnt be bad.

Bwhahahaahahahaha man o man I guess thats everyones view of the viper till I realized the viper is road racing car as well.

[blight]

the lower you get the torque the better in any drag race. that is what gets you off the line. NOT HP. do not make me have his discussion.

I am not going to argue with you anymore, go masturbate in your own little corner my god.

[jcsaleen]

Blight I agree the viper is not just a drag racing car at all as some people think it is.

This isnt exactly the the skyline but an nsx-r is decent. But the points are proven that the viper is not just some meatheaded car meant for DRAG.

How do you get those figures for the GT-R? Like nismo_power said, the R34 ran mid 13s bone stock. A much lighter, more aerodynamic and much more powerful GT-R with a quicker shifting tranny(7-speed sequential, remember?) should do low 12s, if not better.

im gunna put this as simple as i can . in a drag race, you want high end power because thats where the engine is going to stay at full throttle for a quarter mile. you want HIGH END POWER, not low end. most drag cars run HUGE t6 or larger turbos so they get the most high end power as possible. hmm...drag cars dont use turbos?






need more?


and if you want to go back on your statement and say that you were talking about dragsters or funny cars, most use a combination of a blower/turbo, relying on the turbo for the real power.

any true enthusiest knows that turbos generally make more power than superchargers. superchargers are GREAT for low end, but in a drag, you arent going to spend the whole race below 5k rpms.

[alphalanos]

dude looking at those engines...that made my new years....lol....

more importantly, why are the new cars soooo expensive....not that i actually want one...

[1viadrft]

Actually the R34 GTR's in Japan ran around $54,000 if I'm correct? Maybe more...

I'm sure its already been said, but with the new SKyline supposedly heading for the US market as well, Places like MoToReX would drop the prices of there cars, and make the older ones more easier to obtain.
