Corvette vs Skyline

[Fliquer]

In autoX, the Skyline will rape any trim of vette. However, I think the opposite is true on the dragstrip.

[TatII]

nah, the GT-R will take on a ordinary C5 at a drag.

[lloyd_nickens]

Which GT-R??

[Shaitan]

SKYLINE

[TatII]

any GT-R from 32 and up.

[Neutrino]

If an amateur is driving the skyline will win because of 4wd but with a profesional driver i think the corvette will win especially if its a Z06.

[TatII]

like i've said before, if you don't consider the drivers at bestmotoring international pro drivers, which they are, they also were former and current GT500 and F1 drivers, then i dunno. but in those videos, the corvette got smoked. it was left waaaaay behind. he was pretty much just chillen by himself on the track while every other JDM super sport was tryin to chase the Skyline the 996 turbo and the EVO 7. this proves, that the ATTESSA ETS PRO and SUPER HICAS is still good and aid the driver whether or not they are pro.

Another moment of history was captured by the R33 GT-R when it took the production car lap record at Germany's daunting and demanding Nurbürgring in October. A near-showroom spec R33 blasted around the 13-miles and 172 corners of the Nordschleif circuit in 7 minutes 59 seconds. Anyone who has ever been to the circuit will more fully understand the scale of that achievement."

...which has since been beaten by 3 Porsches and a Caterham!!

There's no evidence that a 4WD car will be quicker round a track than a RWD car, provided the track is dry, the cars have comparable power to weight ratio, equally good drivers etc... In fact its the opposite RWD cars seem to be marginally quicker.

I dont know much about corvettes so im in no great position to say who would take the race between these two cars but i was (am) under the impression that Skylines' handling is superior to that of a Corvette, so if power is equal i think it might win

if 4WD were that much better more people in professional racing would have it, or would push to have it legalized if it weren't, it adds unsprung weight and driveline loss, if the amount of throttle you can use out of a turn is that much higher then it will make you faster, but not if you scrub most of it off into the next turn because your suspension is too heavy and can't react to turn in well. I'm not saying this is the case with the skyline, JMO about AWD. the corvette has more power in both models, as well as more low RPM power, but the C5 on stock tires wont be able to use any of it, it's stock runflats are a big reason for its lack of handling, and why the Z06 is that much better (Z06 comes with lighter rims & tires, and non runflat eagle F1 GSC's)they're both fast, the corvette is lighter i believe, by a few hundred lbs in Z06 form, has a 51-52%front weight bias, anyone know what the skyline has? corvette is also lower, not saying which is better, just tossing this stuff out there . . .

[TatII]

the skyline i believe is 59/41. its more nose heavy, and yes everyone does admit that its a heavy car, but it handles and brakes more like a compact class car. i mean think about it, the R34 has a better stoping distance then a integra type R. and that car weights around 800lbs less.

[Pennzoil GT-R]

the old R33 is faster than the corvette (chevrolet will amost certainly have taken 1 round) around the nordschliefe, the biggest test of any car. the R34 is generally faster than the R33. doesnt matter what the weight of them are, or the horsepower or the tyres, the skyline beats the corvette:finger:

[Fliquer]

I take back what I said. A track race between a z06 and a r34 would be very close: the torque of the vette would help it match the 34s speed in the corners. A base C5 will beat a 33 or 32 in drag; it has more power and a better powerband.

Vette!:bandit: :smoka: :smoker2: :ylsuper

[Sanchi]

WOW a battle between my two favort cars in the entire world!!!! :jump:

[Ando_Rules]
