Yup. 2.6 liter inline 6 cylinder.

You know absolutely nothing.

Just because a car is FF or FR doesn't make it inferior to and AWD on the strip or the track. Let me remind you that the Skyline's RB26DETT is VERY heavy. This means that the car like to keep going straight when you try to turn. It is called inertia and its a bitch. The Skyline is very front heavy. Your biased opinion has blinded you from the facts.

The Skyline is no lightweight, but is an amazing car on the track. I actually downloaded a video off Kazaa that had a street race with a few diff years of Skylines, the newer RX-7, and some other cars (I'm pretty sure there was NSX and something else) but I can't remember what they were exactly. Guess what won............

Yeah, so, I have a video of two AE86 Corollas beating an GTR-34 on the track. The Skyline had to take much wider turns, why, because it is front heavy.

Skylines get so much hyp for a reason, their very competitive on the track. (in their class) I would put my money on the Skyline over the VR-4 due mainly to the weight of a VR-4. A Supra has lots of hyp to, their dyno queens, thats about I can can muster for them. I wouldn't bet a stock Supra would outperform a Skyline on the track.
And I believe in Japan there is a 280hp rating limit on street cars(im pretty sure). Thats why the Skyline is rated "280hp", even though everyone knows its more like 330.

R-34 beat by 2 corollas? Well...those corollas were modded to all hell and back. That and the R-34 wasn't trying. The track must have be a one lane wide square. R-34s are awesome on the track. There is a hp limit in japan that's 287, I think. Imagine that......the Skyline is rated at 287. Stock, the Skyline kicks a whole lot of car's asses in just about anything you can pit it against. With some mods......pfeh.....forget it.

[Kurtdg19]

I knew it was in the 280s hehe. Maybe thats why the 350z is rated 287hp. They don't break the rules.........they live on the edge of the rules lol.

[longlivetheZ]

I haven't thought about the 350Z being rated 287 because of that. Could be.....I dunno.

Sorry to have insulted the God of all cars. With a heavy front end the Skyline likes to make wide turns while the AE-86 is a lot lighter and more nimble. I don't care how much power the Skyline has. Power is nothing without control and I must say that the Skyline doesn't handle as well as you all make it out to be. I can tell from watching the video that the guy in the Skyline was trying easily out powering the Corollas in the straights but they would catch up to him on the turns and eventually got past him. I guess if there were a lot of straight aways on the track the Skyline would be better suited and the Corollas would have lost.

I just don't think that you understand what you're talking about. The Skyline was overhyped here in the states and all these people think it is the God of cars because of the RB26DETT. I personally thing the VQ is a much better engine and I'm glad they got rid of that overweight engine. That engine threw off the weight balance of the Skyline big time. You Skyline fanboys are just as bad as the Z06 fanboys. It seems that those two cars are just unbeatable. Give me a damn break.

I WANT A COROLLA!! And good point polygon, Skyliners are pretty front heavy, which really hurts your handling, unless say your drifting maybe?

[longlivetheZ]

The Skyline's S-HICAS system does a great deal to prevent understeer due to a front end biased weight distribution. I know what you are talking about...I disagree. It isn't the "God of Cars" because of the RB26DETT...it's the combination of that, the S-HICAS all wheel steering, and the ATESSA (or ATTESA or ATTESSA or however it's spelled) all wheel drive system that makes it what it is in addition to the engine's beyond extreme modification potential.

I'm not a fanboy...that's the gayest thing I've ever heard....just because I disagree with you, you call me names. I'm getting 7th grade flashbacks.

This was the icing on the cake:

The reason the RB26DETT had extreme modification potential is because of the fact that it was an overly built engine with a rock solid bottom end. I also don't care what computer systems you have working for the handling of a car, they are only there to save your life and will only slow you down if you know what you're doing. As for the four wheel drive system, while impressive, can't counter that weight. While watching different Skylines take hard turns they always seemed to have to take them wide.

I called you a fanboy because you sounded like one.

I was referring to the car. I don't see how that was immature, that is what most people make the Skyline out to be. I was more or less being satirical. Sorry you take things just a little to personal.

[OoNismoO]

i think the same way about awd, front wheel driver, that they re usually nose heavy, but whatever you say, the skyline still seems to beat almost everything out there, cause of its sophisticated awd system.

[Polygon]

By no means am I trying to say that the Skyline is a bad car. I am just saying that it isn't all that it's cracked up to be and that it does have flaws.
