Skyline Vs Mustang

[Rich J]

All works in circles doesn't it, maybe u should setup a Mustang import centre? U never know us brits like a bit of flair !

[R33]

I could imagine it all. Sky in his 'Stang lining up beside me in my GTR. Oh shyte...his 'Stang looks so cool and it sounds fierce, while Sky is thinking, "omigod, look at that GTR, what an awesome car". The palm gets sweaty and both are shitting bricks. Light goes green and the clutch is released..and...nuttin' happen....both engine is dead!

[SkylineUSA]

That is funny R33. I would be the stalling, just looking in awe at your GTR.

Your car would kill mine, in the Stangs current condition. The wife just gave me permition to dump another $5000 into it when I get to England. So instead of seeing your car a mile a head of me, I could cut it down to 1/2.

[R33]

Yeah...I suppose I would leave u wayyyy behind if u launch in 5th! You know what, the ultimate test for any performance car is to let the women drive it! My wife hates the GTR...it bounces too much, says she!
It's good to hear that your credit manager has approved 5k for your car. Mine will never ever approve anything beyond the usual fuel charges!
Hmm...I can see that blower blowin' man....

[SkylineUSA]

Hey, my wife really loves GTR's, maybe if your wife likes Mustangs we could swap cars.

I know the price difference, I'll even through in a set of golf clubs, and some chop sticks.

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

I think he is talking about European 200sx which is their version of Silvia. US spec 200sx is something totally different, more of a mix with Sentra/Sunny and Primera/G20.

And all you guys drooling over a Mustang... In here you'll see them everywhere you go, they are nothing special, I have driven most of the models. Sorry SkylineUSA, Mustang doesn't come even close to a GT-R, not even the SVT Cobra.

[SkylineUSA]

No thy enemy!

Cost wise yes, Skyline cost way more. Read my posts $4$ you can not beat a stang. Hands down. If you think othere wise, you are mistaken.

You are right they are a dime a dozen, but that is why the aftermaket is so good, hence the $4$. High volume, low price. = $4$.

I never mentioned a SVT, I do my own work.

[SkylineUSA]

Oh, nice car.

Just remember I have a 1/4 of the money in my car, and I would smoke you.

I mentioned SVT because that's the closest you'll get for a decent road race car. Moneywise Mustang is a better value in the US if you're looking to get a dragster, I'll give you that. As a complete package, it doesn't come close even if you factor in the money.

I know I come off sounding like an asshole but I'm just giving my honest opinion of the two cars.

[SkylineUSA]

Naw, you make a good point. That is why I like Skylines, but I do not make that kind of money to be able to purchase one. I really do like your R32.

I am just talkin' crap with you.

They do make excellent handling kits for stangs, they just are not for drag anymore. I'll keep you guys posted when I run up on some GTR's in Europe. Since the Stang is the All-American Pony car.

The SVT makes very good cars, but I like to turn my own wrench.

[SkylineUSA]

I forgot to add, the money factor. I am almost positive I will be able to hold my own to those European GTRs, for half the cost. I will not sugar coat any of the results. If I get my ass kick, you guys will be the first to know, but I think I'll do alright.

[R33]

Go and smoke 'em Brits Sky!

I have to agree with SkylineUSA, as the aftermarket is very friendly to the RUSTANGS Don't forget that the Skylines are as popular in Japan as Mustangs are in the States, so the dime-a-dozen factor is subjective. For less than the price of a turbo and fuel system upgrade on a GT-R, you can pick up a Stang and make it run 12s, with not too much effort. I"ve seen it done many times. Of course, I'd rather have a GT-R (hopefully w'in 3 months!)so don't take anything I say the wrong way. As far as domestics, I'd rather have an LS1 Camaro, but I do have to admit the Fox-Body 5.0 'Stangs are great cars for the money. But they can NEVER match the technological prowess of a Skyline GT-R. If I lived in Japan, I'd probably want a Camaro SS since I'd already have a GT-R.

[SkylineUSA]

Well said medici78,

I work someone that has a LS1, very nice car. Pretty expensive, out the door it was in the area of $33,000. He was looking to do headers, told me it was $700 Not mention that damn damn spark plug that is a pain in the ass to get too.



Funny thing is, he wish he had my car.

[NiteskyR]

nasty

still no word on the salvage one sky
like i said its probably bull.
