Skyline Vs Mustang

[SkylineUSA]

You mentioned that you can tune a RB26DETT for over 2000hp, what you really ment to say was you can modify.

I got news for you sparky, you can do the same thing to a 302.

[Domestickillah]

SKy u should realize youre wrong and shut the fuck up. the Technology is far superior in the skyline. u should think about what youre saying before u say it. a 302 could never get close to 2000 hp. and besides even if it did your car is still ugly.

Fag.

By the way you happen to own the ugliest of mustangs. i would be embarassed to tell people that i own that car, especially people that know anything about cars.

[SkylineUSA]

I take it you did not read the whole post.

Yeah, my Stang is pretty ugly, So is my GTR.

The dark side is strong
use the force wisely tony

sorry this post was on page two but I found it very ignorant SkylineUSA

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.

The very fact you say some decent springs and Koni Yellows in the back on your stang and you should be OK against a Skyline is absurd lmfao. No way will just those two things but a Mustang up to a STOCK skyline on a track. Now lets put same pieces on Skyline as Mustang and the Skyline will ass rape the Mustang so bad on a road course you would laugh.... I read somewhere a GTR raced a Z06 and beat it around the track after a few laps by 9 seconds lololol..... There is just a lot more to suspension and handling then good springs/Struts all Im saying... There are skylines.... then there are cars we spend all our pennies on modifiying so that they can almost be like a Skyline.

[SkylineUSA]

I have coil overs, PHB, TA, and Koni yellows. I also have a GTR.

The statment you took was out of context. I was talking about it being combined with the rest of my combo.

Most of what you say is true, though. The GTR handles like a dream. But my Stang is set up damn well too. The stang can put down the power and get out of corners better than the GTR. The GTR would still win though in a road race. Both cars have their good points.

[SkylineUSA]

Is that your car? Very nice, I have always liked those.

[SR20DETpower]

oh man I wished that was mine. Its a Nissan 180sx, with a Silvia S15 front end conversion. Signal Auto owns it and its called the Signal Drifter X. I think its horsepower is in the low 400's..... it is truly a badass car and looks NICE, I've seen videos of it drifting in Hawaii and this thing is a machine let me tell you.... If I had to choose between someone giving me a stock GTR or that car, Id take the little ol 180sx.

Can your stang really put down more power out of a corner then a Skyline, with its AWD and all.... I dunno I've never driven a GTR so i can't compare just heard of its legend. From what I've seen and some of the jap guys running tests against the various cars the one guy was driving the GTR pretty damn hard and flooring it through turns with some mild oversteer comming out.. it was sticking better then the Rx7, NSX, Evo that was racing with him by far, defitely could tell the Skyline held in a turn a lot better then those other cars. Then on the other hand my brother has an Impala SS, don't get me wrong nice car and all, but I can't imagine that a v8rwd car can lay down more power then a GTR comming out of a turn. In that video he had full throttle on comming off with AWD, you give that Impala full power in the turn and you better have a wide road or your buying a new side of rims LOL. It gets sideways very easily, fun to drive it but I don't think that kinda setup can hold to a GTR.

[SkylineUSA]

Yes this Mustang can hold to road very well. Going into a corner, or while in a corner the GTR has the advantage. If you in a tight corner, and your just coming out, the Stang with its torque will get the GTR. Right now, with the Stang set up right I should have close 425hp to the ground, and gobbes of torque. The GTR should have 315hp to the ground, but the torque numbers are not there, but the handling sure is.

Yeah but your GT-R is just in its babysteps... I took mine out to Mineral Wells today, it had too much power to that track, with street tires there was no traction once I got to the pedal. Low boost settings still, propably around 450 to the wheels.

Blew that rubber intake hose on my second lap, after that it was cruising in 3rd gear. Whole track in 3rd, no gear chances, no problems with getting torque in curves...

Also got to drive Don's SCCA Spec Racer. Videos are up but be warned, upload might not be that fast and the shots are not spectacular. Rather ordinary. http://12.239.130.41:6969/videos/skyline/

[HemiGeorge]

I'm gonna say the Cobra will take her in the quarter mile no sweat. But on a windy road or a windy track my money's on the AWD.

[SkylineUSA]

Ok sami,

What tires were you using? R1's


450 to the ground. How do I get there? And how much did it cost? When I went the Dyno shoot out a few months ago, the highest GTR was only 424, and that thing was loaded with parts.

Hemi,

That 71 for your avatar, is my dream car. And back in High School we would cruise in a '69 Barracuda, those were the day. Your car is awesome, I just wish it was more for the street.

My Stang, would beat sami's GTR in the 1/4, even with his awd, and more power. Do you beleive me sami?

I'm expecting around 550 once we get it tuned, it is running rich and isn't set to higher than 1.2bar.

APEX'i AVC-R boost controller

APEX'i GT exhaust
APEX'i intakes
APEX'i PowerFC + controller

I believe you. I'm not a drag racer, never done it but with decent driver the car would propably do very low 11's, maybe even 10's. I think I could do mid 11's after a few practice runs.

[SkylineUSA]

Man, you need tires, BAD. With a good set of tires you will be unstopable.

How do you like your twin plate? I have seen most guys that will stall it, it seems to be a very touchy clutch.

I will not go to a cam that big, so I guess your GTR will always have more power up top, but I will build mine for lower power.

They have a GTR from the states that made some 1/4 runs on www.freshalloy.com have you checked them out?

It's a pain in the traffic but other than that you get used to it.

I was going to go with 256 cams first but then was recommended the 272's. Low end power is still good but it idles very rough. I had the engine die on me on few occasions when I let the rpms drop suddenly, need to fix that. Lose the engine = lose the brakes...

Yes, I know Nick. I called him that saturday night to get some alignment numbers from him and he told me the times. He was here in Dallas a few months ago. Cool guy with a lot of knowledge about GT-R, I hope he does well in One Lap next year.

BTW, I'm "samppa" in FreshAlloy.
