atten: ford drivers
why do all XR8 drivers insist on draging me when they know they will get beaten no sorry thrashed!!! have they no idea that RWD V8 is no match for a 4WD twin turbo six.

Maybe YOUR "rwd v8" is no match for them, but those cars sound quick.

V8? I thought all skylines had an RB26DETT in them, an Inline 6 engine? Maybe thats just an R34 but who knows

Yea, I don't know of any v8 skylines

I'm 99.9% positive that all the older Skylines had I6's...

wait a minute... I just noticed the wording of his post... he wasn't saying he's got a RWD V8, he's say that a RWD V8 is no match for an I6, ok, my bad...

4wd gives good traction, but you loose power, as your putting all your power to 4 wheels, instead of two.
Your inline 6 TT is nice, but there will always be something more powerfull who can come around and beat you.

You ever seen a Tricked out RB26DETT, those little inlines can get over 1000HP

Don't beleive me?

now... what happens if you lighten the car? your talking sub 8s or sub 7s if you do it right

[TerminalVelocity]

I have a friend with a street legal 1150 hp 68 Chevelle, RWD

[R34GTRVspec2]

and... how much does that car weight? too much? thought so

sure I love V8s, mostly the 289, but I wouldn't challenge a tricked out Skyline for money, I don't care how many HP i have, unless its over 1500

[Moppie]

You have to feel sorry for XR8 drivers really.

Even my little SiR walks on them, so I hate to think of the gap a GTR must open up! :silly2: :silly2:

:smoka:

[TerminalVelocity]

his chevelle weighs 2900

body is mostly fiberglass, whats left of it, no interior basically.

there is always something faster, there will be some skyline faster than his chevelle, there will be a faster nova, then there will be some faster rx-7, then a faster mustang...etc...etc

the point being, he said -no v8 rwd can match is inline 6 awd-

so what are you arguing?

I think your just reading way way to much into his comment.

lol, probally, but I was having fun with it too

There's a road legal four pot 2 litre donk with one hairdryer that has put away the Skyline GTR, Ferraris, Porsches and a couple of rally specials (Evo 6 1/2 Tommi Makkinen Special and WRX STi).

A road legal Toyota 3SGTTE powered Fraser Clubman ran 0-100-0 km/h (or 0-62-0 mph) in 6.6 seconds - 0-100 in 3.7 seconds 100-0 in 2.9 seconds in a comparison run by NZ Autocar Magazine in 2000 using Correvit timing equipment.

Something like 400hp and a 700kg (about 1550lbs) car equals serious power to weight and 3.7 seconds to 100 clicks is ZZR-1100 territory. Oh yeah, it's rear wheel drive and runs on 15 inch treaded tyres too... It's quicker on slicks...

By the way, the GTR was the second quickest road legal car in the 0-100-0 test with an overall time in the 7 second bracket.

That car rocked!!!!!!!
And I mean rocked! :ylsuper

Unforunatly the light weight and instant power when it got on boost made it a bit of handle full to drive, and the 3sgte has been dropped for an old V6 from a ford Crapi. Less hp, but its almost as quick, and since theres no Turbo lag, then sudden boost, its a lot faster around corners!

However, there is a Video of it with the 3sgte that they show at most of the car shows, or you can see it at the Frazer Factory (which is an awsome place) which shows it being given full throttle mid corner on a long fast sweeper. The back end just lights up, and the car does one very VERY fast 180.
