i got a buddy's car of mine who passed away about a year ago who would smoke you in a straight away curve anything. 790hp at the wheel's 98' Z28 ran a 10.1 before he passed away and that was on street tires. not to mention my other buddie's dad's old Camaro that runs low 9's to mid 8's will take most skyline's especially the 14 second one from the fast and the furious.

there was a write up about that car in superstreet awhile back. definately not a 14 sec car. no matter what you would have to do a hell of alot of wierd shit to get a car to run slower with the interior gutted and nitrous and whatnot....doesnt quite add up.

im not saying like high level and its a little different being a show car and a sponsored racer like yourself i get parts to put on the car to take to shows and to get awards and look nifty such so that people see it and say **** i want that.

grand am..........ohhhhhh k they sure are sweet... i did say daily driver and there would be no contest between an import such as mine and a z28 in a street course especially one with that much power at the wheel. i believe those are rear wheel drive and that would never make it through a turn

the skyline from 2F2F ran a 14._ 1/4 mile it was the 2 wheel drive R-34 not the R-34 J-specII or whatever something close to that is the top end skyline. also that Z28 can handle rather well for what it is, or my buddy with a WRX 2.5Rs with 900hp.

I have a ford probe.

118hp baby. you dont see me ricing, because its stupid and a waste of hard earned money

 

[bumpitup24]

some say car audio is a waste of money to? its all preferance....i bet you pick up all the dudes in your probe

wrx's are nice cars and the 2 wheel drive skyline is the worst joke nissan ever played on car enthusiasts. maybe im thinking of a different skyline then but i coulda sworn the one in super street was the one that was to be fetured in the movie and it was an all wheel drive but whatever.

all im saying is that there is a differance between a heavily modded import car with a few stickers here and there and the sticker laidened cavilier witht he giant wing underbody neons and huge muffler to ad 12 extra horses. in a forced induction car like mine you have to have an exaust with nothing smaller then 3 inch piping throughout to avoid pack pressure. but to each his own i feel that cavilier is what people call rice but a tastefully done import that make enough power to back up it 7 white stickers doesnt fit the "ricer description" and the truth of the matter is that when you compare any japanese car to any comperable american car (civic-cavalier, supra or other sixes-transams, cameros) there gonna turn out about the same give or take a tenth of a second, but fwd imports WILL handle better then rwd domestics thats a proven fact. and the american muscle will typically be faster in the straightline. Its sort of a trade off. im from the view that if you mod a jap car right it can old its own in the straight and tear up the turns. just because i dont have door handles doesnt mean my car is a cheesy piece of shit. your all out taking the energy to lift handles i just press a button.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

if i had a scanner or digital camera i would gladly post dyno sheets

How convenient. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Why not just get a camera company to sponsor you, then you get a free digital camera and another ****ing sticker to stick on your stock vehicle....

Live your e-dream, till I see a timeslip the BS flag will stay up...and I'm sure it will never come down when it comes to you and your riced out car....

Erm....

Yes, the rexxies are fine handling cars, easy to oversteer and grab hold once more. Plenty of understeer (hence the reason why I do not like 4WD cars).

Another thing... RWD skylines... be it the R32 till the R34, the rear-wheel drive are what is run by teams in JGTC. You won't find anyone with real track time go with a 4wheel drive. Only as a daily driver.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The Skyline Rear wheel drive are VERY good cars to drive. It's VERY twitchy, but can be used to your advantage as the SKyline's nose is just too heavy. Wears out the front too quick, weight transfers are sluggish. Can't be helped, the inline 6 still needs to tone down, as well as the weight.

Another thing, Adam... a rear wheel drive car will ALWAYS be quicker than a front or 4 wheel drive. Maybe you'll gain an advantage the frist 30~50 meters, but that's it. The RWD skylines are better for quarter miles. But Asia as a whole don't do much quarter mile testing anyway (Take it as diference in culture, if you will) I think that's the reason why American muscle will almost ALWAYS beat imports in straights. The R-34 GT-R V-spec II was made for handling, not for straight line acceleration. I'll always put my money on the GTT-S RWD skylines for quarer mile.

A person can have over 500HP in cars, but I seriously doubt many people will know how to control it. Heck, I think I'm competent enough to race in tracks, yet I scare myself for the first few laps whenever I drive a track tuned car with over 400HP.

P.S. A boyracer can also scare the living daylights out of me with a 70HP motor.

Good day~
