Re: 8.96 @ 159mph Skyline.. Liters has little to do with making that much power there are street driven skylines pushing 800 plus hp. Try having all wheel drive plus steering. Really can't compete with there technology, do we have anything that can make that much power with our stock blocks. Not saying there is but truly capable. Try going to another site www.turboimports.com/swst88supra.html
Re: 8.96 @ 159mph Skyline.. holy riceroni <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> thats a good one mexSSican.
That car is pretty bad. Skylines are impressive no matter who makes them. Atleast these cars like the supra are designed from the factory to be fuggin quick, not like your everyday rice that was a econocruiser before some kid thought it would make a good whatever they do to their cars <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: 8.96 @ 159mph Skyline.. HOLY RICARONI!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> If that car can do 8s with an engine 1/2 the size of the LS1's.... shouldnt we be running quicker? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
Re: 8.96 @ 159mph Skyline.. I wonder if he had someone waiting at the end of the track to pull his eyes out of the back of his head after that launch! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: 8.96 @ 159mph Skyline.. To mexssican: U know it has nothing to do with liters. Anybody can go that fast with all that boost. Any car with a durable running engine and like 25-30lbs of boost will do eights. That car is no engine and all turbo. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />
But nice vid anyway! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Any car that runs 8's is worthy of some respect, with or without major boost.
That car was all over the track though. He could've shaved off a little ET if he went straight.

"No engine and all turbo"!?!?!? Do you know what you're talking about? True its got a lot of boost, but the RB26DETT (skyline engine) is no slouch! That thing redlines at 11,500 rpm.
To say that skyline is impressive is an understatement! I love my f-body, but would torch it in a second to have that car!
How many F-body dynos have you seen like this one? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
