Bruised vagina as always. Vagisil anybody? There's NO WAY a Vette can lose...especially to a non-domestic car. I could quote all the stupid **** you have said in this thread but honestly, it's not worth it in the long run.

Skyline 1
Vette 0

Next race.

I wasn't comparing it to an LSx. The LSx beats it IMO, but some of that has to do with our lack of RB26 support.

The 26 can turn 9k rpm's in stock trim (and 11k plus with some modifiecation), and has supported over 1800 hp on the stock bottom. They have great powerbands also. In stock trim the R34 usually do closer to 380 bhp. They were underrated, much like we are used to here.

Again, I wouldn't say they are better than the LSx, but completely different as far as advantages/disadvantages.

That would be like me owning an Aveo and declaring that the Skyline was a pos.

I know alot about the Skylines, even contacted Motorex and went and looked at a modified R32. Also rode in a HKS Blackbird and a R34 V Spec. Impressive cars but even the Japanese and Europeans comment on how cold and clinical they are. But if I hear another myth about a Skyline making 1,000 reliable hp for 200k miles on stock turbos I swear I will punch someone in the face!
Yes, but all this happens with all cars, not just the skyline.

You know, my very same 240sx that is getting the GTO motor used the have an R33 RB26 w/ a single GT35r. And thats the exact reason why its now getting an LSx.

It'll be nice to be able to go to advance auto again

Yeah, nice DSM! A long time ago (mid 90's) I had one that ran close to your times completely shock the crap outa me when he pulled past me on the highway. I was on a TL1000, and thought he was long behind me when I realized he was passing me. It was the car the opened my mind to a whole lot more.

So "once again" huh?
The only thing that is repeating here are you insignificant comments and "knowledge" about a car you have probably never seen or rode in.

And if you haven't noticed yet, no one really gives a **** what you have to say.
All the guys here are content with american muscle and nothing "The DESTROYER!!" has to say is going to alter anything.
If you want to swing on the Skylines nuts, youre in the

Thanks!!!

I swear, Redbeauty, what cars has the R34 GTR race cars raced against?

What cars has the racing C5-R's raced against?

You're honestly going to say the R34 GTR has more racing heritage than the C5?

You do know the R34 GTR, and UNBELIEVABLE CAR NO DOUBT, has never raced a non-Japanese car in world-class competition racing trim.

You do know the racing Corvettes have raced Porsches, Vipers, exotics, etc... Using the production block and wheelbase, in racing trim, right?

I want you to PROVE, not just spew your position, as to how the GTR is a faster race car modded than the C6-R since you guys want to talk modded vs. modded like true ricers.

Or, we could approach this more like enthusiasts and talk stock vs. stock and discuss two badass cars, GTR vs. Corvette... The Corvette being the faster one currently, the GTR faster previously. Once you talk mods, it doesn't matter... I could mod a beetle to destroy both cars!!!

Ummm... Let's forget the LS1... LQ9 fine WTF cares??? WHATEVER, all manufacturers have blocks that can take tons of hp modded, NONE ARE SPECIAL... Why is a 2k hp RB more special than a 2k hp LQ9...

BTW, yeah it sucks that the LS1 is aluminim for peak hp above 1500 rwhp... BUT THAT'S WHY IT KICKS *** IN ROAD RACING (weighs less than many 3.0L inline sixes/V6's)... It's not all about the drags. You do know many Japanese cars swap to LS1's and perform better in road racing, right?

When you add it all up, the CURRENT Vette dominates EVERYTHING out of Japan (production) stock vs. stock...

You wanna keep talking, "Well, if you up the boost on the stock turbo to... BLAH BLAH BLAH"

You wanna talk mods? That's lame... I can mod a neon to destroy a Z06 at Laguna Seca, you guys wanna discuss this here?

I don't think the GT-R is "just an engine." Sorry.

The old R32 GT-R is faster than alot of AWESOME cars.

The fact that the new C6 and Viper are faster than the old GT-R's says alot about how awesome our Vette and Viper are in the twisties. It doesn't TAKE AWAY from the GT-R, it adds to them that they're even close... All these cars are badass.

And they're not all "supercars" either.
i see the point you are trying to make but it doesnt impress me that much when you have a subaru wrx 2 seconds slower and then the 350z 4 seconds slower. i know modded skylines can be insane but if they are barely beating these cars then its not that impressive

To be fair, I think EVERY car on that is damned impressive to me.

You must be in Japan then. Because I can am pretty sure that 1 out 500 girls knows what a skyline is. Their first remark about the car would be "Is that an Older Nissan Maxima"??

let those guys who never driven cars with that much torque.

Than put the faster cars in the back so they can't pass the slower cars. Listen to the porsche 911 turbo guy, he even said that.

I'd be interested to see each of those cars run their best times on that track solo. Let the guy driving the 911 turbo drive the corvette, he seems to be pushing that car.
