Christ, he did it in a month!!! WOW! I've been here almost a year and I'm only at 800 something...Anyways, I think that Bomex Supra looks silly, the front splitters' edges are just too big IMO.

I'm interested to know, what actually makes you choose the Skyline over the Supra or vise versa? Please give reasons ok?

Ghalos
Aug 28, 2004, 8:09 PM
Ok, I chose the Skyline because it's a performance beast, and god knows I'm not going to be talking about a stock one here. So just deal with that, anywho, the Skyline's other appeal to me is its history, it was first built for the Prince of Japan back in the late 50's and early 60's. After a few years of production it got into the racing scene and, abbreviated as hell, it simply dominated for about 20 years in the JGTC and some international races too. At one point the R33's won thirty-two, or twenty-two races, in a row...It was later banned because the other teams gave up and declared it "unbeatable". So as for my choice of R33 GT-R over an R34 GT-R, that's just a personal style choice. But I wouldn't pass up any of them! :P

Thank you. It's much better than just saying "GT-R rules!! Supra sucks!! :twisted: "

Man, just read back a bunch of posts, but basically don't just say,"I like the skyline" and that's it, add why you like it, the style, power, whatnots.

Yeh, the first GT-R was made in 1969 originally made by Prrince Motors, which was later taken over by Nissan.

Your head is really messed up, and I'm saying that with all honesty, so don't take that offensively. Don't just post all your thoughts here, just think about what you're gonna say and then write it down, not some one-man play!

Does that mean you're going to Japan or something? Becuase if it's not, I don't really see a prob why you cant post pics here. Or maybe your friend the 240 fella can do it for you.

AHHHH!!!! Demon CAT!!!! hehe..

Anyway on the topic of the Skyline comin' out in the early years, that pic is the proof. But in the 50's,about ten years prior to that car, there were prototypes out roaming around. The politcal climate at that time in Japan and the far east in general called for cars for royalty and governemental figures to be a little shrowded in the technical aspect. Same is still true today, the President uses, if I'm not mistaken, a Cadillac with 3 inch thick bomb-proof glass. :shock:

Aug 29, 2004, 2:01 PM
Wow but no other 3 inch thick things.

370 Hp
380 ftlbs

0-60 in 6.4
Top speed 142 mph/228 kmph

Ghalos
Aug 31, 2004, 12:33 PM
With that power it should go a bit faster than 142, unless it's limited or not particularly aerodynamic. But I can't really complain with 370 bhp and 380 pounds of twist!!

What about the the car in bruce almighty? its a saleen mundago(?) im not sure. but i know it has good HP and Torque, but only has a top speed of 150.

Aug 31, 2004, 8:59 PM
HUH!?!!!!???

Saleen S7!!! It's got 575 bhp and 570 lbs/ft of torque!!!

http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/saleen_s7.asp

220mph...

You're probably thinking of the Mosler MT900 which can go way faster than 165 mph, but it creates too much downforce above that.

too much downforce? i would think it would be not enough downforce.

Ghalos
Aug 31, 2004, 9:12 PM
Nonono...By too much downforce, I mean it's drag limited, but the car is pretty much a race car, so you can change the amount of downforce via the wing and splitter and louvres on the car. But either way the car can go above 165mph, but that seems to be a fast enough speed for anyone and it'll handle incredibly at that speed.

And how this relates to the topic?? The Skyline with the long-ass acronym steering system coupled with good aero tricks can do it likewise.

Yup the Mosler! that's the one i was thinking of...and for as it relates, it doesnt. i sometimes deviate from topics time to time

I was shocked to learn that the R33 GT-R will try to kill u. Apparently, its trick computer and 4WD stuff will detect a slide and then transfer power to the rear wheels to make u drift, which also gives the added risk of a spin.
