Video: Civic Si vs Skyline GT-R

[Valhalla1]

<< It's a Twin Turbo inline 6, you might not like it, but you can't snivel at that I've heard rumors that the R35 GTR will have a V8 (someone said a Turbo V8 ) >>



V8? good, maybe it will sound better.

just because its fast doesn't mean it sounds good.





<< Vallaha -

Show me an fbody that can quarter in <9.105. The fastest Camaro I have read about online did it in something like 9.89 which is a long shot from 9.1 >>



there are NHRA pro stock Camaros and Firebirds running 5's and 6's and sh!t... plus I dont think a Skyline GTR could be bought and imported for $22k MSRP.

you're comparing a highly modified version of the elitest of all Japanese sports cars, to a low cost American muscle car..

2001 BMW M5


<< Acceleration 0-60 mph Seconds 4.8 >>



2001 BMW M3


<< The result of all this is a staggering 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds.* >>




Nuff' Said

 

[CJM]

there are no streetable 9s f-body's, at least that i know of. Not only that, but that skyline dialed in an 8.7 before running the 9.1 on that run if you look at the board.

2000 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

0-60 in 2.7 seconds
topspeed 230mph

They (the Inline 6's) sound very nice stock, racy - yet not as subtle as a V8 at cruising RPMs. I found a few vids of Supra's and NSXs being dynoed, I think your opinion will be reduced if you saw a few of these. You probably don't think they even compare to a V8 (matter of fact, I KNOW!) but they can sound very nice in their own respect

Concept

 

[urbantechie]

I thought so!

 

[Valhalla1]

its a &quot;Concept&quot; car, but those numbers are not conceptual.. the ZL1 exists, those numbers are real.

Camaro ZL1

btw its the second fastest 0-60 car in the world.. some million dollar exotic has it beat by .1 seconds

 

[Valhalla1]

but I wont let this thread become a domestic vs. import again.


I'll bow out while I'm &quot;ahead&quot;

and let you importers discuss the Civic and Skyline

 

[urbantechie]

<< .. some million dollar exotic has it beat by .1 seconds >>



Would that be a European car?

you need real player, get it @ www.real.com

 

[MustangSVT]

what the F?! 2.7 secs what?!? damn i would like to see that...

now now we are all talking about skyline, but we must talk about how the civic driver must have felt like.. lets have a moment of silence...

 

[TuffGuy]

urbantechie - they also cost 2x and 3x as much as the skyline. and they have bigger engines. fo that much money they BETTER go fast.

Valhalla1 - c'mon man, play fair...

tkim - you need realplayer.

 

[urbantechie]

<< - they also cost 2x and 3x as much as the skyline. and they have bigger engines. fo that much money they BETTER go fast. >>



How much is a skyline in USD?

BMW M5: 70K
BMW M3: 40K

 

[Valhalla1]

<< Would that be a European car? >>



here it is..

*shrug* whatever..


but guess who has #1 top speed car in the world?

Mclaren f1? hardly..

Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette.. fastest in the world babeee...

 

[geno]

Isn't there some kind of big waiting list for the M3's or M5's? As in - you have to wait like 2-3 years to get one. I've heard that from a few sources, one of which was in thre process of ordering theirs.

 

[Valhalla1]

there is a huge dealer markup and waiting list for M5's.. but you can find used ones around, here and there for a pretty penny

 

[TuffGuy]

without inport fees? $25k-$30k tops i'd guess. btw, the m3 costs $45k bone-ass stock, $50kwith options.

 

[urbantechie]

Ha, import costs, pfft..GO EUROPE!

 

[GrimReefer]

Just drop a million bones on a McClaren and start racing against motorcycles.

<< Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette.. fastest in the world babeee... >>


Augh, I hate Supercars sometimes, their stats can be so off sometimes! Even though this doesn't change anything, the top speed of the McLaren is closer to 249/250MPH. That's not even for the LM edition (which has almost 65 more horses than the standard F1). But there's no denying that the sledgehammer is a beast, I'd kill to have a TT V8 in any car (Or a TT V10 in the Viper's case )

 

[IBhacknU]

it's all about $$$

FCK that skyline got an AWESOME launch!!

Noticed the guy taping sounds like he's cumming, hah hah hah
