There is no comparision. The Skyline is built for the track and the XR6T is built with the taxi market in mind plus to cart families around! And if people believe they have dragged of GT-Rs your dreaming. They are just too quick off the line, in a straight line, in corners and out of corners. Stock GTS-T is no problem, been there done that, but a GT-R, you got no hope unless the bloke pedalling it is a stooge or one of the turbos has fallen off!Please don't make yourselves look like fools by putting down one of the greatest cars ever built just because it is Japanese... I used to bag the Jap scene but I have driven a few modified and non modified jap cars now and respect them. Drive one before you comment on them!

Showstoppa Member 2 Member For: 19y 10m 19d Posted 08/06/05 08:15 AM Share Posted 08/06/05 08:15 AM (edited) A GTR is almost in the "supercar" class, while XR6T's are big, heavy, turbo (soon to be) taxi's. Any car can go fast in a straight line. Get an XR6T and an R34 GTR on the track together and do some laps, then tell me which car is quicker.Hahaha the XR6T slogin should be "Thanks god for warrenty".

No doubt the R34 is one of the greatest cars ever built though I prefer the R32 and that would be my pick if I ever bought one. No doubt around the twisty stuff a GTR would run away from me, but gee I reckon the ute could drift better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 08/06/05 08:35 AM Share Posted 08/06/05 08:35 AM man the two can't be compared.. is a freakin' GT-R for gods sake!! these things had to be bloody down-tuned for production..as for a modded T vs a modded GT-R, you're joking arent you? the gt-r is just a better car. and by the way, if im not mistaken, the skyline has one of the most technically advanced 4wd system on any production, so I dont think he would be struggling for traction, unless it has a million kw and the driver is some nut who dropped the clutch at 7000rpm off the line..I might add, the xr6t is my favourite car in the multiverse and I mean no offence to the lucky drivers of these cars!!
