Drag racing isnt my interest, ive seen them at the circuit with nankangs, chinese coilovers, stock brakes and little power. just sh*tboxes.....a lot of them are damn old now too, a STOCK R32 GTR is hardly exciting and I would wager a FG XR6T would smoke it in a drag race AND on the circuit.......these are damn old cars now with tired engines and creaky chassis. there are some excellent Japanese cars, and then there are a lot that are just average cheap buys for the young drift types. At the end of the day there isnt a good answer to this question anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are stroking it to a 2.8L using the TOMEI stroker kit, TEIN electronical adjustable coil overs, HKS cooler and exhaust, bigger turbo and custom manifold..... In short, we are throwing alot more expensive parts at the Skyline and accepting the fact it will never have the measure on the F6. Should be a competitive track car though.

I bet my car would beat a fair few GRT's over 400m but I can also garentee there a lot that would beat me.If you want to do any type of real comparison then you would put a FG F6 next to a R35 GTR both stock standard. I think we all know the answer to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
