Getting 1800kg (some more) off the line is the key.The right combo of clutch,tyre,launch RPM and power is far harder to achieve. So IMO this comparison of skylines and XRT should be just manuals and 2WD only. Stock 32GTRs can run mid to high 11s, you would need to spend a fair bit of coin to get a GTST to run a time like that.At the moment I think a stock XRT could get me off the line as I spend all my energy just trying to keep the wheels from spinning in the first 3 gears. As for me the next round of mods will in in the suspension. At the latest Wholesale Suspension open night it was very clear that my neg camber is a little too much for the power level, would be fine for something mildly modded but now I need as much tyre on the road as possible. I will also be going to street slicks :(At the end of the day if either car is setup right it comes down to the driver.Maybe should have a skyline VS XRT day at WSID lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually are good for bout 280-300rwkw. When they have more, then you know they are srs business with full built motors etc...but even then...fully built gt-r's are a different kettle of fish all together. But they are hard to come buy, especially on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just an awesome machine but that being said...a majority of skylines on the road and I don't mean gt-rs are just very average cars that a well modded T should eat for breakfast...of course there are exceptions.

I could send my wife out to the strip in the ford to have some fun (its not that hard to select D) and whoop some pimple faced kids in their near stock skylines, trying to time his launch with a brass button clutch.....!But go to a clubman circit day, and watch the disapointmant on the bokes faces, that has just paid big bucks for his shiny new fpv or hsv getting lapped by these "OLD" 90 model imports....its halarious. this is what these cars were built for.......proper racing....a lot of the guys on here are saying that you have to spend so much money to make a skyline do a qiuck quater. well probably as much as you need to spend to make a taxi corner!pointless comparing these two cars, as both cars are terrific for totally different reasons.....
