If you think the punters here are blinkered go talk up oz cars on ozhonda or skylinesaustralia lolyeah they actually haveI dont think one person yet has said ones better than the otherthey both have there ups and downsI guess these ford fans are saying the T has more ups than downs and I cant help but agree!

gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 4m 24d Posted 19/05/09 10:17 PM Share Posted 19/05/09 10:17 PM stock FG F6 ran a 12.59 in perth.stock R35 GTR ran a 11.79 (hit speed limiter 3/4 track) in perth...2000 R34 GTR - avg price $60k2008 FG F6 - avg price $63k ?Its pretty harsh to compare an 8 year old car and a brand new car that are worth the same. The appeal (for me at least) of turbo 6 is that you can go pretty fast on a limited budget with a newish car, if you buy a GTR chances are you are going to pay as much or more in the purchase as a T or F6 and then when the T/F6 is buying mods you're still doing maintenance because these cars have had a hard time generally speaking as well as normal wear and tear from age.GTRs are great cars but not for the feint hearted or those with shallow pockets. I looked at a bunch of jap cars before I decided on a T but there isnt much around that would be less than 5 years old and do an 11 second quarter mile with a few mods and still be all up under 35k. If money wasn't an issue I wouldnt mind a worked r32 gtr (or a worked evo) as a weekender/track car but I dont have that sort of coin lying around.

I was at a track day at Sandown with one of these things when my car was stock and I have a video of it flying past me on the main straight while I was at WOT haha. The owner said it pulled 455awkw.

No doubt. Comparisons of 150k coupes and 70k sedans are irrelevant........comparisons of 8 year old coupes and brand new sedans from a value perspective are also irrelevant. The potential of a GT-R with deep pockets is higher than an XR6T from an all round performance stand point, as one would bloody well expect.......once is built is a high performance supercar killer, the other a sports sedan with humble taxi roots! bang for buck drag racing then the XR6T is king. balls out circuit work its no contest for a properly sorted GT-R. But then again the thread is about Skylines....the majority of which are not GT-Rs........I wouldnt take any Skyline GTST or whatever over my F6.
