Performance wise, I already stated the figures, and the F40 is faster.

The class B Rally cars - the fastest ones to date - were all RWD. ;)

As I stated the 800+hp Skyline kills the F40 case closed. The Blitz Skyline R348 kills the F40 as well.

Well what about an F40 that was optioned with the factory performace upgrade, which adds things like fatter cams and bigger turbos, resulting in 670hp?

I'd like to see the Skyline beat that.

So, the Skyline has less than 200 extra hp, but 400kg of extra weight.

And you think it woud beat the F40. :roll:

If you add the factory performance upgrade, the F40 comes in at under 10 seconds :wink: Not to mention that it would kill the Skyline around a racetrack.

lol any ferrari could kill a nissan on a track, stock or not :twisted:

just 4 interests sake -
F40 670hp - 10.1sec

so still just over 10 secs..now if we chuck out the extra seat and unecessary stuff like windows, we could bring that down :lol:

wtf . . . an F40 weighs 2600-2700 pounds. On your calculator that equals 9.7-9.8 seconds.

Anyway, I think that we have now CLEARLY established that F40 > 800hp Skyline.



And btw, chucking out the seat wouldn't do much, becauses it's made of carbon fibre :wink:

We clearly established that no matter what facts I present you still believe the ferrari wins even when the skyline out horsepowers it. You've made it very clear you live in fantasy land. So drop it.

RX-7 for me here... It has something I have never seen or heard in any other car.
The abillity to rev so freely, and the engine sound... It suits my tastes perfectly plus it has a reasonably good cornering performance, may not be the best anymore but still is damn good.

But I guess if you put a rotary in an Elise I would probably take that, it is the powerplant that matters the most to me.

You imbecile.

That's like saying that a 2000hp semi would beat a 1000hp sedan.

However the Shockwave jet truck does do like 300+mph. Of course it has 36,000hp. A truck that powerful would have a jet engine, the 2000hp I mean. a 2000hp truck might beat a 1000hp car. Most of those 1000hp tuners reach 200. Ford GT would murder the Ferrari F40, it murders it anyway. American power. I'm not worried about the Skyline, which do you think people are gonna like more the F40 or Skyline. Skyline obviously. Easy to lighten up the Skyline.

Yes, people often tend to opt for the cheaply made, plasticy interior of a Nissan and its inline 6 engine, compared with the Ferraris racing V8 TT engine...

LOL Grez
The skyline would cease to become a skyline if you tried to cut the weight down that much. F40s are carbon fibre. The body is lighter, the drivetrain is lighter, the engine is lighter. Unless you built and entire bespoke body and chassis, the F40 will always be lighte .
Any anyway, modding a Skyline up to 800HP would sort of mean it ceased to be a skyline...just a big bespoke engine and chassis with an improvised skyline bodykit.
You could stick a Porsche 924 shell on a VW Corrado (same chassis...or is that the 914?) but it wouldnt mean you were driving a Porsche...

My car of choise is the Lancer because i like to have "normal family car " do rallys whith it in the mountains and the wife saying" hey what the are you crazy " .
And no big fuel comsumtion like in the Subaru and it's accesibel to almost every one so this is my car of choise a Lancer because you have a family car in a beast and some times is good to have extra room in the car not like in the exotics were you have 2 sites + i'm rally style driver really crazy no max speed for me just high spead cornering and thats good for me but thes is my opinion no yours.

I also picked Skyline. Next time include the Ford GT. A car that can decimate every Ferrari except the Enzo and with a little tweaking can probably decimate the Enzo too.
