Forevrbumpn Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 if they were both 1000hp, a big clunky big block 427, with 800-1000hp matched up with same hp on a half the weight v6/I6 twin turbo, and Iam sure the Skyline is a few hundred lbs lighter, but still, that Linger has a 0-60 of 1.6/1.8sec, and a top speed over 200mph.... I think the Skyline has a weight advantage, and the awd advantage, but the Lingen is just faster on the line.... Ofcourse american cars are great on oval tracks, but the Skyline would kill the vette on street race, or where the race has lots of sharp turns... But I think the topic was based more on realistic raceing, stock to stock, or moderate upgrades... And I thought a true Skyline was illegal in US? It is in Cali last I heard Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in Cali last I heard The Lingenfelter Vette or any new vette for that matter does NOT have a big block anything unless you put one in there yourself. The 427 in the Lingenfelter is a bored and stroked small block LS series motor. The only big block that GM currently makes is the 8.1 motor for the heavy duty trucks...and that's a 496. I'd still take a Vette over any import. Even if the import was somehow faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
