Skyline or Corvette?


Recommended Posts

have you ever Raced a Suped up All wheel Drive Car? I have with my stang, I raced a Subaru WRX STI modded to the max, the guy revved it up to about 8000rpm and just dumped the clutch no wheel spin no smoking the tires JUST GONE and I mean he was gone, now Imagine a car that was similuar but with alot more power, and somewhere on the net is a vid of one with over 600hp  yea they cost alot money  but the lingenfelter vette is well over a 100k  and would lose if hp was equal, Id bet my pay check on it, its lighter, its all wheel drive and has the same hp bye bye vette. even in a striaght up drag race.

now Im as american as guy could be,  but I would take that R34 over the lingenfelter vette any day of the week and 2x on sundays, just becuase you like things based on what you see in movies, doesnt mean I do, Im a Racing Freak, a car freak, a HP freak I knew about this car before that dumb ass movie and  Gran Trismo.

yeah i dunno im a burn out guy myself i love to do burnouts an all wheel drive IMO is not as fun as a rwd

lol i fell in love with the skyline from gran turismo 1 on my psone got a red one with 1000+hp and man that car was faster than any other car i had cept it could barely turn... but then again this is gran turismo one so im sure it wasnt as realistic

forum i got this from

http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=78866

2002 Chevrolet Corvette (Lingenfelter  427 twin turbo) 1.97 9.24

this is the older version of the one posted previously they cost about 80k now so for 80k can you get a skyline that does 0-60 in 1.97 seconds?

edit: here is a motortrend video of this so called 9.24 quarter corvette

Not sure where all this crazy skyline pricing is coming from.  (Taken off of Nissans Website) The new Skyline retails from 2,793,000 yen (MRSP) to 3,801,000 yen nationwide.  Converting that to dollars thats only $23,843-$32,448.  I would prefer the skyline, the interior looks way more comfortable than the corvette.

Edit: My bad, the new GTR is actually supposed to be about $65,000, pretty close to the vette.
