Rx7 Destroys 600hp Gtr

[ferni]

Ferni,come to a renew/saunsw track day at wakefield park to see some bloody quick rx's. Maybe the GTR driver needs some leasons,,,what did he say "these speeds are scary".

Neil.

Yeah i wish there were some fast ones down here. I like the Series 6's - doesn't everyone. Just haven't seen them perform like i've heard they can. I know of a few people with them, all to scared to track them.

The MCR R34 had too much power for the touge stage, The RE RX7 is a fully striped out thing with a basically standard motor.

The MCR R34 will totally decimate it around a circuit

Not true mate.

The RE amemiya FD has run a 58 or 59 seconds around tsukuba, with stock turbo's... not far off the MCR car.

Not far off around Tsukuba is good enough because heaps of different cars are separated by poof tenths of a second but on more free flowing track i think itll be very far ahead

nice clip, didnt know RX7s were known for theyre cornering, learn something new every day

I agree to a point, but I think we have different opinions on what defines 'decimate'.

I think it would be a close run thing. And I'd imagine the GT-R would be quicker on the more flowing tracks, it's where the power makes the difference, but not miles ahead.

I personally think the RX-7 is a better handling car, but to each their own.

the problem is if a GTR beats a FD, no one would give a shit coz it is a GTR....

but when the GTR gets beaten, the footages are everywhere on the internet.

based on these videos, to say FDs are better than GTRs is not fair.

There is something wrong with that R34, it handles like a WRX...

For it to understeer like that it must have had crap tyres or not enough neg camber...

Either way something's not right....

[R34NRG]

i believe its fair to say on a course like that....its very unfair for the gtr. that whole course had tight turns and hardly no straight full accelleration points.

i believe a r34 gtr will destory any type of rx7 on the perfect circuit, with tight turns long turns long straights and short ones aswell.

the rx7s biggest weapon is its handling.......on a course like the one touge

[shoebox]

This course has another advantage for the fd3s: it is a downhill race.

Very quick for what is largely a stock car on street tyres. Cool vid too.

im prettyu sure the GTR comes out on top in the end. in the series i mean. anyway.

just a bit more skyline 1 on 1. check out the S15 power.

thanks

So a general R34GTR Vs "any" RX7 - Okay...... SP RX7.

So a perfect circuit, tight corners, short straights, long striaghts, and long turns..... "The RX7's biggest weapon is its handling"......... The GTR would be far superior than the RX7 in hard launching, thats it mate. After that. the difference is driver error for cars equally modified.

The FD RX7 won 12 hour races x3 at Bathurst in a car which included facotry A/C still fitted.... I suppose Bathurst isn't a real race track.

Please, dont just jump on the band wagon. You know jack about RX7's.

This course has another advantage for the fd3s: it is a downhill race.

There is a down hill and a uphill run ?

When it boils down too it, both cars are legends, both cars are major racing winners.

[shoebox]

No, both battles are downhill, which evens out the fd3s' power disadvantage to the godzilla. R34s are good for their power and performance, but on a course with lots of sharp cornering involved, it won't have much space to do anything.

As Andy has said, both are excellent cars with great track records with their own strengths; an fd3s will dominate on some tracks, and an r34 on others, given equally skilled drivers.

[Beer Baron]

in the 4 car battle I did notice a few things. The silvia was as hard tuned as they get. full sequential box, 520hp GT spec engine... hmm both the GTR and Supra were road cars and the FD was just a 'boost up' level of mods with a measly 380hp. to cap this off the silvia was the lighest car of the lot. if anything else had one Tsuchiya would have had to retire from racing...

[AndyMac]

Wouldn't you guys call it even and no advantage. RX7's superior handling chassis vs GTR's mechanical grip advantage using ATTESSA ?

Not on a Skyline forum where a skyline has lost...

markimak: I got that Tsukuba info from memory. I haven't seen a list of record times, just from what I've read in various magazines and on DVD's.

Posing the same question on Ausrotary actually got an unbiased reponse.....

The RX7 won hands down......

[B-Man]

Ha ha - I love this thread.

andy - we may have turned some of these Nissan biggots to Mazda performance :D

I agree

BUt Teh GT-R Can NeVAh LOse!!!!

ps I'm a rotor man deep down
