[evil_weevil]

at the drags anyway.

and these threads normally get locked too

[R34NRG]

i dont even think the r34 stands a chance...those things are torque monsters!!!

[eMsta]

maybe a gtr rather than the gtt or gtst

[Nathan_G1]

why bother..........at the end of the day fords are a P.O.S!!!!!!!!!

[dangerman4]

300kw skyline FTW every time....

hey Nathan

mate just brough an xr6t and while probably quicker, it doesnt feel as violent when shifting through gears (and comming on boost). so it had quiet a smooth power delivery compared to my line. only having around 170rwkws mine certianly feels like its going harder but im sure it aint..

The XR6T has loads of torque so would be great for towing a caravan....

[marchGTR]

from my experience>>`stock for stock they are pretty similar..comes down to driver skill.. a stock jap spec s15 will beat both (used to have one)...as for a gtr from a standing start it will smash a stock xr6t.

IIRC the XR6T has a 14.1 sec stock quarter mile time and the R33 has a 14.4.

But then you have to realize that your comparing an 18k car to a 35k car. Likewise the XR6T is newer, and should have alot better tech crammed into it and less K's on the clock. 4L vs 2.5L. Large curb weight vs medium curb weight. 4 door vs 2 door. Auto vs manual.

At the end of the day, its still a Ford and thats why it loses.

(at least in my opinion)

i saw an article in zoom a while back and a stock xr6t put out 208 rwkw... it's weight is another issue...

[Big Rizza]

I love "verses" threads...

[Lazy-Bastard]

How about Skyline Vs Festiva Trio?

[mad082]

zoom did a tech article on the xr6t. they took the centre muffler out and gained 17kw, and it was still well under the legal sound rating.

stock for stock i'd say the xr6t would beat a gts-t or gtt skyline. and if you start modding them to a point where you start changing ecu's then the xr6t will hose a gts-t/gtt. just by remapping the stock xr6t ecu they can gain up to 100hp (remember that these cars were detuned to have less power than the v8's. there were a few cars recalled because they had a 300kw tune in the ecu - which is what ford was orginally going to run them at). there is one in town tat has just had exhaust, flash tune and boosted up to about 11psi and it put down 390hp (290kw). there are also guys with reasonably stock typhoons getting high 11's. they just do airbox and exhaust mods.

i used to have a festiva. i'd have to say that for raping it round town, the festiva was much more fun. you could absolutely rape it, and not break the speed limit.

[Lazy-Bastard]

LMAO

a mates mate came from vic with his xr6t, asked to take me for a spin in it. a 33 could keep up with it till about 90km then the xr6 really starts hauling ass...

[mad082]

my sister-in-law's boyfriend has a xr6t. i was sitting at the end of the street in the rain 1 day and he came off the roundabout and up the hill. he didn't floor it but gave it a little bit of gas and the traction control kicked in for a second. that sounds cool. its like having a rev limiter kick in when the exhaust note is at its deepest. was the best sounding limiter type noise i have heard, cause it wasn't screaming, it was nice and throaty.

[Nismo_God]

well i saw one with a exhaust, ecu upgrade and boost increase an it ran a 12.8 which is pretty quick....i wish i could race a stock one to see....
