If i was loaded then yes, but realistically the only exotic i would buy would be a Lambo, as i dont see the F40 ever being in my price range.

Never say never

The fact is, an R34 GTR has beaten a Bugatti Veyron over a mile. Doesnt matter, winning is winning. People laugh when an exotic gets destroyed...simply because exotic drivers have a reputation to live up to...where as Jap imports are the underdogs.

Anyway.....take this for example, a Supra absolutely leaving the lamboghini for dead...and the Supra seems much more driveable than the Lambo. It even gives the lambo a head start...then proceeds to destroy it.

Sorry but the fact is, an Adventor has nothing on a Supra like this....and lets not forget the 2jz is one of the best motors ever made.

I don't get these comparisons, they don't make sense, you are pulling out highly modified cars to race a stock standard supercar (usually driven by complete retards or people who are more interested in how they look in the car than the cars performance). I could build my armchair to be faster than your highly modified GTR and Supra. Doesn't matter what you are comparing ofcorse someone who builds a fast car is going to be faster than someone who buys a stock tuned car from the shelf.

Also where is this Veyron that lost to an R34 on a 1mile run? Closest I found was this video but the Veyron still won...

Yeah a modded ANYTHING can beat a stock Lambo... But what can beat a modded Lambo????

Logic by a couple of people in this thread... "oi did you see the look of that guy in the Lamborghini (with 600hp) when he lost to a 1600hp supra..." WTF did you think was going to happen??? lol

Kugotk - that clip with the lambos are phenominal!

I know sfa about these beasts...are they rwd and if so, how the fark do they get traction with 1500+ HP?

Even if it was awd, surely it would just break out all over the road :)

Haha, are you 12 years old or something?

Wow, a MODIFIED car beating a stock car.....good on you, well done.

Supercars are supercars. Take a lambo for eg. A lambo has good looks, good performance, good handling...but most importantly, it's a lambo.

You think a lambo driver gives a shit if your clapped out s13 with a t78 beats it....pfftt, end of the day he is driving a lambo and your driving a bucket.

If we all had the money everyone would be buying supercars and probably modifying them. Simple as that.

And while i'm at it, have you even ever driven a ferrari, or lambo, or porsche? Because you question drivabilty, yet compared to a modified supra or gtr, they are about as drivable as you can get.

There are RWD models but they arn"t very common, most (+90%) are AWD. I don"t know for sure how exactly these ones are rated at 1500hp but either way they are uber fast, fairly easy to mod and they gain power with upgrades like nothing else. SUre an RB26dett and 2JZ's are decent for modding, but when you have a stock engine producing producing around 300hp from factory (with twin turbo), the gains you get out of a stock 5.2 litre high revving V10 (Naturally aspirated) when you start modding (especially with turbos) is absolutely crazy.

Underground racing in the USA has just completed its first twin turbo Aventador, nothing too crazy just a couple of small turbos to start off with and the car has already gone from 0-100 in 2.9 seconds to 2.2seconds.

All I am saying is the potential for moddifying NA supercars is much more than the potential a 6 cylindre gets.

In regards to zour traction concerns... probably due to the fat rubber they use, they come standard with super fat tyres from the factory, put sticky tyres on and getting bogged down in a spin is a thing of the past. I tried to upload a pic of how wide rear tyres are but I have no idea how to upload pics now with this newer forum setup...

Kujotk....no way that Silver Supra was 1250hp....it was 700hp at max and/or a poorly built dyno queen

That Toxic Green Supra is a genuine 1200rwhp properly built "Cannonball" Supra which is why it looks and sounds a lot faster than that Silver one.

What are you talking about? Why do I care? And what does this have to do with modded exotics? The video said the silver supra was 1400hp not 1250, and it may not be 1400hp at the rear wheels, but it isn't that far from it, It beat the bike ffs... Either way the purpose of the video was to show a modded Gallardo smashing a Modded Supra... As I said before, a modded anything will beat a stock anything, but a modded Lamborghini is extremely hard to beat.

I don't care what anyone says and I've been in 8 sec GTR's and a 8 sec 200sx and I would pick a twin turbo Lambo any day of the week...

If I could afford it I would so twin turbo a Lambo...

There are a few now getting around in Sydney. One that sticks in my mind is a Red Gallardo that Ramspeed built a couple months ago. Not sure of the power output. I'll see if it's online yet.

Older Gallardo but still with forced induction... :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Chris' R34 GTT Series 2

      By hoodedreeper · Posted

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
