Gtr Vs Holden Gts

[predator]

im not tring to start a flame war but it really does shit me that SOME skyline people think that they r the best car for watever reason. i know skyline r badass car which can run some wicked 8/9sec 1/4mile but it isnt the only car

Yes, skylines aren't the fastest car on the road.. but considering the majority of the more expensive cars out there are stock standard (for many reasons) the skyline often comes out on top.

Don't also forget differences between the road and the strip. I have this theory, which might well be b.s. so u can call it if u want but anyway, as the commodores are a lot heavier (was it 100kg = 30rwkw?.. discussed here previously) they probably have better weight distribution so they can stick to the road a lot more. On the strip this is actually amplified as its a smoother surface and a bit of weight in certain cars can actually help.

The skylines are *very* tailhappy, and struggle for grip on a smooth surface. I've noticed this in the wet, no chance for even a light drag or else it'll go sideways. On an "average" bitumen road though, which is very textured which helps grip (at least in melb, i know streets around oz vary a lot) its not hard to get a rocket launch...and the race should be the skylines if you've got around 180rwkw.

If you do the power to weights on a skyline and GTS Monaro they are very similar - so it all comes down to how the power gets to ground. I'm still only talking stock GTS versus modified GTS-T though.

But you can call b.s. on me if you like

Well against a GTS-T i would say your right! Coz the GTS-T is only a RWD car. But compared to a Skyline GTR i have so doubts about that since its AWD!

Lingenfelter 427 Corvette

The Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo Corvette runs 8.95 @ 153 MPH! street Corvette in the 8's/

Pfft I was 0.05 seconds off. (you do know that drag radials are considered street legal?)

I'm not a "skyline person". I don't even own a skyline, I just know they are better than corvettes. This "oh we have to respect all cars" crap is exactly that - crap. In life, some things are better than others.

[AVENGE]

I own an LS-1 powered SS and a GTR so i have a fair idea about them both. I like both cars and each has its strong points, but to suggest a HSV GTS will beat a GTR is insanity at its best.

c'mon it's not totally stock.

I think this particular vehicle will beat most stock gtrs on a rolling run.

[summoner]

umm.. im not refering to Dan's GTO if thats the 1 u mean. I'm refering to Craigs VX GTS over east

ahaha not even worth replying too :bahaha: :O

Yes i would say GTS-T r about the same as Gts and GTR should blow them away but it all depends it isnt a perfect world

[summoner]

gts-t is nothing near a gts no offence mate.

all depends, it isnt a perfect world, the GTs-T would have 2 have alest a few mods. stock 4 stock the gts should win.

[summoner]

mod for mod the gts would win. *nods*

[Soulja]

*nods* too

[Ethan_R32]

Hey Summoner, back to the topic.

A lightly modded GTR can run low 12's high 11's ON STREET TYRES.

A lightly Modded HSV GTS, or SS or GTO will run a low 13???

Sorry, but they just dont compare.

lol your subtlety was well received the first time, morgs. its just tired now

[SS8_Gohan]

but u can only have a few runs against the GTS before u they have to stop and fill up for oil, and a quick engine rebuild, possible diff change as well :bahaha:

[summoner]

true Ethan, except that a lightly modded GTS/GTO will run a 12 not a 13. and in eithercase any gen3 commodore lightly touched will beat a gts-t as they were comparing after its established.

And for those who harp on about prices. the GT-R's have in each series when new been over $100,000's as well so its a moot point. Also i do love the gt-r but getting fed up with these newer board members harping on and on about import vs domestics

[SS8_Gohan]

if the standard engines die all by themselves, i wouldn't have much faith in their longevity by modding them. But, i've never owned/driven/modded one so prob be wrong. But with full engine rebuilds after 15,000km's, u gotta wonder...

[ex_zero]

hey guys, this is all turning into like one of those american threads, domnestic vs imports..... i don't want it to turn into one of these!! they go on forever!!!! i was at car and driver(?) forum, and one of these threads went on for like 10 or so pages, bash this, bash that..... my point.... leave whatever be, if someone likes the domestics, let them have their opinion of what's best..... if someone likes imports, let them have their opinion of what's best.....and i mean no disrespect to anyone, i just want the bickering arguments over which is better, to stop... plz
