[dan_the_man]

o. I thought stock v8 holden would beat gtr.

I was clearly wrong.

[Justa32]

if you where comparing japanese tech to aussie muscle ud b better off compairing the jgtc to the v8 super cars... and we all no the jgtc 35r would destroy the v8 supercars

[-Dukes-]

SV8 is the poverty pack v8 commodore. Stuck between the S and the SS

Also, My gts-t beat a VY clubsport. Surprised me and him, lol

Was at a track day bout 5 years ago...was a purple 33GTR , fairly well modded for the street and a Ex perkins supercar..VR...It shat all over the 33...Its a prepped race car of course it will...They wouldnt let them on the track at the same time...

Seeing as this has been dragged back up I had a look at some numbers.

V8 Super Car

620 - 650 BHP

460 ft/lbs

1355 KG

Mines R34 GTR

580 - 600 BHP

432 ft/lbs

1540 KG *

* I couldn't find a proper weight value for the Mines GTR, so I used the numbers from the N1 R34 GTR Nur VSpec II because the Mines GTR doesn't really seem to have much in the way of weight saving parts beyond some carbon fibre aero parts.

So, while I'd love for the GTR to be faster, there's really no way. Unless maybe it was pissing down with rain and they were both on the same race tyre -- even then it's a long shot.

i asked this question before i found out about the SuperGT cars, i think it would be more fair to compare the V8 supercars to them instead of tuning companies like Mines, MCR, HKS, etc.

also tsuchiya said the Mine's car has the acceleration of a GT500 class car

Fastest ever R34 lap Ive seen at Wanneroo is 66 seconds a full 10sec slower than the Taxis. The 2 Fastest WA based Skyline Racecars have both done 61s.

When R32 GTRs were racing Touring cars they were very limited Group A cars so a true comparison is hard.

[TonyStarks]

They would probably drop a imposed weight on the GTR's to make it even. Like the did last time

However you guys are talking about then and now. Recently in a wheels/motor mag, can't remember it's at home, Skaife drove the same 32R around bathurst that he drove in the 90's that now belongs to a collector. And, it was only 3 seconds slower than what the V8 supercars of TODAY manage during quallifying/shootouts. My money is on the GTR of today with the same amount of money put into it as a V8 supercar of today. Enough said.

i love the gtr but hasnt a falcodore v8 supercar have better downward torque so wouldnt it catch the gtr on any single straight?

[syfon]

Besides, I am yet to see any GTR get close to 298kph down conrod...

The R32 GTR's were getting close to 290km/h down conrod straight in 1992...

Look at it this way - the V8 supercars are the same as GTR's in Japan's current super GT series. Nothing is the same between the road going version and the race version other than the roof, and that has been proven.

A current spec V8 supercar would smash something like the road going Mine's R34 GTR.

However if you put a current spec V8 supercar up against a current spec Super GT GTR then we would have an interesting battle. Both V8's, both RWD, roughly the same HP, etc.

GTR's would chew the V8's through the corners though

^^^V8 Supercar 1355kg...

Anyone heard of FARTs, came across an article in one of the ZOOM mags

Federation Against Rotaries and Turbo's

haha apparently was a bunch some time ago that werent too happy seeing they're v8's getting mopped up by Nissan's and Mazda's

and yeh the V8 supercar would win i think, because its a dedicated race car, the Mine's R34 GTR isnt.

no doubt a fully blown race spec R34 GTR would destroy any fully blown race spec falcodore.
