skyline vs commodore = who would win?

[**JaR**]

A P plater cant drive a turbo these days...

only in nsw, in good old vic. we can, if it weren't for the fact my car is off the road at the moment then i'd be driving around in it still.... by the way, its an auto turbo R33, and it beats standard ( well what look/sound like ) standard commys, and my cars only got a pod and exhaust, hardly a huge power booster, oh yeah.... and a turbo

Move to Queensland and enjoy a turbo on ya Ps

says he lives in brissy dude.

[liner32]

im in queensland

[33SOM]

DOH.

Were did you get the idea you cant have a turbo? I had a 2 when I was on my Ps.

[PSI_GTSII]

Warren you need to relax

I only 'ever' type something if I am confident in what i am saying, the problem with all these kind of threads is people like yourself (and ARKON) compare modified Skylines with Standard competitors making any comparison totally irrelevant, liner32 in his first post said the R33 has an exhaust otherwise stock...why then assume its modified and say it'll beat a V6 or V8 VT Commodore..?

Arkon from your sig I can see your car is hardly standard, hence i'm sure it would beat a TJ Magna, my 'standard' Magna ran a 15.8, a 'standard' R33 GTsT would be no quicker

are 300zx's any good?

Only in NSW.......

A non-turbo skyline isn't that fast, it's a 2.5L N/A in a heavy body, a celica would eat it, let alone a Holden.....

Misprint?

[IOWNU]

15.8? Do you even know what a standard GTST runs?

[**JaR**]

i challenge you to find a "standar" R33 gts-t anyways.... one that has not been modified to any extent at all, that is completely and exactly the way it came from the factory...... i doubt u'd be able to do it.

[**JaR**]

n/a yes, turbo.... expect problems if you start messin around and moddin it, mate of mine has one, one thing you do wrong and it'll cost you.

They are good untill you run into trouble with them, then you will find yourself paying an arm and a leg to get the Ba5tard repaired. Labour on that car is a B1tch.

As for the question, Sorry guys, but a relatively std VT should beat a relatively stock GTS....especially if the VT is a V8 (SS or something like that). No biased opinion here either, i cant stand comonwhores but whats fair is fair.

Liner32, i would probs go a n/a Supra myself....and to answer your question, i used to own a EF XR8 ...... it chopped my sisters VT Aclaim, however, my mates N/A supra chopped my XR8.

According to him, it was some TRD special, but i think thats bullshit, looked stock with an exhaust if you as me.

Good luck in your search

It's coz working in the 300 engine bay is a mission.....far too congested.

[liner32]

thanks alot mates

when you say a n/a supra which year model do you mean?

[**JaR**]

It's coz working in the 300 engine bay is a mission.....far too congested.

too right, its like a freakin jungle that if your not to careful you can get lost in.

as for the comment about a vt beating a gts, i totally agree, lets face it, skylines arent all unbeatable, theres lots of stuff out there that could flog the cars we drive, but sif any of us want to admit it, but a standard gts with nothing but exhaust is no "performance" car, if thats the case my mates lancer with an exhaust is a performance car to.....

unless your in a relatively modified enough to make 12-13 second pass gts skyzzer thats when you can brag about your car and what it would beat.

[Driver]

'98 supra wouldnt be to shabby

[DLuded]

get a 1989 r32 gtst

i think these arent ruled out. only the 1990-1993 r32s are

[bless_you]

just get the N/A and tickle it abit with some NOS...should kick his ass, plus its no turbo... just hide the gas good though

plus its cheap mod too

[JXL]

a todays commo would drill you, 1995 commonwhore against 1995 GTS prolly be more like a competitive race.

Just go and get an R32 GTR!!!!!!! dont know if you'll need to do much to it but least we are playing in the same price range. Problem solved, and even if you lose, lets see which car gets you around better on a track or tight cornering.
