hehehe this is such a hot topic at the moment...
Guys here is wat i think, firstly u cannot compare a 16 year old car to a 2007 race spec V8SC. i mean thats plain old ridiculous. The r32 GTR back in 1991 pumped out a massive 625HP which is a fair bit of grunt for a car back then. I mean if you were to compare a track R34GTR with similar restrictions to a V8 supercar and say make it rear wheel drive then this wud be fair grounds to go on. I mean the only way to compare 2 cars like this is to implement the same restrictions on both cars. Theres no point comparing a motorbike to a car true?? well the GTR was turbo'd, 4WD this alone already seperates the 2 types of cars.
Its true the current V8's have big $$$ spent on them, and in my opinion they are pretty crap for that kind of money. But to be honest wen restrictions are in place and control tyres, suspension, engine specs are in place, then u can only do so much to a car to improve times. I mean if u were to throw the old 32gtr back on the mountain, with the exact trim it had back in the 90's then i can pretty much assure u that skaife and richards will run at least 1-2 seconds quicker then they did back then. The main reason wud be the surface on the track and pure driver experience. Not to mention fuel quality etc...
