Bizzarro this things still here! I'd hold out a bit mate, you'll get what it's worth... Heck I'd probably have bought it if I'd found it earlier...

Obviously written by someone who knows less than me about the insides of an engine. You can boost the shit out of an RB26 on stock internals. Try the same with an LS2 and the forces on the crankshaft will destroy it and/or everything connected to it. Oh right, modify the internals - in that case do the same with the RB26. RB26 doesn't have potential - what a fkn crock. Of course it's a lot lighter too, surely. See any LS2s taking road-speed records? Anyway, let him win his paper-racing records. Probably owns a Honda. End of pointless rant. :Pimp2:

Personally, I'd want to race them. Oh, and sAfrican American at first too

Maybe the guy is that awesome (god-like?), more likely IMO those guys kinda sucked or were too afraid to push their expensive cars... But a Hyundai Elantra? Come on... If someone knows how to push a GT-R races one of those... forget it... That's plain and simple physics...

Yeh I was joking, I saw the Supra bit and they are great cars... Dude, if you seriously can't drive too good be damn careful! If I had a car like that when I started driving, well I'd be dead. I was just dumb as a young driver...

Now THAT's a cool sig monk dude You mean on foot?

Since you're singling me out, which has in fact pissed me off, allow me to retort: "At least you will know what and who you are flaming about" I didn't flame you, if I did it was in jest (did I miss a wink or a smiley)? I was plain and simply giving shit to the Holden HSV - flaming it, yeah. But I know what I'm flaming, right? As has been said, way better than a ford, but that's no mean achievement. I drive a (new, low end) falcon MKII. It has ~500 kms, of which I've done 489. Why am I giving the HSV shit? It's very overpriced for it's performance and technology. Need more power? BIGGER CYLINDERS! It's been done to death. Horrid fuel consumption. My RB26 chews nothing anywhere near a 6L V8. Holden build quality is poor. Countless horror stories from new owners that have come from everywhere, even ACA I think. Also, I cannot wait to race one. From the lights, public road, I don't give a shit. You may or may not realise (since you've researched me) a lot of my friends are V8 heads, and don't like "rice burners". I can even eat rice. It sure don't go near my car. Anyway; your purpose has been fulfilled - checking if your mate's car will be faster. I think I'd have named the thread after what I was looking for, but that's just me. If you car is a manual and his is an auto R33 with minimal mods, you have a very good chance I reckon. In fact if I were driving the HSV, I'd bet money on myself. Because it's auto. Anyway peace; I was overboard, but I stand by my points, and dislike what I sensed to be a personal attack.

Yup, women eh? Luckily I have a good deal with mine - I get car stuff, within reason - and she get's a holiday to Europe (me too!) and a big diamond at some point... All about trading Then, I think I'm lucky in that respect... :elaugh:

That is impressive. Though - some citation? I've googled around, and found them in the 11s with INTERNAL mods, by tuning shops. Seems those tuning shops are missing something... Where you get that from? Using a rough qtr calculator: 260rwkw + 50kw drivetrain loss = 310 kw = 425hp. 1600kg = 3524lb Put that in a rough (yes, estimate) qtr calc and you get 12.5. Big difference with that and an 11.7... That come from memory perhaps Robo's? Your memory like mine? EDIT: I'll go a step further and say that's BS. A 220rwkw Silvia (1200kg ish) runs high 11s or 12s. 400kg diff, and only 40 more rwkw - and they're faster? They'd would HAVE to be lightened...

Look, I was a bit pissed, and kinda fishing... But hang on fer a minute here. Was I really that flaming??? (?) I've had a quick read through my posts and I answered other peoples posts, point for point, then asked some questions back. I HAD had quite a few drinks (check the time on the posts) and was thinking today that I'd probably been an right arse... But have I really? I was harsher than my sober "me" but really that bad? I wasn't attacking any human at all. I was attacking HSVs, in a thread in a forum comparing HSVs and Skylines. WTF is wrong with that exactly? :confused: No I don' think my car is invincible. Did I say that? Where? I don't think I'm invincible, or even an excellent driver. On the street, yeah, I reckon I'm pretty good. But I've grown out of that and don't do it anymore - it is stupid - and I am going to the track. Hopefully to race with cars of many different kinds. At first I'll be nervous and trailing someone! My old Silvia would give my GT-R a good run after the 60ft... until it's modded of course, and until the Silvia runs out of gears. But straight line is boooring, IMO Forum: A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas... It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it, in the same way you're all enititled to be Jesus with your preaching that I'm childish, that you're so grown up, and sit here quoting your long long Shumacher-equivalent ( ) racing history to validate your comments on - my opinion. (?) PPL making judgements on me - :talk2hand You don't know me, whether I can drive or not. So why judge? And Vuster I didn't say YOU were an old man, I said "old men down the pub" - I was referring to the way guys grow up with their V8s, and into their late 30s still believe they are the best performers. Sure, in a TVR Griffith. One of these a HSV is not. Anyway, hope you enjoy your car. I'd have boosted the S15 personally And I did read most of the thread after my first post. You might've known that by the way I was quoting from it... :chairshot

Yeh go Takumi Big heavy cars stomp it on the straights and don't let you overtake them? What do you think, cos you *could've* cornered harder than them they just gonna pull over and let you pass? lol

Many many Silvias with not-so-harsh mods make 220kw ATW... in a 1200kg car... curb..

Umm, auto faster than manual... WTF? Yeh.... you're spot on. Nah, not much respect, or we'd buy V8s would we not? Depends what sort of race huh? Corners? to 300km/h? What? Ok a regualr RWD skyline will need some... mild mods. But you're talking HSV. So compare with NISMO Skyline Japanese are light years ahead in car tech. Period. I'm awaiting some :flamer: I love a good argument, BTW...

Nah... good day... and funny debate - someone posting about his Holden "SPECIAL" vehicle on a Skyline forum expecting not to be flamed? Come on you're fishing... Surely... If you're not arguing performance, let me know and I'll just stop paying attention. I figured that was what this is about. If I'm wrong, forgive me

Look at a dyno graph. Power figures aren't everything. NA = quarterpipe Turbo = mountain BTW the next GT-R at last time I read is 350kw factory. With the GT-R drivetrain. Argue practical, only argument you got. Hey, they are just commonwhores with bodykits from the outside.
