Mitsubish Gto Vs Gtr

[DaGr81]

i wanna know

stocker GTO twin turbo 4wd v6 3l... vs stocker r33 GTR twin turbo 2.6l straight 6

who wins drag? circuit? any comments

i know the 1990 gto has much better tech with active aero and active suspension (apparently the suspension lowers it self and the front lip comes down AS ive been told by someone who is selling his car)

go go go answer my q's

I belive all thing that are good about a GTO is what also makes them such a pain to mod stock for stock GTOs arnt slow and do 100kph in 1st but still think a GTR would win all. GTO has more wiring then is good for it i wanted one before i brought my GTR but very lttle info about mods out there.

[DaGr81]

haha yeah no info at all ive looked every where... cant even find some timeslips or anything

GTR wins drag, circuit, etc etc etc.

GTO is significantly heavier than a GTR. The later versions got better but still not worth it in the long run.

Agree with GorGasm 100%

I hear they have a glass transfer case that costs you a kidney when it breaks also

Not only that, the gearbox is not the strongest either - you'll find many GTO/Dodge Stealth owners have had the gearboxes reconditioned/rebuilt.

GTOs look nice but they are heavy, don't handle too well and expensive to maintain - basically Mitsubishi's version of the 300ZX

you're going to get a bias opinion on a skyline forum... but here is my opinion, might be biased since i've never owned a GTO..

They look nice - one of the guys in sau vic has one, looks hot, and goes well, very responsive, being 3L.... but i belive they are heavy compared to a GTR, handling isn't quite GTR class, and they cost a lot to make go fast, mainly because not many people have put the R&D into them here compared to GTRs....

There was a RX7 vs GTO thing in HPI with 1/4 mile times and the o-100kph.

EDIT: HPI 29 GTO 0-100kph 5.0 seconds and 1/4 mile in 13.28s.

gtos look wider than the gtrs on the street - they look good, but i reckon they go crap when compared to gtrs. They are too heavy - but can be modded to do some fast times. Interior looks way too daunting for my liking..

I own both cars, i think the GTR is a true race car out of the GTO but GTO does have lot more torque compared with the GTR.

But as as daily i would perfer a GTO because the ride is much nicer and comfortable than the GTR but if it was race track i would choose the GTR.

being a gtr owner id say gtr,but hey ive never been in a gto... not a big fan of the look of gto either.i think thats what makes me say gtr...

The only down side with the GTR is to many P-platers own them. Especially ones that public education has failed.
