More Power

[benny_blanco]

take the car to a circuit, and u will realise its not slow or the hills

I agree with you there,

even my slow arse pintara feels fast in the hills especially down Old Nortin Summit Rd.

... Im not much of a power fiend though, aslong as my DR30 can beat twats thinking they are top shit in their commonwhores, thats good enough for me.

seriously thou people are soooo concerened with numbers. good on yah. ive got 50000kwss! nah not really, all i know is so far the fastest cars ive ever come up agianst has nothin to do with power, but the drivers! think about that.

maybe

but i cant see a good driver in a slower car beating u in the skyline tho'

still comes down to power

Yeah but people who play the power game do it for the rush, the feeling of being sucked back into your seat. Most of them realise it won't make them much faster on the track. That and its just plain fun to have too much power.

did Craig Lowndes pass you in his 120y again?

i hate when that happens...

correct that experience means alot when conering, and braking, but in a straight line grunt allways wins....

[EnricoPalazzo]

tell me where in the hills or public road, u cold use 380rwkw and actually get that power down.

and obvioulsy i mean that the drivers play the part, but they had decent cars from the start, ie wrx skyrine etc

nah enrico's right, its mainly the driver. any chump can put his foot down, but coming to a corner its experience that counts and power that goes oooout the window. the better you can drive, the more you understand about driving techniques etc, the faster u drive, the more seconds you knock off etc.

When does power become boring? how long is a piece of string?

in terms of wanting to go faster and become a better driver, track time is an investment for some and recreation for others, or both.

[nos man]

shiet you guys take my mx6 out for a spin and you'll appreciate your cars! but i have to say it's a good fun car because it grips well! i'm still working on my driving through the hills! just this weekend that has passed i was comfortable enough to heel toe while taking a corner! and i'm also more comfortable correcting my car when it oversteers! i'm with the opinion of learning how to drive your car before you start changing it! and i still have a lot more learning to do.....

but on the other hand 380kws would certainly shrivel my balls

i agree its more the rush of being sucked back in the seat, realistically in windy stuff, theres not a lot of chance you get to put full power down. But its just the factor of having that much power on tap and the ability to just suck you into the back seat and make other cars look stupid on the straight thats awesome. True a lot of ppl with lots of power realise there not always the quickest you have to remember not all ppl build there car to be mega quick round a corner etc or on a circuit.

I live in the country, there are plenty of open roads, being 4WD its gets the power down very well.

[savage GTR]

Have to agree with sky 30 . Thats what attesa systems were designed for .

MORE POWER PLEASE.

try a rexi or an evo for ur cornering pleasures.

making a skyline to do what a rexi or an evo can do around a corner is impossible, but being a driver that can do better than both cars in a skyline/s15. takes a bit of skill.

You have to be kidding

I agree the Rex and Evo are great in corners (and perhaps better than a skyline stock for stock) but they are not that much better that a skyline with a few suspension mods and sticky tyres can not cope with. (add some brake mods and the WRX and Evo are no hopers)

The advantage of the skyine is the power you can put down exiting the corner.

[sinistaGTR]

and the fact its near impossible to break our gearboxes lol.....how commin is my wrx box is broken

[nos man]

all a gtr needs is a torque splitter!

[Rolls]

The traction system on the new EVOs is pretty amazing. Individual wheel braking and power control. It makes it a fast car to drive extremely easy. On a recent track day they were eating skylines and a 34 GTR with semi slicks. Admittedly they were very good drivers but they just looked so much more controllable on the limit.

Outright power and when they cars have a lot of money tipped into them the skyline would come out on top, however as a factory car the EVO is very well sorted.
