"myopic orangutan" ! Some of my best friends are myopic orangutans !

Round and round we go.....over and over again !............

Hmmmm another pointless thread.

It all comes down to balls, not many people will have the balls to push a rwd skyline hard around the twisties, unless they have a decent amount of experience behind the wheel of one, but nearly anyone can drive a fwd hard around corners!

[Trust33]

Depending on the weight of the celica inc the tyres and handelling mods.I think it is feesable.thats only if there is more winding sweeping turns with little to no straights.

But a skyline with 220 rwkw,good tyres and a full whiteline kit,would,in my opinion be faster.

We are talking a 12sec skyline vs a 16sec celica.

We are talking cars that both have worthy suspension mods.

And we are talking who can actually drive the car better and who is willing to take the risk.

i will try you tube and see if i can find same or similar races.

[Trust33]

When i seen this it couldnt be excluded from the thread RH9 vs stock celica

[DECIM8]

ive got more confidence in a RWD around tight corners than a FWD .. understeer on a FWD is a killer and if you lose the rear on it and the front kiss your ride goodbye..

In a RWD you lose the end u can correct to some extent at least you have steering

r32 vs rx7 drifting/hill climb street racing.

A road like this would test the celica being up hill but it would fly arround the corner with grip pretty well.

I just read from another poster of this same video that these are "the hills" in adelaide.

Ok, Gorge Road through Adelaide Hills to Birdwood.

That's a fairly medium paced road & there's camouflaged speed cameras in that area for just that reason. We can thank our motorcyclists for that, who do ridiculous speeds...100km+ (almost triple) over the limit in some sections . But, yeah driving spiritedly through Adels twisty roads it's a confidence thing but, not the place where you want to test your limits .

And Pauly when are you going to actually make it out to one of SAU-SA's outings?

I just read from another poster of this same video that these are "the hills" in adelaide.

Doubt it & don't know of any roads with arrow shaped striped markings on one side of the road then on the other like they have in Japan. Adel hills does have similar style roads but, usually there'd be a hairpin or two thrown in.

Haha, that is a sendup, quite a funny one too... It's cause a current affairs program here in Adelaide called "Today Tonight" showed video's of drifting in Japan in a segment against spirited hills drivers and basically the police interviewed said that they are going to investigate it and catch them. buahahha! good luck.

There was also a section where the narrator said "You can even hear them laughing maniacly in the background" or something along those lines... and then they laugh and they talk japanese! hahaha... oh god TT you have gone and done it this time.

I'm suprised no ones written about this in the SA section yet, its on 3 different threads on ns.com as you would expect their level of organisation.

I remember slowly losing a s2000 up the kinglake road, in my 78 golf gti. He'd get right up my arse on the straights but he was a pussy around the corners, and i had nothing to lose (or maybe he was scared if he got any closer his car would get sucked into the vortex being created by my body roll).

I reckon we need a stig, then we need to test a tx3 V a gtr. Say two laps, so the gtr has some overlapping space.

[Cubes]

Either that or he was driving smart.. Sitting up some ones arse through a corner as they loose it can result in disaster.

[GTAAAH]

Hehe your probably right. Still, golf was most fun car i've had or driven, so i gotta talk it up a bit right

[racsov500]

comes down to how much the driver is willing to push it. if you never push your car you wont know its limits. once you know its limits (after a few heart stopping moments) you get more used to and more comfortable to flogging it hard. my car is a pretty much stock aussie r31 and ive kept up with a r32 gtst with typical mods. on the way up he said hed give me ahead start and catch up.. at the end I sat and waited for a minute or so lol. that said ive had many close calls, mainly sharp down hill corners where ive been hard on the brakes, and the boat susp and shit tyres has lost grip and started sliding into the corner..

oh yes, my real identity is Takumi.

I watched this and decided I needed to watch Initial D again, with all them Japanese songs with random lines like "Rage your dreams"

But onto the topic, in my opinion "no video, it didn't happen" unless obviously your admiting to losing... I mean, who lies about that? :laughing-smiley-014:

Personally I would like to think that the Skyline would win that senario, mainly because front wheel drive cars scare me like nothing else, especially large ones like a V6 Magna... (3L V6 power in a 1400+ kg front wheel drive vehicle... good one Mitsu...). That being said... nothing quite understeers like a R31 Skyline Wagon with boat spec suspension and barely legal tyres going around round-a-bouts

[Yawn]

IMHO this was a waste of a thread

[Greylock]

this is depending on the road conditions as well as the mental condition of both drivers..if both drivers are equally skilled then it goes down to their cars..

yeah right, talking about an unfair race. the tx3 would own the gtr any time..........

[Topaz]

I used to own an N/A KF TX3 and I can say they go like the clappers.

I don't know why I ever sold it for a TT26.....

[gts-4 dreamer]

You drive a car with an RB20DET willingly, and think that you're somehow superior to a Celica. You need a lot more than a new outlook on life.

pure fugnb gold scathing... I found a sig'y!

[123456]

Chillax on the rb20 ragging.. most of the cars they come in are about 300 kilo's lighter than yours..
