V8 Calais Vs R33 Gtst

[Zoggy]

IBTL

i would say about even , it will come down to skill more than anthing. When you would say lightly modded , what are you talking about exaclty?

it all comes down to the driver, and thats what makes racing even more fun cause you can get a retarded driver in a "quick" car get its ass handed to it by someone with no mechanical sympathy in a slower car. My younger bro has a 95 gtst which is stock besides a fmic, exhaust and 14psi (no tune) and he got a 13.3 at kwinana motorplex, i dont see a stock calias doing that.

So if you can launch your car well, and hit gears hard, theres no reason why you cant get him in a straight line imo

your post makes no sence.

you say its stock, but it has modifications on it?

I really dislike these "vs" threads also...however owning similar cars, I thought I'd join in!

I had a VT exec - 6 speed 5.7L - made 213rwkw with just exhaust and LS1edit.

I now have my r33 with a few mild mods makes the same power and the 33 with lighter weight, seat of the pants feel is quicker, and also was quicker at WSID also.

However I had to mod the skyline more than the commodore.

You will find both cars have a similar power to weight ratio - so comes down to driver factor, suspension set up and tyres.

These discussions will never end though!!

As with all other "VS" threads.

Locked.

Take it to the track and find out, no-one will tell you accurately and there are too many variables.

Thanks
