R34 Gtr Vs V8 Supercar

[R34P3R]

i was talking to people at work and i had a long discussion about this with them but they love their holdens and fords. i want to know who would win if there was a race between the v8s at bathurst and the Mines or MCR or other jap racing GTR teams?

[hoony]

i think it would be too hard to determine as you would have to compare lap times...

i doubt any V8 Supercars or the Mines or MCR cars have ever raced on the same track...

response wise, MINES GTR FTW... man that thing is a monster lol

[NA_Goodness]

The R32 GT-R was banned because the Falcadores couldnt catch it. It was proved 18 years ago that the GT-R is faster!

[WARDY32]

exactly..so there is no reason why a tuned R34 couldnt put it to em today.. bring it on i reckon!! lol

I go to bathurst most years and because of my Mums side of the family who used to race for bob jane i got to meet him and Harry firth who designed the monaro thats were i heard about a "Gt-r" if you go there everyone still talks about i think 92 or 93 the year the GTRs beat like every v8 there, Chances are a Tuned R34 vs V8 Supercar = GTR would win, one of the reasons gtr's won was because of Hicas they had awsome handling and were lightning fast.......So then they banned them because it wasnt "Fair" LOL

The Mines GTR is a road going car with road rubber. It's going to get smashed by the current spec race trim V8 supercars in a race on any circuit you like.

If you pored the same about of money, time and expertise into an R34 as they do the v8's, you'd have something that would rival most racing pasta-rockets.

^what he said. The V8 supercar is a farken long way removed from anything to do with the road version. The falcon even still races with a pushrod V8 even though the road car doesn't.

Besides, I am yet to see any GTR get close to 298kph down conrod...

are you serious?

you honestly think mines GTR is going to have better response than a track setup V8? lol

here's one we prepared earlier..

yes, you think it's funny?

do you think the MINES GTR only has one setup or something?

lol

[mitchy_]

yes i do actually... i think you will struggle to find any turbocharged car that has the response of a V8...

[hoony]

lol this was a debatable topic from the start, don't think it will change either... i'm fine with that

[mitchy_]

the topic in general is debatable, but even my twin turbo v6 with the worlds smallest turbos has nothing on a v8's response.

[Stealthed]

^^ Um i think that R34 would stand a good chance....its quick

[hoony]

a V6 TT response compared to a V8's response, yeah okay, hard to compete with...

the MINES GTR in general though, i don't think there's many cars out there at all with the V6 TT setup that come close to having response like that machine, in all the videos and time attacks i've seen that car in, the way it revs through all the gears are insane...

i'm just basing my knowledge on how i've seen the car run on the track, that is all... there's nothing wrong with your theory, but i will stand by the fact that every time i've seen that car in action and how responsive it is is insane...

tru dat

even in the short run from hell's corner to corner 2 at bathurst the v8 supertaxis are getting to 255 kph

i would like the mines gtr do that

650hp from a 5 litre pushrod v8 NA vs a 800+hp 2.6litre turbo???

v8 would absolutely eat it

now - awd in a v8 supertaxi?

thats a different story and would be a very interesting scenario

i'm not saying that its not responsive, for what it is its very responsive.. but there is always going to be lag, regardless of how small it is.

[R34P3R]

ok mines mights be a street machine but how about the red MCR machine isnt that full track setup?

that was written a year ago

even if they could beat it a few years ago, its still a long standing record

Super GT cars today better then V8 Supercars of today?

not sure, they should compare lol
