You could build a 1000hp Skyline for under $100k not including purchasing the car.

So a 1000hp Skyline and big house to store it in, and change, or a Veyron?

Skyline please.

Oh, and the Veyron us fugly.

thats not the point of the arguement here bro...

im sure that who ever buys veyrons would already have many fkn houses lol....

What's the "point" got to do with it? Did you read your post above mine? That's not the point either....

They Veyron is cool, but if it was my wallet being pillaged I'd go the Skyline everyday of the week, regardless of how many houses I owned.

i'd like to see someone make a 1000hp skyline that will pass being put through a full EPA inspection, has warranty and full interior, etc.

it's all well and good to build a 1000hp race car, but it wouldn't have the reliability of the veyron, nor the warranty, nor the comfort, everyday driveability, etc of the veyron. also it sure as hell wouldn't do over 400kmh because the aerodynamics of a skyline would stop it well below that.

i'd choose the veyron everyday of the week because it is a piece of motoring history, and also at the end of the day, 1 is a super luxury high performance car that is extremely rare, the other is just a worked common sports car.

my point is i think very fkn valid.

u have 1 STANDARD car

and 1 fully modified skyline....

1 makes 1000hp from the factory and as mentioned retains warranty and all the comforts of an exotic car

the other a car that has got 4 times the power it car out with from factory...

i think that is a veriable that needs to be taken into account. (which is y i said go mod for mod on the veyron and see what happens lol)

bullshit. reliability, warranty? Like anyone would ever drive one enough to consciously think 'shit this car is so reliable'..(especially after dropping 1 million euros for it)... and choosing a car because it can do 400km/h.. real decisive factor in the purchase there champ. You have to ring up VW and ask for them to provide you with tyres and a racetrack so you can tug your cock while the speedo says 400 anyhow. When those tyres have to be made by blind bulgarian slaves and replaced every 50km, and you have to stop for fuel every 5 minutes, enjoy your livable, reliable, street legal (zomg!!1!) supercar. pfft.

i suppose it's about what one would expect from the guy who would prefer a VN commodore to an R35 GTR.

lol at you sir

Aren't you saying you'd prefer a Skyline to a Bugatti? Way to call the kettle black, pot.

I think he's saying he'd rather pay for a 1000hp track machine than a Veyron, and enjoy the cash.

I'd agree. I think the Veyron is the pinnacle of waste of money, and isn't even very good at anything other than what it was designed to do (i.e, have a 400kmh top speed).

What good is 400kmh top speed being road legal, when there is no road to legally do it on. (sans germany). And even then, I'd imagine there are far more entertaining cars to get to ~300 on a street.. I wonder if anyone has hit 400kmh on the autobahn anyway, to validate the "but its street legal!1111" argument.

One thing we're forgetting is that owning a 1000hp GTR is actually within reach of mere mortals, whereas owning a Veyron is basically impossible, even if you're rich enough (they are limited numbers after all).

While I would love to own a Veyron, realistically, I'm more likely to own a 1000hp GTR. I can live with that :-)

Cool vid btw.

Who BUILDS a 1000HP race car to RACE actually cares warranty, comfort or everyday drive-ability??? :)

Given enough cash, you can probably make a Hyundai Excel beat a Veryorn in a short drag race too...

I wonder how

will stack up against that GT-R & Veryon in their little short drag race.

difference being that 1 car is massively worked, has no form of factory warranty and wouldn't even come close to passing an emissions test or be close to being road worthy and the other is exactly how it left the factory.

would also be interesting to see the top speed difference. i'm guessing that above 350kmh the r34 would struggle and the veyron would very quickly pass it.

another diffrence would be 1 car is worth 2million dollies and the other 250k....... big diff if you ask me.....

never really like the veyron tbh. sure it goes fast on the straights, but doesnt it get owned all day every day by virtually any other sports car around any sort of circuit? and was it beaten with an ugly stick or what??

whenever i see some rich celeb with one on tv all it says to me is "i cant drive for shit but i'm all about the wank factor".

anyone share this view?

im pretty sure a bugatti veyron grand sport is the fastest car around the top gear race track but any ways and the normal version is 8th spot.... must handle terribly yeah

ok my bad, not sure where i heard all that then. just looked it up, thats an impressive time for a behemoth like that.

Enzo FXX is the fastest at top gear track by a good margin.

yeah, but thats not a road legal car, and it was running slicks. while we're at it why dont we just flood the board with le mans and F1 cars?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
