Blown V8's?

New Jaguar XKR-S makes 550 ponies at the crank.

Honestly what is the point if your RB25 - despite tons of work - is going to get you toasted by an exec in his flappy paddle luxo-barge on his way to work?

Yeah i bet it weighs less then a skyline and is cheaper............

Just go buy one and spend your time driving it rather than posting pointless threads

IBTL

If i'm not mistaken just doing some quick research around the net and it is looking to have a 1/4 mile of 12.5 whereas compared to stock R33 from factory ran about 14.4 which yeah I am sure a few mods will get you into the bracket with the Jag or the GTR boys will be right next to with only very few mods (32 GTR 1/4 mile time 13 seconds). Starting at $85 000USD I think the money would be better spent on a skyline which purchase cost plus the left over from the amount you spend on the Jag you would have not only a quicker but a sexier car.

New ford coyote 5.0l comes supercharged in the FG GT model. 335kw. Some tuner down south has added an intercooler, smaller pulley on the supercharger for more boost and has cranked out 500kw atw. Very cool motor, pity it comes in such a sack of a car. I'm waiting for someone to put one in a GT40 kit car or something, that would be awesome

So I hear that the Bugatti Veyron produces 1000hp from an 8 litre V16 and does over 400kph. So what is the point of having an RB25 if you are just going to get blown away by Bernie Ecclestone on his way to sleep with his super model girlfriend???

Lock the thread, we have a winner! It's officially all down hill from here.

[markdem]

at the vantage automotive training school in sydney they have one. i was in training next door and heard the thing being revved off its tits. ive never heard a more brutal, humbling sound in my life

[bozodos]

heh if forced induction was cheaper to retrofit onto V8s (and the LS9 didnt cost 27k for a complete motor) I think we'd all have them!

[Mick_o]

Isnt it a W16? Lol

Yes, Yes it is. Thank you very much for completely destroying my otherwise hilarious comment by pointing that out.

You forgot there is the upgraded version (Veryon SS) with 1200hp & top speed of 420+km/h...

EDIT: Actually screw the Veryon (& the upgraded version of it) I want a German Lepord 2 tank instead.

Yeah, a leopard 2 would totally dominate should war break out tomorrow, just another reason not to own the RB25!!!

Leopard 2 with s RB 25? I bet those original engines didn't have a tricky intake cam!!

As top gear has demonstrated with their Maurder review having an armored military vehicle as a daily driver has several benefits.

I no longer have to give a crap about soccer mum's in their 4x4s changing into my lane without looking or some douche tailgating or if you find yourself parked in by some moron who can't park straight.

More reasons not to bother with Skylines anymore...
