Nissans fastest car?

Post by **speedsta2003** » Thu Dec 12, 2002 9:03 am

I cant believe you guys havent heard much about the lingen felter. I read the specs in car and magazine, this car is stock (because that's what it was made to put out, not modified after production). The specs were the most outstanding Ive ever seen, with 0-60 in 2.3 seconds, no bull. I wouldnt even consider comparing any other street car with this vette. No Nissan could stand up to this car without major modifications amounting way over the lingen felter's price.

L.F. vette=100k here in US $stock skyline in japan=45K US $thats 55K less, now put $55k into a skyline, and the L.F. vette would **** its pants. off the line and on the track, the skyline would own. 4WD and AWS, nothing like it.

Yes but your forgetting that this car is still a one-off and not mass produced, like the skyline. And for the price of the car, a competent tuner go crazy with a nissan, for God's sake stephan papadakis' h22a-powered civic does 0-60 in 2.7 sec, you don't think that an S13 with a sick Rb26dett buildup could pull of numbers like that? I'm pretty sure nissan could produce something that would compete with it if you just asked them real nice. If you gave a lotta guys on this board like 100k to build up a car you'd definetly be able to do get that kind of performance, factor in like lets say 20k for the S13 and Rb26dett, including the price of the swap. So if you've got like 80k in mods, let your imagination run wild.

lol... lotta replies on this post.... but he still thinks GM is better....

Post by **Jimmy** » Thu Dec 12, 2002 9:03 am

Owning cars from both manufacturers, I can certainly say the build quality of the Nissan is heads and shoulders above the GM. With that said, when is the last time Nissan who any class at LeMans? While I understand the Skyline may dominate in Japan, the Corvette has also dominated here in the U.S.. One of the only places they would meet would be LeMans. If there is another venue that the two cars will meet at such a high level, please straighten me out. However, I still think the Corvette is superior in outright speed (lap time) vs. the Skyline. If anyone has PROOF that the skyline has beaten a Corvette in some kind of recognized sanctioning body, post it.

Lookit what i found on EBAY

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6392

apparently you can find something to go head to head with that vette for under 20K (current bid 19.9K)

:ylsuper

Post by **AznRide** » Thu Dec 12, 2002 9:03 am

and do you have proof that the corvette is superior in outright speed vs the skyline?

Post by **Jimmy** » Thu Dec 12, 2002 9:03 am

Well, Lemans. ALMS, Daytona 24, Car and Driver, Road and Track... For the pro, not so pro, and stock versions of the cars. Don't get me wrong, I like the skyline a lot. But beating a Corvette?

Post by **milo** » Thu Dec 12, 2002 9:03 am

Here's my question... how do these non-AWD cars put that much power on the ground effectively? I would think 0 to 60 would take longer realistically because if you try to do it as fast as possible with that much power it would peel out a tad.

Or are those 0-60 times on a dyno

speedsta, your the gayest piece oh shat...you always double post something retarded. Its not a good sign one can read your entire post in the little preview section in profiles every time. And what the hell is your avatar?? Looks like that dike from the osbournes taking a shiat.

Some of you guys got it...some of you don't.

The Skyline GT-R is an excellent car. The Vette is also excellent. Stock vs. stock, the Vette is a MUCH better buy for performance.

Both cars can be made to levels of insane power. Both can be made to handle insanely. Both costs money to build.

These cars are very similar with both very strong blocks. Power per displacement, the Skyline dominates.

But anyway, the only reason the skyline is such an "ultimate" car in the U.S. is because of it's rareity. It's *NOT* that much better if any than a vette. They both got good and bad things about them.

Don't interpret this the wrong way. I would love to have a Skyline over a vette. But that is just personal opinion and because I like Nissan more than GM. That does NOT however mean I wouldn't trade my spec V in in a second for a C5.

Give all manufacturers respect. GM can do some insane things. So can Nissan. They are both a couple of the best performance production cars ever made, hands down.

That's probably the stupidest thing Ive read from this forum, and youll probably come back with some dumb reply again for what I just said now. And Ive met red240ne, he has no clue what he's talking about when it comes to cars, He thinks the firebirds are the best car in the world..Loser

Not that corvette C5s arnt good, but you cant drive them on the street (at least i dont think. they are race only right?)i would get the skyline because in my neighborhood corvettes are associated with rich old farts while skylines are accociated with lucky bastards. On top of that i agree with wingzero, i would get a RB26DETT powered s13 silvia before i would get a skyline because of cost and performance.

Um dude.....Corvette C5 is streetable. There's probably 20 of them on the local Chevy lot.

he might be thinking of the C5-R, the 1 million dollar corvette. thats the kinda they use at Lemans, also a non-stock version, but a highly modified one.

Well u can't compare a C5R to a stock R34. But you *can* compare it to an R390

Post by **Jimmy** » Thu Dec 12, 2002 9:03 am

I believe Chevrolet has been looking into selling customer versions of the C5R to qualified Pro Racing Teams. The price was somewhere in the $350,000 range, not 1 million. And the 390 was nowhere near the 1 million range (well above it). There can't be a comparison here, as the 390 is a prototype, and the C5R is a highly modified production car. Maybe comparing the C5R with the 300ZX that the Nissan Factory won Daytona with back in 1994 would be a fair comparison (talk about a cool car!). I saw that car at Daytona in 2000 for an HSR race, and man was it awesome.

He's talking about the Factory backed C5R's. Like the two that one the 24 hours @ Daytona last year. They cost $1M each.

And the R390 was a production car. Limited, but nevertheless, production. And I believe it sold for approx. $975k. That doesn't mean any were ever sold, but it *was* marketted.

As a side note, did anybody know that the Bugatti EB110 was sold on the American market in 1995. However, they didn't manage to sell any of them? MSRP was $350k.

I forget the name of it, but it was a W16 engine, not a V16.

On another side note, anybody seen stuff on the new Maybach? Twin turbo V-12 luxury car. MMMMmmmmm.

Look what else someone is sayn about GM......

guys listen , the stupid japs have one car to show for which is the loss in world war 2, the nissan skyline, ok yeah sure its an ok car (it should be for 1/10th of a million $) but thats it, all the while the superior americans have Corvettes, Camaros, Trans Ams, Saturns, and mustangs sometimes, but all these cars can easily hit low 14s stock, when it takes putting a turbo nitrous or a supercharger on the japs cars to get them into 14s, i mean **** a low 14 in a jap car is actually good...when the japs come out with more than just one good car come talk to me, but untill then all u imports might just wanna sell ur car and buy a GM or somthing..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Saturns?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Low 14's stock?? HAHAHAHAHA

Skylines on in the 14's? HAHAHAHAHA

I want to see how many G's a Mustang can pull around a corner, cuz you know it's gonna be more than a Skyline, Supra, 3000GT, or Z.

Geez that dude is smart.
