Save the Nissans and other garbage for kids that want to put big exhausts, carbon fiber hoods that don't match and big *** spoilers and pretend their 125 horsepower is fast.

To be fair though the Acura NSX is nice.

You have no idea really do ya?

I have 200Kw at the rear wheels at only 13psi with my Skyline, which is 268HP at the rear wheels.

Here's a dyno sheet

My car also only weighs 1350kg, as opposed to your 2000kg chevy's...

It's easy to see who's pretending they're fast...

...that's over 300HP at the flywheel.

I'm not going to turn this into a message board mine is bigger than yours thing, I'll just say I'll take my Z28 over any import, no matter how fast or furious some people may think they are.

wilch · #35 07-11-2005, 02:34 AM

fast and the furious was a stupid movie.
You seem to like bringing it up. Seen it a few times have ya?

**elcid** · #36 07-11-2005, 02:37 AM

Look man, if your car is great, good for you, clearly I'm talking about the fools that spend $$$$ trying to make a civic fast or look like a toy, enjoy your skyline, and 268 at the rearwheel, and is 1 fast and furious remark really all that many?

wilch · #37 07-11-2005, 02:42 AM

Sorry dude, all I heard was a derogatory comment against imports, and I took it personally. I'm just a little on edge here at work at the moment. I'm surprised I didn't start saying stuff about v8's etc. But hey, I guess I like v8's...

It's cool man, I was getting a little worked up too, I should've been more clear, a nice car is a nice car, but where I live theres alot of the BS imports with the big spoilers, mismatched hoods, and uber-g ay, pimp my ride paint jobs and loud pointless exhaust. It just bums me out.

In defense of the V8, is there a more bad-assed sound than a wide open 350?

How about the sound of your 2.6L turbo charged/intercooled chrysler conquest engine flying by crappy ford gt's. Much cooler hearing this motor cause it sounds like a v8 and everyone thinks it is, but it isnt. Then listen to your turbo spool up and the sound of the people with v8s going oh sh** when they get schooled. A V8 is nothing these days.

Wow that leaves you with the rest of the red necks who nothing about cars in america. Have fun trying to corner in that car as a skyline does circles around you.

Audi
A4 - 1.8T Avant- owned one (2002 but sold already), loved it. The 2005 ones are even nicer.
S4 - hopefully they still make one when I can finally afford one someday.
RS4 - Wishful thinking - but at least I can dream about it, can't I?
Lamborghini Gallardo - more wishful thinking...

I too dig the Nissan's. I drive a 1995 S14 200SX (Silvia in Japan, 240SX in US). 2 ltr turbocharged goodness!

Mine's fairly stock at the moment, only 140kW at the rear wheels, but still a fun ride.

Ultimate car, R34 Skyline GT-R in bayside blue.

And Wilch, I think i've mentioned it to you before, sweet ride!
