Ferrari F40 > Nissan. Period.

As much as I enjoy shooting down your ignorant/stupid views on things, to go far in the automotive world, you need to open your eyes to bigger and better things.

Round a track, it would obliterate most cars, a Mclaren F1 being one of them.
would rather have a Lotus Exige personally, would show up that elise quite well

the beauty of the Elise/Exige is the fact that it cost 43 or 54 thousand respectively, and for an extra 7k you can buy and install the Force Fed turbo kit giving you around 270 hp on a sub 1-ton car. now when you do a little math that's 50 or 61 thousand and now you're crushing vehicles costing upwards of twice that ammount. Oh, and Force Fed is working on an engine swap for the Elise/Exige to crank 400 hp out of it, while only adding around 100lbs.

but for the ultimate in weight/power in a semi affordable car, i direct your attention to wcmultralite.com

1200 lbs, 240 hp. factory turbo option for 360 hp. all for around 37,000

wrote:hmm i was thinkinh the same thing Celica and Ferrari in the same list. That list needs a TVR Speed 12 in it

and while we're at it why not add a Chrysler ME 4-12 and a Smart ForTwo?

As much as I dislike getting flamed by an arogant loudmouth person such as you. Back off. and what I said about Ferrari's was absolutely true. It aint the car's fault its the stuck up driver. Z-Tune Skyline < F40.

Kinds funny how I stumble upon old flame posts by Grez's brother, must be a ton of them.

Actually, the S2 only ran 13.4 too. The S1 was slightly quicker at around 13.1 secs. The Sport Exige was considerably quicker though.

I see youre back to your usual self despite the PMs you sent me? :roll:
what I said about Ferrari's was absolutely true
Funny, I know 3 Ferrari owners personally, one with a 355 Berlinetta, another a 360 Stradale, and another with a 575. All of them track race their cars, and bought them b/c of the cars performance. Youre experience with one poser doesnt account for all Ferrari drivers. Thats like saying all Honda drivers are posers, when a guy on a forum I frequent drives a twin turbo 10sec Civic coupe.
Z-Tune Skyline < F40
Skyline:
0-60: 3.6 secs
0-100: 8.41 secs
1320: 12.1 @ 120mph

F40:
0-60: 3.3secs
0-100: 7.2secs
1320: 11.3 @ 127mph

Getting owned by a car thats over 20 years older, and completely stock? Priceless.
upon old flame posts
Note the word ''old'', showing how irrelevant you bringing it back up is. Then note the actual post itself:
to go far in the automotive world, you need to open your eyes to bigger and better things
Thats advice, not flaming.

Please, grow up.

No that was a post because of earlier i guess you didnt see the part when i said there must be a ton of old flames at me. So relax. Flame all you want doesn't change the fact that there is no problem.

It was an old flame post so it doesn't matter anymore. Btw I looked up the F40's hp. 478hp F40 vs 500hp Z-Tune Skyline AWD.

This is bloody stupid, half the cars are crap (Celica, Impreza, Lancer, Viper)
And none of them are in the same bloody class, you cant really compare.
You'd have to be retarted not to say Ferrari, even if you didnt want it, just sell it and buy a house.

And Koenig-Specials do a 700BHP turbo and chip upgrade for the F40. Very, Very fast.

Right, now, how much does the Z-Tune weigh? Now compare it to the Ferrari.

Oh, and RWD > AWD, in all racing applications. Including Rally.

Old topic it was already said all Rally cars have AWD. 2646 F40 vs 3525 Z-tune. So they are about equal performance wise. The F40 is also 14 years old. AWD is better than RWD in rally because they also drive in bad weather. Lets not forget the Skyline uses its rear wheels only until traction loss THEN the front wheels kick in.

The Z-tune's 4WD probably doen't work anyway. Apparently it has one of the most advanced 4WD systems around, and they fail all the time. Half the Skylines around are running on the rear wheels, I've heard.
Still, F40 would waste a Skyline round a track. Particularly the 700BHP Le-Mans F40

No offense but thats not exactly a great arguement. That's like saying the afterburners on the SR-71 never worked. I'll have to look up those RWD JGTC Skylines. Ok the Calsonic Skyline has 878hp.

You've got a point, I'm not a specialist on Japanise cars.
Practically nothing on the SR71 worked anyway...well at least when it was on the ground. They built the thing so it expanded a foot in the air, so if you landed one with fuel in the wing tanks it would leak it all over the runway.
Point taken. The Le Mans F-40 was only produced for about 3 months, I think they made 20 or so.

VS Motor's E34 M5 Turbo has 1129RWhp :D

I am having an extremely hard time finding a site with the 2002 Calsonic Skyline on it, the only thing that came up was gran turismo game facts and since the designers get the specs on real cars to the exact....assuming it was correct.

It was probably a one-off testbed or something.
I never doubted you in the first place, why would I?
That M5 takes some beating. Apparently, on Drag tyres it will do 0-60 in under 2 seconds.
