R34 Skyline back in production

[mrpushrod]

Driver skill isn't the only factor surely, many of the best motoring people are of a similar level from what i can tell. The R34 is much more sophisticated in terms of drivetrain (from what I gather) than the Gallardo so on a twisty track it would have an advantage I would imagine. Also the Gallardo isn't that light is it? I would love to know how much this R34 weighs in comparison.

BM folks also start on a grid with the cars fairly spread out - so the cars out back have a lot of ground to make up.

Track position, corner possession (who has and who holds the fastest/racing line) and driver skill ALWAYS count more that pure performance numbers.



Otherwise how else woudl the BM guys always beat the Ferraris and Porshces with JDM's - eyt when those same JDM's come to the rest of thre world they gfet their asses kicked in real world situaitons.. heheh

Ok BEST MOTORING!

LOL Best Motoring can give you a good idea of a car, you can tell how well it corners accelerates etc, but its no source of hard data. I watch it because its entertaining and because it can give me a good idea of a car, or reinforce what I alerady know or has been said in case of an argument.


1) Best motoring races are always set on tight tracks. The Skyline has four wheel drive traction and most of the time it grabs first place, and holds it there until the race ends. Lasly their barely ever is a a STOCK skyline in a best motoring race.

2) You should watch some of the 2004 BM vids and youll clearly see that the R34 is getting old.

3) No why the hell would you want a car that drives for you? Fuck electronics and fuck four wheel drive. Give me a proper rear wheel drive, 400 horse power, with an option to turn TC off and Ill be happy.



P.S I dont even need to name a 200 000$ that will beat this toaster. How a bout a good old Yank mobile? Like a Z06? Thats for 1/4th of that figure of 200 000$

Well - I wasn't going to mention that plastic piece of crap... some would say I was biased... ehehe

Wow that thing is insane

It's hard to have a definite answer in what cars that Skyline will beat, but summing up everyone's opinion, that car is just plain over priced.

um.... alot of cars would hand this car its own ass on a track, and don't complain that it isn't fair to compair this car to "track" car, cause this car is made for track and strip racing, plain and simple a stock skyline would loose to a stock 360cs.

I would spend the 200$ canadian on the new 430!

i have fallen in love with this Nismo devil thingy!!! i want it!!!

[mv]

yup it looks sick...On the other hand it obviously isn't a car for daily driving - look at the warranty

Yeah, i also love the Skyline R34. Awesome car!

Thx for the pix oldsnail.

[findleybeast]

I'm loving it... price is a little steep, but its still one hell of a car

[ikon2003]

Hm, and if Nissan is thinking about that really weird (ugly?) looking concept supercar for 2007 w/ maybe the twin turbo VQ V6 engine.... this might be the last really nice nissan performance car.


Highly tunable straight 6 with agressive, butch body lines.... hope this isn't the end of the good days.

wholly crap that is so sexy, but yeah its a big price to pay for a NISSAN...no offense...

[Chingachgook]

Fantastic car. I think it's one of hte funniest cars around, shame it's not availble in LHD config. But I don't mind, I'd have one RHD and I would be happy in this way
