ORIGINAL: ThunderbirdJunkie and the skyline is nothing special over here in the states, aside from the kids that have seen TFATF one too many times. no quicker in the quarter or the curves than a 96-98 Mustang Cobra, and a whole helluvalot uglier ??? Acutally it is. 1.9 mph, .29 sec. faster in the 1/4 mile 3 mph faster top speed Full second faster to 60 mph 16 mph faster in the slalom Not to diss the cobra, but it's not as fast. BTW what year is your T-Bird? and what motor is in there? I've got a 90 Cougar it's got the 3.8 right now, but I'm looking at either supercharging it, or swapping in a 5.0. my T-bird is an '88, 5.0L, I've got a 332" shortblock waiting on me to quit blowin money on RC stuff so I can get some heads and an intake... the Skyline gets to 60 in 4.5 seconds? and the Skyline does 82 in the slalom? (mind you i'm going off of numbers i read in MT like a decade ago) and 3 mph higher top speed is no biggie to me, fastest i've gone is 160...and that was with me in the passenger seat of my buddy's 347 ci 95 GT, and i was leaving a nice little pinch place in the seat (and the car wasn't done accelerating) at any rate...the Skyline is still not much of anything special MHO. BTW, what's an R33 or an R34 run in the 1/4? what about trap speed/60' time?
