much, much faster

[Flowcus]

There are so many carbon fiber parts on that car though... Carbon Fiber driveshaft? Removes 9lbs of rotating mass from the driveshaft... thats gotta free up massive power to the wheels.... I dunno I can see that car running 10's

I think 500whp would put me pretty low in the elevens and I weigh 4000lbs........

[Guest]

I'd love to see what 500whp would put me at.

Actually, the new Ford GT has 550hp. That's the fastest. In america I guess. Damn germans.

the Koenigsegg CCR is made in Sweden if I'm not mistaken. I WOULD KILL to have a Koenigsegg CCR

Them saying this skyline will run tens isn't half as funny as some dude where I work telling me the dodge sr-10 pickup (might have screwed that up :p) ran 7 seconds in the 1/4 mile stock lol. Wonder if they are underating the HP on that car like they usually do?????

500 hp and a Getrag gear box? that sounds like a good recipe for 10's. You should watch the TopGear episode on the Skyline. That car is an automotive masterpiece.

I used to own/race a R34 GTR when I lived in Japan. I had 501 at the wheels and the best quater I ever ran was 11.03. Thats with mods. Not to mention the car was completly gutted, anthything that added weight was taken out, ex: Air Conditioner. I weighed in at a little under 2,000 lbs. So I don't know how he can be that fast, if it came straight from the factory????
I'm stickin with Dangler on the bullshit flag.

i dunno i was just saying that it is a hella sweet car.

I hope you are being sarcastic...

[legacy-user-33]

I don't why you guys are questioning the specs released by Nismo. I don't think Nissan would be lying to 20 customers who are putting out $170k each.

getrag is the bomb

Hmm, must just go to shit when it touches mitsubishi then....

[bluejays]

nissan said that 500hp is a very loose underestimate in an article i read about it.

[Flowcus]

I havent had any problems with my getrag transmission... and I ride it around hard. Only problem is the gearing sucks... wish I could change it but with 2-final drive gears thats not gonna happen as no one has even attempted to try it.

And 500whp at under 2000lbs I call bullshit on you. Any AWD car expecially an R34 skyline weighing under 2000lbs with 500whp and not running 10's or even 9's is bullshit. The drivetrain in the R34 is one of the best AWD set ups around...
