Tsuchiya mentioned that Skyline's faster than GT500.
Wonder will the Skyline beat the V8 supercar ?

V8 challenge race one day Laughing

must be awesome Evil or Very Mad

my understanding was that once upon a time before the V8s only 3 cars dominated.. skyline, holden V8 and Ford V8. Then they changed everything to be only Australian and only the Ford and HOlden V8 were competitive. Skylines would whoop them around the track. that's why there's this red Winfield Skyline R32 around shows and that, used to be from back then.

Not sure if this is true but this is what i'm always told.

Fastest lap of bathurst for the skyline back in the day was 2:12 something race pace around 2:14, vs current V8's lapping lap fatest in 2:06 something and race pace of 2:08-2:10. Also remember the skyline was actually putting out similar power figures to the current crop of V8's until they startted to limit it and also added weight to slow it down.

I reckon with current technology and running similar weight/power it'd be a good contest my money probably on the skyline mind you the V8's are far better now than they were in the early 90's. Perkins stats sheets at Bathurst listed quarter mile at 10.5 secs that ain't hanging round.

Oh and back when the skyline were racing the top ford teams were running Cosworth Sierra RS500's(not falcons), the BMW M3 also went pretty well on the tighter tracks etc. The commodores were shit as they lacked power at the time and were well below the outputs of the Skyline and Cosworth let alone equal in handling.

Used to have an old mag with the stats for all the cars of the era, the commodores had something like 450hp vs 600hp for the Skyline.
