    So that isn't twice the cylinders to a Supra Or Skyline.
    Also, don't you agree that american cars pump loads of horse power. But wait, lets look at the hp/litre. American Cars are failing to get 70 bhp/litre.
    In other simpler american words

    Hp per liter is not a basis for good peformance if anything all it really means an engine is more stressed in my own words your a fool for beliving cars suck because of a system that was created to make small ci capcity engines sound more impressive.

    the whole HP/L thing against american cars is more to show the difference in effort put in between american manufacturers and others. although i see where people come from when they present it, i feel that in most cases its useless to argue it anyway. for example, some people are bound to think its stupid ford want to challenge ferrari's 360 with a supercharged 5.4L. although there seems to be a clear advantage to ford there, theres nothing wrong with the supercharged engine. thats my argument

    Supra dude, I like your outlook, and believe me, there is no bigger supra fan, from 2000 GT to JZ80 1997 model than me, but I'm not too sure about your figures.
    The r34 gtr actually produces about 320 bhp compared to the supras 326. Since the GTR was only officially sold in Japan they must claim max power at 280 powerstroke or 276 bhp.
    The skylines weight you claim is also not for the standard model. Actual (dry) standard weight is about 1540 kg.
    1/4 mile times vary depending on who runs them, but in a straight shoot out I have seen the skyline (when launched VERY aggressively...serious clutch abuse) run a 13.02, to a supras 13.45.
    Don't really know why you think a RWD is better than 4wd, that is why the GTR is actually faster than the supra (massive grip means high RPM clutch dumps).

    Having said all that, I vote the Supra! It is more comfortable, just as modifyable and more drivable in city areas, as it has almost no turbo lag. But really you should have said the 1997 model. It featured a VVT inlet system, making it marginally faster than the earlier model.

    Personally I think they are both equally over-rated.
    If I was forced to drive either I would take the skyline since it tends to snow in Canada.

    you are free to believe they are over rated, but they both perform very well for reasonable money, providing much better value than most aussie performance vehicles that we are stuck with.

    I don't doubt or deni that. They are both capable machines. They are not the be all and end all of automotive performance as many people make them seem like.

    I would take a 280 or 300Z, or corvette over either of those vehicles.
    Skyline and Supra are just the playstation generations wet dream.

    Yeah, maybe that is true in the states. It certainly isn't where I am. I can tell you though that a 300 zx is definitely not as good as either for speed or comfort. It is very heavy and claustraphobic inside too.

    Plus...the 300ZX is no where near as purdy as the 240ZX...which i would definately rather have over the Supra or Skyline!

    Wow, I missed all sort of stuff here....

    Yeah Fpv I heard of the 5000 GT. I was reading somewhere that the V10 was actually based on the v8 for the upcoming supra, but the developers wanted to go further in their spare time and it got a bit out of hand, so they showed the results to their managers and the rest is history. I heard that the 5000 GT was designed to compete with aston martin.

    As far as the new Ford GT is concerned I have also seen about half a dozen comparos with the 360 Modena. Guess what? The Ford won all of them. Road and Track (or was it Car and Driver?) was the only one to print performance times. How does 3.8 0-100 and 12.2 0-400 metres sound? Not much compares for the cash, unless you build it yourself.

    I do think hp/l is important, but only in the right place. In the Honda s2000 it is a useless statistic. But the Ferrari Enzo is a different story. Or a more real-world example, the Supra. If high hp/l is supported by large capacity or a good turbo system then it is a useful statistic. Basically, American muscle cars are good for their torque, jap cars are good for their revving power, but a happy medium is by far the best. Should a 5.7 litre engine be making 'only' 330 hp? No! It should make more. But only because it has a solid base of meaty torque that should form the platform for good airflow, higher revving power!

    Lastly, the 240 z is gorgeous! I love it! I was actually going to have that as my favourite, but it is a bit too obtainable. Even today with a good engine transplant they make a fantastic performance platform. And back in the day, 0-100 in 8 secs was pretty good too.
    That depends on what your definition of the word 'is' is - US President Bill Clinton
