    And I beat all of them in my 12bhp Citroen 2CV going backwards...

    The tow cars are great but Skyline is better

    Actually no, the Skyline was faster. I found the NSX-R difficult to control over the bumps, the other cars had softer suspension and absorbed them.

    you drove em ??

    well yeah dats true the nsx r was never built for the track, as shown by the 600lb/in springs ... on the track it dominates tho, it takes the curbs fine

    there's no doubt that the skyline would be faster in most "everyday" situations due to it's power advantage and it's awd but the extra weight would really kill the tyres whereas the lightweight nsx would last longer
    dats my 2cents

    no amount of electronics and shit can make up for a 330 kilogram deficit and inferior weight distribution/location

    as for the over bumps comment, both cars have spring rates so high that neither would be "comfortable" going over a bump, the nsx-r would probably be unbearable as an everyday car ... but when you buy an nsx-r ... are you really going to use it AS an everyday car ?? ... my point exactly

    I disagree on the tyre wear, the skyline would wear the more evenly giving the car an even loss of grip at the front and rear whereas the NSX would wear the rear tyres quickly leading to more oversteer and even more tyre wear.

    the skyline with its heavier nose and awd would wear the fronts much more rapidly though....giving it more understeer etc

    Eh...I'd take the Skyline because:

    1. It would be a novelty here (which all on it's own would be enough for me)
    2. The Skyline is actually sort of close to a "Japanese Muscle car", being a fairly normal-looking car with a nasty little engine under the hood
    3. I'm not so sure I trust Mitsu's reliability (although a car as complicated as the Skyline can't be much better)
    4. I used to live close to Skyline Road, HWY 84. That makes it almost a childhood memory for me!
    An it harm none, do as ye will

    Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

    From my experience, as of yesterday, the answer is the 3000gt...

    I was at the light and the 3000gt pulled up..... I thought why not?

    We both took off slowly, didn't want to look like dick heads. The at about 40 kmph we both floored it....

    To my suprise the 3000 pulled away with ease. about 3 car lenths after 500meters, we were both in the 200kmph region by this time.

    I would say the 3000gt had some work done to it, big polished intercooler and guages.

    It would of been good if it was stock like my r34 gtr

    I will have to mod the gtr...

    More power.....
