Actually.......
Nissan only uses the 276kw in all official documents because thats the power limit in Japan, on stock cars, to kerb the rising industry they have.
It's reguarly broken, but only unofficially.
Around 285kw would probably be more around the mark.

i knew about the 276 power limit, and i believe the 350 claim, but having to do all that stuff just to reach 350, and for an i6....kinda stretching isnt itOriginally Posted by IBrake4Rainbows

It's been done, Remember that the Jaguar XJ220 was an 6, and it reached 217 MPH.
350 Would be stretching it for a Street Legal car, though.

i just hate it when i say something about the skyline being a pos and people are like "but it only has ~~ and it will do ~~" insert stupid skyline facts at will, most any will fit
its like wow, big fvckin deal
i love porsche's. but i dont compare them to every single car thats brought up in conversation, i wouldnt compare a boxter to an enzo~
like i posted before, i said something about the noble m12 having Enzo numbers one day, this guy was like, 'so, a skyline can beat an enzo'
no, it cant, shut the hell up

It's those type of people which end up giving decent cars a bad name.
Like people who are blind towards one manufacturer, and will not accept another being as good/betterer (sorry, using their language)
I Like BMW's, but I know that some are ugly and some are pointless; a realist rather than a dreamer.

yes, it can. Any car can beat any car depending on the mods it uses. A r33 from exvitermini.com can destroy a stock enzo. Likewise, a stock enzo can destroy a stock skyline.
secondly, a m12 is NOT a sports car in my opinion. In bypasses the US's emission restrictions and it's safety crash restrictions, letting it shed the extra weight that the enzo has to have. Besides, the enzo beats the m12 in the 0-100 and the quarter.

Yes, but the M12 in Europe does not have to be sold as a kit car. Also, Enzo: 650k+, M12 Noble: 60k. Hmmm...... .2 seconds of 0-60 difference, but a much better handler? I'll take the Noble.
Also, no matter what you do to it, a modified golf cart built for street use will never outdo an Enzo

But not the the latest OR the M400 or
Manufcaturers often chose NOT to do the US emissions and crash test NOT because they wont' pass but because it is expensive and may require changes they'd rather not do. Do you remember all those UGLY sports cars in the 80s with the HUGHE bumpers replaceing the svelte Eureopan ones ??
The Noble chassis is a race-cage with side bars. Stronger than the Ford Focus for sureI've not seen any official crash test results for the Noble chassis , I'll ask next time at track as there are a couple up there. They WILL have been tested and to more rigorous standards than 40mph head on and side impact !!
And as for US emissions, an expense on top of Eureopan emissions they dont' need to do if they do it in the US as a kit. Complain to your congressman if you want them fully facroy built
They ARE sports cars. Trust me, if you get a shot in one you'll realise

when will a Mini take on a 288 GTO? what about an MGB and an SLR?
but i wasnt comparing the enzo and the m12 in my statement, was i?, i was pointing out how dumbass my friend was in saying the skyline could beat an enzo
regardless of speeds~times~stuff like that, the enzo will outlive the skyline,

I'm sure with the right tuning, parts, and driver, it can.
I wasn't insulting you on your comparison or anything, i was broadcasting my opinion on the m12. Also, read my post again. your friend might not have been 'stupid' is he was refering to a drag race with a drag skyline.
outlive? what do you mean by outlive? less maintenance?
Enthusiast
no, it wont happen. dont get me wrong, i love mini's and the MGB, but i just dont see it hapening, ever
no, thats still stupid~the enzo is infanatly better then the skyline, no matter what version it is
it will be more presteigous, be known longer, run longer(yes, it will)
its a car very out of the ordinary, where as the skyline is just another rice burner with an "awsome engine"
its just not as apealing

You've got to be joking. Put a 10 year old first-time-driver in an enzo and michael schumacher in a mini, and schumacher will kill the 10 year old around nurhberg. (presuming the 10 year old can reach the pedals)
On the street yes, but if we had tunnel vision and only looked at drag racing, then a drag r32 would kill an enzo. Check out the 0-300km/h and quarter mile times for the skylines at www.exvitermini.com. The enzo's times pale in comparison to that. In some contexts, the skyline wins and in most contexts, the enzo wins.
You're joking. An enzo will outlive a skyline? Maintenance on the brakes alone is something like 30 grand every thousand miles. Where's your info to back up your claim?
Not as appealing? Not appealing to you, but more appealing than Heidi Klum to others.

notice i said nothing about drivers in my statement

thats why Ferrari pays for everything, need new brakes, take it in, meed a transmission fixer, take it in, as a matter of fact, i think i read somewhere that the owner MUST take it in every 1000 hrs for an overhaul
thats gay
