Supra vs. Skyline

BP907MGTE · 07-24-2006, 02:23 AM

i do not like how toyota is making this crappy supra, i mean look at the 08 skyline GT-R, its inline 6 twin turbo with 480hp, and the supra has a v8 with 450, i think toyota needs to stick to the inline 6 and TT it and make it a competitor of the new American skyline,cuz the skyline is looking sweet, but for a pricy penny of 70,000+. i just want them to make something better lol

I have to agree with you on that one. In my opinion 4 and 6 cylinder cars are must quicker and snappier then 8 or definatly 10. Such as the Viper. Its a good car, but in a race against a Turbo 6 cylinder it doesnt stand a chance.

Arent you guys jumping ahead of yourselves?

... FYI this is a discussion... we are discussing what we think... Second of all. Talking about cars is rather irrelivant to farting and shit, thank you..

no offense but i would never dream of owning a 70k+ car in this lifetime. the new skyline might be coming to america but the only ppl that will be able to afford them are the same as those that buy the vipers, and which do you think they will get? a 6cylinder tt or a v10/v12 w/e they have.

If you ask me... Cars are much better with lower number of cylinders... v10's and v12s may have quite a bit of power, but they are built to have that many cylinders push the shaft. V6's Are built to have 6 push. Once you get a Twin Turbo in there they are pushing must faster then a v10 or v12. I think putting a v10 or v12 in anything besides a huge truck or machinary is rather stupid.

Just to let you know, they're not making anymore Skyline's, anymore. The one coming out in 08 is called the GT-R Proto. It's taking the place of the Skyline, just like the 350Z did for the 300ZX. My wife works at Nissan in Canton, MS, and she sent me the information about the Proto when it first came out, because she's privy to that info. She's Japanese and an interpreter, by the way.

the only way to compare new supra and new skyline would be to line them up and race at race track. and again some people would like one better than other...lol. by the way: there's no replacement for displacement...more cylinders- better, smoother and you can supercharge or turbo eny engine.
me beeing 45+ and a car dealer(lucky me...lol..can work 7 days a week)..i enjoy many different cars. right now have 4 integras type r( one turbo), srt-4 neon, 88 supra turbo 5 sp, 89 turbo at, 94tt at, 05 acura rsx-s, 05 elise,93 nissan 300zx, svt focus,vr6 golf , couple of mr2's and lots of fun little civics- i love them all. they all drive different and they all are fun average cars!!!
i use to own 96 carrera ,96 r-33 skyline gt-r...great car. my favorite one was 96 gts viper...but i smashed it to pieces beeing late for a movie..:-(.
i never had a v-12....never will probably( tune ups for $1-4K).forget it.
i drove 1160 hp viper twin turbo- way way to much power,scary shit...lol.

so..cry babies...wanna fast car, get an education, work for microsoft or something like that...then you buy better car...and believe me..it will have more cylinders.....
peace :-)
