is it true thing can rev to 13grand rpms?
i dont think any comericaly produced V8 or 6 banger could rev 9,500 stock
Ya does a mustand rev up to 9,500rpm... haha no. I hate american cars. They are getting bailed out cause they don't know how to build,market, or produce cars up to the import standards
Im not tryna knock down any car cuz im a person that appreciates different makes and models. My only thing iz can a mustang still be reliable for 3years
20 grand in a v8 you should be pusshing 2000hp not a 1000...
I understand what you mean, and agree with it to a point, but why have the "4WD Turbo" Racing class in drag racing if, in your opinion, A car that easily takes out the title "shouldnt" be put in to it?
I prefer track racing but it is still good to see others putting up good times down the strip in a car that is more suited to the track.
no thats why the gtr was built for tracks not strips thats a total waste push it to the limit in handling and track times not quarter times the gtr is an awesome car and thats a waste of one
LOL @ You guys who are all like "v8's are great mate" Here in NZ We dont care. If you are pushing the boundary of what your car can do we will give you props for it. Screw all this rivalry its like comparing apples with oranges mate. Different shell different powerhouse different result. Good on ya for getting ya 20k 1000hp mustangs thats sweet but you cant compare a v8 to a 6cyl turbo thats why we have different classes of racing...
you will be happy to know its coming back out with more power
thats the point of it.heat treatments do a v8 car too
not really 1000hp mustangs only cost around 20k all around unless you want to get an expensive body a more fair comparison would be a 240sx with a skyline motor to a mustang but still the mustangs are soo much cheaper i just think if you have a skyline why drag race it i love skylines and i love mustangs but for different reasons right
naw wouldnt say that not a fifth that was 759 maybe 3//4 cause parts are cheap but tuning and turbos and suspension etc
waste of a skyline considering a mustang can do that for about a fifth of the cost a gtr is about handling not draggin
yes,it seems like its been tampered with(you're a smart fella)
but youre wrong. this beast easily manages a mind-numbing 1.19 seconds over the 60ft mark.
thats exactly what the unmolested video shows.
well done to andy, a street legal drag car,with that displacement and amount of forced induction why are his achievements surprising ?
its the standard formula you'll find on any drag strip ,especially american .its a bit red neck and old school .but i respect the workmanship.
Trucks and SUVs are 4WD and they can switch between 2high,4high, and 4low. AWD is usually used to describe full time 4x4 drive. This is just common naming, nothing to do with the mechanics of it.
the difference between andy frost's car and this is andy built it himself, this is a company..but a skyline is AWD not 4wd, no they dont have a controller that makes it that way, a skyline shifts it power to help get grip on the launch and in corners....
this car would by awd by your definition.
They have a little controller that can switch up where the power goes to.
the vauxhall im talking about is not 4wd it is rear wheel drive which means it is in a different class than the skyline.
You can see a video if you search for "2200bhp vauxhall victor"
"Aucklander Reece McGregor has set a world quarter-mile (400m) sprint record for all-wheel-drive cars."
Wouldnt that mean the vauxhaul was awd? because this record was set for awd cars....... which obviously means it wasnt rwd and your theory doesnt make sense.
Unless you are talking about just a car that did it quicker? not in awd class?
and awd/4wd is same shit. It varys from car to car though. Truck with 4wd is different from new gtr with attessa because of diff ect but they both "awd"
The reason it takes a 9.5 v8 tt plus nitrous to beat a 2.8 is because the vauxhall victor is putting 2200bhp down through the rear wheels whereas this skyline is putting its 1600bhp through all four wheels.
No it fucking doesn't. Im a fucking mechanic and there is a fucking difference between AWD and 4WD.
awd means its driven by all the wheels mutherfucker
No its 4WD. AWD means it can be driven by the front, rear or all the wheels.
yea but this wun is awd |
