Youve got the remember when the skyline was at bathurst it was in another class to the V8 commos that it was competing against. How is a turbo charged 4wd going to be blown away from what is designed to be a V6 family sedan?
Skylines were superior for the day but now there is more than enough V8 muscle ( the new LS engine anyone?) to blow away anything nissan gags up.
Your a dickhead for trying to compare the two.
well everyone else here seems to want to compare the two specific classes of car (i.e. v8's vs turbo 6's/4's) and just because you have realised that yes, in fact turbo 4wd does and always will shit all over ne of ya primitive (FFS the LS2 is a fucking pushrod engine.. cmon holden move out of the 1930s please) V8's.
The truth of the matter is that whilst other countries have advanced (japan, france) and made lower capacity, smarter engines with a higher output, the cavemen that are desigining cars in australia simply adding more litres to get more power.
a 1UZ-FE from 1991 shits all over the LS2 for power to capacity ratio. and its 16 years older.
ford is stepping up to high tech sweetness with DOHC, computer controlled variable length intake runners and what not.
the best car australia has made in the last 30 years is a typhoon, b4 that it was the HO phase III, cuz that was way ahead of its time..
