Right before I say I'd like to state I'm a big big fan of the gt turbo starlet but even saying that there's no way it beats skylines maybe a 2ltr non turbo but to say it could beat all skylines is far fetched, take a r33 gts-t comes with 330bhp standard and is tunable up to 700-800 bhp would smoke a GT

Beating that merc I'd put it down to your brother's good driving and maybe the merc drivers lack of driving ability
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

i would love to belive this wasnt true, unfortunetly i was in the skyline at the time lol, we were on a tunnel run, i was in my friends r33 gtst which done 330 at wheels on the dyno day we had (for our club) and the gtst isnt 330 standard more like 260 270 but the gt was pushing us down the motorway and we couldnt pull away, the GT is 277bhp wheels and weighs a mere 700kg, if you think of the power to weight it is very possible, i wouldnt lie i mean, skylines are my second favourite car right after sexy supra's :D but 330bhp and a tonne and a half vs 277bhp and 700kg? work it out lol... however due to the gear ratios the skyline would have a possible higher top speed, after 160 in the starlet it got too dangeouse as it gets to light due to lift and any more is just suicidal on britains pot holey roads.
this has got a bit off topic but oh well, who doesnt like high-performance jap cars ayy :)

pulsars are far and few between and rarely go for under 4k, where as you could pick a starlet up off the forums for under 2k however who wouldnt want a sr20dett 700kg missile for an extra 2k!

Jap imported gts-t is 330 standard the European ones were restricted but even take the euro regd ones with the same time/money spent on it as was spent on the starlet, the skyline would destroy it

I'll tidy the thread up tomorrow if I get a chance and move all this to a new thread:lol:
